Despite the challenges posed by the US-led technological blockade and various forms of international pressure, confidence in China’s semiconductor industry has markedly strengthened, driven by encouraging developments and substantial policy support.

Air China said on Tuesday that it had signed a framework agreement with Shanghai-based Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC) for the C929 wide-body aircraft, and the carrier expects to be the first user of the aircraft in the world.  

Tesla hit a trillion dollar valuation last night. The Shanghai gigafactory builds more Tesla EVs than the three other sites—California, Texas, and Germany—combined. Fully 95% of parts used at the plant come from within China. The build rate is one car every 40 seconds. 特斯拉昨晚估值突破兆美元。上海超級工廠生產的特斯拉電動車數量比其他三個工廠（加州、德州和德國）的總和還要多。該工廠使用的零件95%全部來自中國境內。建造速度為每 40 秒一輛汽車.

China and the European Union should address their disagreements and form a united front against a “triumphant” Donald Trump, said a former chief of the World Trade Organization, calling the incoming US president a threat to global trade. 世界貿易組織前主席表示，中國和歐盟應該解決分歧，結成統一戰線對抗「勝利的」唐納德·川普，稱即將上任的美國總統對全球貿易構成威脅.

US-China expert English video: India, China ASEAN, BRICS are push gold to record highs, then pull from Western vaults after Russia sanctions. They don’t trust gold stored in western vaults and institutions. Buying gold is de-risking against US Gov’t and US$. In other words move your US$ assets outside US jurisdiction and covert part of your assets into Gold and stored in countries like Singapore. 印度、中國、東協、金磚國家將金價推至歷史新高，然後在俄羅斯制裁後從西方金庫撤出。他們不信任把黃金儲存在西方金庫. 購買黃金可以降低美國政府和美元的風險. 換句話說，將您的美元資產轉移到美國管轄範圍之外，並將部分資產轉換成黃金並儲存在新加坡等國家.

Gold prices are at historic highs, buoyed by India and China central bank buying in OTC markets. Further, all-time high levels of gold repatriation are underway, to vaults in Asia. Industry insiders and market experts are puzzled at the intensity and the timing of the gold buys, which seem divorced from economic fundamentals.

But these moves are an essential aspect of the BRICS countries’ de-risking from Western banking systems. Following the sanctions on Russia, whereby billions of dollars of Russian reserves in US and European banks were seized, China and India were strongly motivated to reduce their exposure to Western regulators. China sold off huge portfolios of US Treasury bonds, and both China and India demanded physical deliveries of gold previously held by European custodians.

受印度和中國央行在場外市場買入的提振，金價處於歷史高點。 此外，黃金正在向亞洲金庫匯回，創歷史新高。業內人士和市場專家對黃金購買的強度和時機感到困惑，這似乎與經濟基本面脫節。

但這些措施是金磚國家降低西方銀行體系風險的重要面向。 在對俄羅斯實施制裁後，俄羅斯在美國和歐洲銀行的數十億美元儲備被沒收，中國和印度強烈希望減少對西方監管機構的曝險。 中國拋售了大量美國國債，中國和印度都要求交付歐洲託管機構先前持有的黃金.

US President-elect Donald Trump is likely to tap a roster of billionaires – Elon Musk, Stephen Schwarzman, Steve Wynn and Linda McMahon – along with some trusted Washington policy wonks to steer his freestyle diplomacy with Beijing, analysts said. 由始至終我都說像川普這樣的美國總統是生意人，現實主義者，比較容易解決問題，因為什麼東西都有價有碼，不講什麼意識形態，假民主，假法治等吹水不實制的議題，好像敗登這樣的總統說一套做一套，還時不時就在你背後加二刀!

When Trump comes to power, if you are not an illegal immigrant, don’t worry. There is nothing to worry about! There are more than 10 million illegal immigrants in the US today, which is 3% of the US population. They receive better benefits than many wage earners! This has to stop and send them back! 特郎普上台，如果你不是非法移民什麼也不要做，沒有什麼好擔心! 我的天美國今天有一千多萬非法移民是美國人口的3%. 他們拿的福利比很多打工仔還好！必須停止和送他們回去!

Democrats who launch endless attacks against Trump last 4 years will face retribution the old fashion American way, a taste of own medicine next 4 years. 特郎普有仇必報，斬草除根，否則春風吹又生.
