starting from Mastercard and Visa and everyone forced to migrate to local banks.
If you want a 1929 on steroids, do that.
- hdgvhicv 10mo agoWill be interesting to see if Europe could actually replace things quickly Mobile phones (android could be forked I guess, Apple would be out). Payment processing - shouldn’t be a problem if the U.K. is on side, one industry which isn’t been completely bought by America I suspect China will jump at the chance to assist and Europe will be stupid enough to take it.
- morkalork 10mo agoAlright everyone, we're going back to Ericsson phones! Jokes aside, isn't pushing Europe into China's hands exactly what the USA doesn't want? Part of the motivation behind Venezuela was they were getting too cozy with China.
- jacquesm 10mo agoAre you seriously arguing for consistency and reason from the Trump administration?
- tordrt 10mo agoHow is it stupid for Europe to accept assistance from China if the US starts a war with Europe?
- hdgvhicv 10mo agoLocking in to a China solution rather than standing alone. Just changes one master for another
- tordrt 10mo agoThe US doesn't stand alone either? It's impossible to stand alone and still have access to all top tech in todays world. US will obviously rely much more on china without EU trade. EU is currently dependent on US for software/cloud. US is dependent on EU in advanced machinery, precision tooling and high end manufacturing equipment. The US imports massive amounts of chemicals, drugs and vaccines from the EU. Both regions would look to china for replacements probably. A major downside and risk for Europe is that they would have to get the share LNG from the US from elsewhere, as it's not self sufficient energy wise, but this would most likely not come from China.
- jacquesm 10mo agoIt will take me exactly 15 minutes. But obviously for large companies it will be a lot harder.
- babamus 10mo agoHow will you replace your demand for lng in 15 minutes?
