VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [s]

Speaking exercise

My senior boss approval my application and I named some reasonable reasons to them.
In October maybe because it is before the election and we can see the majesty Mr Trump based on his speech my judgement is that the relationship is over.

Recently he has had some interesting word he said we should decouple from China.
Economically , technically.
I use VPN softwares all the time and I try to collect international info from many countries and my conclusion is that this time American is tough and they are determined to deal with Chinese threats.
That is their theory, many scholars proposal that the rising China is a big threat to America and now our Majesty Trump … he takes this theory as practical actions
There are many actions taken by trump the ban for WeChat. The cancellation of student visas.
My hobby is trying to collect the sources of information and make some judgement because I need to judge the trend and the business flow.

Like I said what is the trend related to international business. India and Vietnam will be hotspot and I can see US companies setting R&D centers in Taiwan and JP companies moving manufacturing centers.
And also because I am a sales when I did a business trip I observe the change of factories. They close in 3-6 months and no orders because export business and on the other hand I can see many Taiwanese companies have retreated from China they moved their factory back to Taiwan.

Their might be regional protectionism, he is advocating we set regional areas with same value concepts and he wants those countries with democratic systems he tries to gather them to make a regional alliance.
There will be 2 systems, in one totalitarian and in on democracy.

America doesn’t consider Cold War like soviets before like in the 1960s. Now the era is different.
I have discussed this matters with my friends included TW, JP ,CN . they don’t believe there is going to be a hot war between China and America.
there are going to be military actions between CN and India.
Before they just fight in close combat and Indian died 20 soldiers and over 50 in Chinese side. So this time I believe there is going to be hot war
American politicians  are promoting some concepts that the pandemic is all china’s fault.
He said we should hold China responsible.

she brought evidences / samples / secret data to show the pandemic is actually a bio weapon.
A lot of Taiwanese including me. don’t trust Chinese propaganda because they are good at speaking but actually they have done less compared to their propaganda.

They will tell you how good we are and we provide so many opportunities to people we have a superior system.
We don’t trust them. Taiwanese government have done great job in this pandemic because they distrust the Chinese.

there are pros and cons with the Chinese regime and a lot of Taiwanese prefer democracy than totalitarianism

And also because I am a salesman when I do/go on a business trip I observe the change of factories. They close within 3-6 months because they have no orders / due to limited orders  and because export business is bearish and on the other hand I can see many Taiwanese companies have retreated from China they moved their factory back to Taiwan.

Their might be regional protectionism, he is advocating that we set regional areas with same value concepts / he is advocating the creation of regional areas based on cultural similarities
