Response to Frederico Cuevas comment in my Investment account

Frederico, For years you guys have been blowing a lot of smoke about the greatness of China. I believe you are dead wrong. Look at all the stupid investment of US $ that went into their housing bubble only to see it collapse [literally]. Did we make any money on that or did the IMF just write off billions to save China's ass while their top bankx Yuan turned from gold to dust overnight?. Now you are touting the AI stuff where many chips are really made in Taiwan. China is now begging the US to help them put AI in space. Why are you not directing US Investors to help Space X AI go into orbit. It is the better option, and not as weak as the Chinese who are only copycats like Japan was in the 1950's You are heading into a brick wall by dissing Musk. He has it all, and you are ignoring his Genius in favor of the Chinese who can only steal what he creates. These guys do not have the fundamental personal freedoms to create a sustainable technological advantage over US innovation. Stealing ideas is not the same as original innovation. Keep betting on China and in the end you will see it is just a fake economy and a house of cards directed by rigid Communist standards. Just like Russia. Belt and road is like a flashy sequin dress on a shapely lady, but peel off the sequins and what do you have? It is a debt hole for the US investor. China's belt and road is a failed system looking back down that road at whole nations that are going out of business when they find that all the Free stuff the deceptive Chinese promises IS NOT FREE. CHINA Instantly seeks massive immediate repayments of the "Free" mirage. they offer to entice these poor people into their web of deception. Perhaps a place to get in, make some money,take profit and run. aFTER THE CONCRETE IS POURED: China extracts a portion of the nations Sovereign territory, this is the hook that gets them in the door, and it is what Russia wants to do to Ukraine. "Putin just wants a piece like Donbass, but once he gets it, it it becomes a cancerous tumor which will spread over the whole nation. . The whole of it is a charade ' not a long term investment. What happened to sri Lank? Sri Lanka did not technically "cede" its port area, but rather leased it. In 2017, struggling to repay the heavy costs of building the" fREE" Hambantota Port, Sri Lanka signed a 99-year lease agreement granting a controlling 85% equity stake in the facility to China Merchants Port Holdings in exchange for a $1.12 billion cash. Just 99 years. This is all it cost Sri Lanka for a Chinese "Free" port refurbishment. China made back all they invested [ or I should say all the IMF loans to the {developing nation" of China in less than a year. You seem bright, but quit misleading people.for short term goals.
