📕 FREE GUIDE – How to Retire Before 2036: my full 10-year plan for anyone starting late.

Mainstream media claims Japan broke its own economy, but the reality is far more dangerous: China has spent the past ten months systematically dismantling Japan in an unprecedented economic war. With Japan forced to fund a massive $2.3 trillion defense and supply chain overhaul, the country’s $7 trillion debt pile is colliding with skyrocketing bond yields and a collapsing currency.
In this video, I break down why this economic clash is really a proxy war between China and the United States, how Beijing weaponized rare earth metals, tourism bans, and export controls, and why Japan’s 30-year era of free money is officially over. You’ll learn how the Bank of Japan’s fight to defend the yen could force them to dump massive amounts of U.S. Treasuries, what spiking Japanese bond yields mean for American debt markets, and how this quiet crisis will directly hit your pension, stock portfolio, and mortgage rates.

Let’s chat!
1. Do you believe Japan will be forced to dump its US Treasury holdings to defend the yen?
2. Were you aware that China’s economic squeeze on Japan could directly push up Western mortgage rates and bond yields?
3. How are you adjusting your portfolio to protect against rising global debt refinancing risks?

I wrote a FREE guide on How to Retire Before 2036.
It's the 10 year plan I'd follow if I was starting again at 40.

Random thoughts:
* China restricting rare earth metals to japan sounds like an EXPORT opportunity for Australia.
* pissing off foreign students means more housing for people to rent and will bring down rents. I mean, its all a scam and how many door-dash drivers do we really need – australia should try this 😂
* we need to check ALL coal ships that are in port and quarantine them for at least 6mths to make sure that their are no pests aboard – or at least until china goes dark from running out of coal.
* china screwed australia during the coof for daring to suggest that it came from them – cancelling aussie exports. Time to fuck back….
they are spending bc it doesnt matter, they know the reset is coming, its all planned
Can your next video be about Japan's economy again?
You did a very good job explaining this. Thank you.
When you consider that China is the world's leader in technology, manufacturing, logistics, education, etc., it might be a good idea for Japan to say "Yes" to China and even apply to join BRICS+. Japan would then also get the morality benefit. Afterall, both are Buddhist nations.
welcome back to TAKESHI´S CASTLE !!^^
China "takes meassures" against other countries for not complying blindly, but somehow trump and USA are the worst offenders either way ???….in my opinion, at least with the US there are still much more freedom (religion, sexuality, and even to speak and shout whatever you want even against the president and country itself), not such the case under a comunist leadership
Thats the missing piece of the Puzzle,
China.
They play Chess , American politicians play Checkers , thats so obvious.
Mentality out matched , so it seems
Well this actually explains a lot: its economic warfare.
On the rare earth bit, China cutting off Japan explains why Japan was doing rare earth mineral exploration on the seabed off the coast of one of their northern islands. They announced a discovery recently of rare earth deposits they found. I am sure they will figure out some way to mine those deposits.
The greater Yen-Carry trade unwinding has been the doom of damocles hanging above us. As the pressure mounts for the JCB to raise rates, one would expect turbulence and volatility to happen in the American stock/bond markets. Oh, wait, didn't the US Treasury just intervene in the USD/JPY FX market? And now they're announcing their own bond buybacks? The dark wizards of finance are very good at masking their crises.
A lot of the banking institutions hold bonds too. I think the American banks collectively held something like $550B worth of bond losses, and that was before this whole mess with Iran kicked off. As those yield rates rise, the bond holders who bought at lower rates are taking a loss on paper. This will mean that banks will be even more vulnerable to deposit flight.
“Humph, that nobody can pronounce” made my chuckle 😂
