The majority of our movies now suck. Unwatchable. The only ones worse are Russian-made.

Fortunately, with Netflix we can watch movies from non Hollywood as well. Germany, Japan, Korean is pretty good

Why does China look so confident in this trade war vs. the USA? Can finance/economic experts tell us something we don't know?
You don’t have to be an expert, you just need to read newspapers regularly.
China discovered already in 2016–20 that USA could change its attitude drastically on a whim. They designed their economy to not be taken by surprise.
So they have built in resilience. And they have prepared counter-measures. Surely you realize why Musk is so strongly against the trade war? He has just been locked out from Chinese rare earth elements, that’s why. The Chinese sits on a huge portion of the raw materials needed to build EVs and solar panels and microchips and, for that matter, F35s, and they just enacted export controls – they call it “licensing” or something, but the bottom line is, Teslas can’t be built in the USA anymore, and they’ll probably stop supplies to the Tesla factory in Germany, provided the Germans still lets it operate despite the environmental disaster it’s proving to be.
And that’s just one obvious example. Vietnam was USA’s partner in the region to contain Chinese expansionism; Vietnam had even specialised in supplying USA with things they needed – and out of nowhere, USA decided that this supply was somehow “unfair”, slapped unilateral tariffs on Vietnam, and guess who’s going to buy all that stuff now even if they lose money on the deal? China, that’s who. The tariffs just handed Vietnam to China.
There’s a lot of that sort of thing going on right now. The Chinese leadership might be many things, but “stupid” is not one of them.
They were prepared.
And at the same time, it’s obvious that the US tariff regime was slapped together in an afternoon by people who had no clue what they were doing.
Of course the Chinese are totally confident. They were prepared, they know that the USA wasn’t.

We dropped our Netflix account years ago. Since we have Amazon Prime, that makes up for it. For the most part, a lot of the movies are good. Have watched a couple that were produced in UAE. Absolutely outstanding. Truly enjoyed.
But Russian movies? After watching three (I should have learned after two hoping the first was a fluke), they are simply unwatchable. Just can't do it.
Watched one Danish movie. It too was very well done.

With the U.S.'s $6.5 trillion debt due in about a month, this is really the time to engage with Trump. We should try to avoid Trump going nuts and starting a hotline to destroy the world. But just engaging, we won't reach any agreement.

China bending their knee....no rush on our side.

The fact is that Trump asked China several times to negotiate and China agreed to engage (not negotiate) only after an assessment. So it was the US that caved in. It's China that won't be in a hurry.
