Foreign Companies Bail Out of China’s Tottering Economy

 Foreign companies are increasingly withdrawing from China's struggling economy, showing a lack of confidence in the government's ability to stabilize the market.

• Recent reports indicate that major firms, including the U. S. law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton and a BlackRock fund, are exiting China.

• Cleary Gottlieb plans to close its Beijing office, while BlackRock forfeited two office towers in Shanghai after failing to repay a significant loan.

• Many law firms and real estate developers are leading this departure due to declining profits, which have decreased by nearly 18% over the past three years.

• Foreign firms worry they cannot compete with domestic companies that receive favorable treatment from the Chinese government.

• The availability of office space in major cities like Beijing has surged as a result of this exodus, with reports showing over 20% vacancy rates.

• In Shanghai, vacancy rates are similarly high, with many cities surpassing a critical threshold of 20%.

• While Middle Eastern firms are moving into some of the vacated spaces, they currently lack the capacity to fully replace the Western companies leaving China.

• The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has introduced a twenty-point action plan to attract foreign investment again, but its effectiveness remains uncertain.

• A recent report revealed a dramatic drop in foreign direct investment (FDI) by $168 billion in 2024, marking the largest decline since 1990.

The significant withdrawal of foreign companies from China highlights serious concerns about the country's economic stability and the continued attractiveness of its markets to international businesses. As the situation evolves, it remains to be seen how both the Chinese government and incoming foreign firms will respond to these challenges.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
