Since my American Chamber days in the late 80s, I've come across reports, and complaints, how China hasn't respected American intellectual property rights.
So much so, we had a committee looking into that.
China doesn't care the impression it gets.
Like, if it's cheap, it's got to have come from China.
If it's copied, it's definitely from China.
Of course, that creates chaos in business.
But fast sales for China.
As well as a reputation for stuff that doesn't "endure".
How would you feel if your "inventions" are copied to the "last rivet"?
Yes, the Chinese people are smart.
They're hardworking.
And yes, they're overworked.
And underpaid.
They live under communism.
Their strength is in numbers.
Once, they had a one-child policy.
A preference for male children, in fact.
Now, they regret it, for their aging population.
Still, the copying goes on.
And now, copying has gone digital, and dangerous.
Just try getting a China-made phone, and you'll see.
You may just lose files.
Or maybe your whole files may be wiped out.
You will constantly be spied upon.
Imagine if you did banking on it.
To this day, I'm not hot about face recognition, fingerprint unlocks, and any so-called secure password.
China, like other competitive countries, can unlock it all.
As with the Houthis of Yemen, and recently of Iran.
As born again watchman, we also found interesting side notes from recent events.
We thank the HOLY SPIRIT for leading us to greater understanding, just by studying certain patterns, and "movements" in specific countries' decisions.
Rightfully so, president Trump wanted NATO members to pay up for their defense, considering the U.S. has major contribution to the organization.
Trump is a businessman, after all.
His DOGE program, through Elon, was able to expose federal waste, abuse, and expenditure on non-essentials.
That's what businessmen do when facing financial crisis -- CUT your losses.
And boy, did the U.S. government have much to show for it.
This is Trump's watch.
What more when you have to watch over a whole country, perceived to be the most powerful nation on earth.
In this second presidency, Trump is focused on continuing where he left off.
This time, he needs to finish what he started in 2017.
These are the side notes SPIRIT made us pay attention to:
-- Britain's Starmer will be ordering 12 nuclear-capable F-35As for NATO defense.
-- For refueling, Britain may need to purchase boom-capable air tankers.
-- Switzerland wants to order 36 F-35As, priced at US$7.4 billion.
-- Denmark needs Saildrone technology to monitor the Baltic, North Sea, and European Arctic waters.
Surely, there are other more high-tech stuff needed by NATO, and its allies, to protect themselves from noticeable Russia, China, Iran, and North Korean threats.
And yes, you guessed it right.
All three high-tech stuff mentioned above come from the U.S.
Boom-capable air tankers, such as the KC-135 Stratotanker, are made by Boeing, based in Crystal City, Virginia.
"The flying boom is a rigid, telescoping tube with movable flight control surfaces that a boom operator on the tanker aircraft extends and inserts into a receptacle on the receiving aircraft. All boom-equipped tankers (e.g. KC-135 Stratotanker, KC-10 Extender, KC-46 Pegasus) have a single boom and can refuel one aircraft at a time with this mechanism."
Saildrone, from Alameda, California, designs, manufactures, and operates unmanned/uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs).
From Trump's recent "GULF trip", and the additional orders above, Boeing is burping, Saildrone is booming, and America is hardly in dire straits anymore.
EU, NATO, and the rest of the world may keep hitting Trump's policies regarding America "first", but they cannot discount the fact only America can supply the tech they need.
It seems the U.S. is taking great pains to regain her top military status.
Under Trump's no woke left, nor DEI program, and Defense secretary Hegseth's "lethality" focus, America can breathe easier, knowing capable men are at the helm.
As America protects herself, she's also able to create business for her many defense industries.
Of course, America needs to work double time to catch up with China's speed, and tech, after America's three woke left Dem presidents who thought DEI, and LGBTQ, matter more than territorial defense.
As such, the U.S. has been unnecessarily exposed to threats from outside, and from within.
America must stop having treasonous presidents.
Perhaps, president Trump can show the Dems a thing, or two, on how to protect one's country.
We realize, of course, no one can match tiny Israel's defense, and offense capabilities.
Still, she also relies on America's supply of defense technology.
Spiritually, Israel relies on GOD's love, and power.
She is His chosen nation.
Deuteronomy 7:6
King James Version
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God:
the Lord thy God hath chosen thee
to be a special people unto himself,
above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
If anything, the whole world had been asleep.
As we were, China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, have been busy filling the gaps.
Their tech, and trade dominance, were exposed soon as Trump stepped back in.
Trump merely sounded the alarm.
Never think his desire for Greenland, and Panama, are whims.
There's more to president Trump that may just surprise many.
So far, he's got a penchant for making sure America can move freely everywhere.
Now, America is working fast to cover that gap, and plug the holes she was peppered with.
Trump has seen where America has been taken advantage of.
He doesn't mince words about it.
Now, he's not about to be stopped from continuing his legacy programs.
He's been mocked, humiliated, and attacked, but we now see what the man's made of.
And what he can achieve, despite all the treason, and grumblings of so-called members of Dem congress, who cannot disguise their Socialist leanings.
Your exceptionally hard-working president may bring in US3.5 to US$4 trillion in investments to America, from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE by the end of his four-day visit to the Middle East.
The warm welcome he received at the airport, with MBS waiting at the airport himself, and with fighter jets escorting Air Force One over Saudi airspace, is in sharp contrast to when Biden made a state visit on 16 July 2022.
Trump said he and the prince have been friends for a long time now.
You could see the affection the prince has for him.
America will supply Saudi Arabia US$1 trillion worth of defense stuff.
"The other day, president Trump was received warmly in Saudi Arabia.
From that, the president was able to produce at least US$1 trillion in investments for America.
Top companies, especially in the defense, and digital, industry were all there to make their deals."
"The United Arab Emirates[b] (UAE), or simply the Emirates,[c] is a country in West Asia, in the Middle East, at the eastern end of the Arabian Peninsula. It is a federal elective monarchy made up of seven emirates, with Abu Dhabi serving as its capital.[13] It shares land borders with Oman to the east and northeast, and with Saudi Arabia to the southwest; as well as maritime borders in the Persian Gulf with Qatar and Iran, and with Oman in the Gulf of Oman."
