Preparing to board my flight from the United States back to Hong Kong—thoughts arise. By Johnson Choi, Dec 23 2025
準備從美國上飛機返回香港有感而發. 作者: 蔡永強, 2025年12月23日
My grandfather, Mr. Choi Ying, was born in Hong Kong in 1875. Today, his children and grandchildren are spread across North America. For our family, China is the root that runs deep in our blood, while North America feels more like a temporary dwelling—a place where we have never truly felt we belong. Each time I set foot on the soil of Hong Kong, a silent yet profound joy wells up in my heart. The return of Hong Kong to the motherland was a long-cherished aspiration we had awaited for so long.
Yet, it is a pity that here in North America, we often encounter those who have turned their backs on their origins. While forgetting one’s ancestors and severing ties with tradition may be a personal choice, by serving as accomplices to hostile forces and lending support to those who harbor animosity toward China, such actions only deepen the hardship and sorrow of those who hold their homeland dear.
Video: U.S. Aircraft Carrier Looming Near Venezuela’s Doorstep? Why Is America Hesitant to Strike Venezuela? Unveiling the “Fatal Achilles’ Heel” the White House Won’t Admit! 影片有英文字幕: 美国航母在委内瑞拉家门口晃悠？为何迟迟不敢打委内瑞拉？揭秘白宫不敢说的“致命死穴”！
Friends, the U.S. has made a complete fool of itself this time!
With troops amassed at the border and an aircraft carrier blocking the doorstep, even Trump issued the harsh warning of “shooting down planes.” Logically, this should have been a rerun of “Desert Storm.” Yet, months have passed, and the U.S. military has only managed to stage an awkward “armed parade”?
Why does America, with its finger on the trigger, still refuse to pull it? Because Washington’s elites have suddenly realized they’ve fallen into an unsolvable “chain of deadlocks”! The moment they considered striking Venezuela, a cold “Sword of Damocles” was already unsheathed in the Western Pacific.
In this video, we’ll cut through the fog of geopolitical games and expose the final struggle of American hegemony before its collapse:
The Fatal Strategic Swap:
Trying to ignite South America? Then be prepared for East Asia to crumble!
Why are China’s Type 055 destroyers suddenly assembling? This is the ultimate “rescue Wei by besieging Zhao” strategy against the U.S.
The Second Afghanistan: Why is Maduro so defiant? Because he has the world’s factory standing behind him! Once “Chinese-style armed forces” appear in South America, the U.S. military will face a demotion-level strike.
The Global Chain of Interlocking Locks: Ukraine locks down Europe, North Korea keeps Japan and South Korea in check, and Pakistan restrains India. The U.S., holding a hammer, suddenly finds the ground littered with mines laid by China!
The Shift in Offense and Defense: From “America attacks, China defends” to “subduing the enemy without fighting”—watch how the Eastern power uses strategic patience to suffocate the U.S. with internal frustration!
Once you understand this game, you’ll see why it’s said: America cannot afford to lose, while we have the time to wait!
If you enjoy this kind of hardcore strategic analysis, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share it with more people. Let’s cut through the fog together and see the world’s true cards!
US is known to be the heaven for corrupt Chinese government officials and business person, But if you are just a wealthy Chinese worth US$20 millions or more, should you buy the US Golden VISA or will Hong Kong and Singapore a better choice? By Johnson Choi, Dec 23, 2025
From a rational planning perspective, Hong Kong and Singapore, as international financial centers, offer the following advantages:
Tax Efficiency: Territorial taxation principles, with exemptions on offshore income, and relatively low tax burdens on capital gains and inheritance.
Geographic Location: Proximity to Mainland China facilitates maintaining Asian business networks.
Legal Integration: Common law systems aligned with international standards, ensuring robust protection of property rights.
Political Stability: Both regions have long been recognized by international rating agencies for their stable legal environments.
While the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program provides access to education and market opportunities, the following considerations should be noted:
The global taxation system may impose higher tax burdens on high-net-worth individuals.
Long-term residency requirements and exit mechanisms are complex.
Recent policy tightening has led to longer approval cycles and increased compliance costs.
Once a green card or U.S. citizenship is obtained, relinquishing it is extremely difficult and often comes with significant penalties.
The U.S. faces challenges such as anti-Asian sentiment, homelessness, gun violence, a “pay-to-play” system for government contracts, institutionalized corruption, and personal safety concerns.
A diversified strategy is recommended: Consider using Hong Kong or Singapore as primary wealth management hubs while obtaining U.S. visas through legal channels to facilitate family education and business engagements. Specific plans should be customized in consultation with cross-border tax attorneys and wealth management institutions, taking into account individual asset structures, family needs, and risk tolerance.
Immigration policies of any country should be utilized within legal frameworks. The essence of wealth planning lies in achieving long-term, stable asset preservation and inheritance.
Video with English subtitles: Danger Signals! Europe in Collapse, Japan Testing Red Lines, the Final China–U.S. Game! A Dramatic Shift? 影片有英文字幕: 危险信号！欧洲崩溃，日本试探底线，中美的最终博弈！剧变？
At a time when the global situation is undergoing violent turbulence, we are standing at a historic crossroads. This episode revisits the geopolitical evolution of the past three decades and provides a systematic analysis of the strategic choices facing Europe, the United States, Japan, and China amid today’s complex upheavals.
From the strategic considerations behind proposals by several European countries to form a “multinational peacekeeping force,” to the latest debates over security frameworks in East Asia, the complexity of the situation now exceeds anything seen before. How should we understand the underlying logic behind these signals? Could 2026 become a collective reckoning point for the global debt cycle and strategic rivalries?
Key Topics in This Episode
📍 The Dilemma of European Strategic Autonomy: An in-depth analysis of how Europe seeks balance amid multiple power games, and the far-reaching impact of the Ukraine situation on Europe’s future security architecture.
📍 Trends in Japan’s Security Policy: An objective examination of recent discussions on “regional security” and “strategic deterrence,” and their potential challenges to the postwar international order and the non-proliferation regime.
📍 Balancing Great-Power Competition: An analysis of the latest developments in China–U.S. trade and military strategies, as well as recent practices by China and Russia in maintaining regional stability and building defensive coordination.

The “richest man in Asia” has been counting money for half a century relying on geographical arbitrage. However, the data in 2025 poured cold water on Singapore: GDP growth rate was cut in half, the transit business collapsed extensively, and the gantry crane went silent. In this silent competition, Hainan Yangpu Port is making strong efforts as a “Niu Hulu”. Not only has the cost dropped by 32%, but it has also “de-Malacca” the energy channel.
When point-to-point direct flights replace middlemen to earn price differences, can this small country still maintain its myth?
⚖️ This video provides an in-depth analysis of the changes in shipping in Southeast Asia and looks at how China is reshaping the global trade landscape through land-sea linkage.
💡 Core ideas: ✅ 1. The cost of path dependence: Singapore is overly dependent on transit trade. Under the new flat “spider web” trade model, the role of middlemen is rapidly being marginalized. ✅ 2. Reconstruction of China’s power: The rise of the China-Laos Railway and Hainan Yangpu Port is not a simple competition, but a qualitative change in the trade between China and ASEAN from the “candied haws of apples” model to a “point-to-point” efficient connection. ✅ 3. The end of the era of geographical arbitrage: The global trade flow will always flow in the direction with the least resistance and the lowest cost. Gone are the days of relying on monopoly intersections to collect “travel money”.

The Disruption Dilemma: Why Perceived Threat Shapes Resistance. By Johnson Choi, Dec 22 2025
顛覆的兩難：為何感知到的威脅形塑了抵抗. 作者: 蔡永強. 2025年12月22日
The Fear of AI: Job Replacement at Specific Levels
There is apprehension about AI, but its initial threat is often aimed at specific functions and roles. Professions centered on predictable, repetitive analysis or procedural tasks are most vulnerable. This includes:
Basic Accounting & Bookkeeping
Entry-level Statisticians & Data Processors
Front-line Programmers (writing boilerplate code)
Pharmacists (in dispensary roles)
Research Assistants (in data gathering & literature reviews)
The fear is real, but it is largely a technological displacement of particular job categories within nations.
The “Threat” of China: Systemic Challenge to Hegemony
The resistance from Western nations toward China is of a different magnitude. It is not about replacing tasks, but about reordering the global economic and geopolitical system. The core reasons are:
Value Capture, Not Just Cost-Cutting: China moved beyond being the “world’s factory” for low-value goods. It now produces high-value products and services (e.g., EVs, 5G, green tech, advanced engineering) at a fraction of the traditional cost, directly challenging the premium profits long enjoyed by industrial leaders like the United States and Germany.
Breaking the “Fat Profit” Supply Chain: For decades, Western nations, led by the U.S., managed a global system where they controlled high-value design, IP, and financial nodes. China’s ascent, particularly through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has physically and politically broken this model. By building alternative land and sea routes, China provides nations with options, dismantling monopoly control and redistributing economic leverage.
A Challenge to Hierarchy, Not Just Jobs: The U.S.-led system functioned with “vassal” states in a clear hierarchy. China’s model offers a form of strategic partnership without political alignment, effectively bypassing this chain of command. This is perceived not as an efficiency gain, but as an existential threat to the political and security order that underpinned Western economic dominance.
Conclusion: The Core Difference
In essence, AI is seen as disrupting how work is done within the existing system. China is seen as disrupting who controls and benefits from the system itself. The latter challenges national identity, global influence, and decades of strategic advantage, which explains the more profound and geopolitical nature of the resistance.
