The waves of the sea soundlessly drowns out the night, Overflowing from the edges of the sky. Big Fish is swimming in the gaps of dreamscape, Gazing upon your slumbering form. Look - the sea and sky are of the same color, Listen - raising winds and falling rain. Take your hand, blow away the endless mist. Big Fish's wings are too vast, I release the ropes of time. I fear you'd fly far, Far away from me. But I fear even more so that you stay here forever. Every drop of tear, they flow to you. Falling into the depths of the sky. The waves of the sea soundlessly drowns out the night, Overflowing from the edges of the sky. Big Fish is swimming in the gaps of dreamscape, Gazing upon your slumbering form. Look; the sea and sky are of the same color, Listen; raising winds and falling rain. Take your hand, blow away the endless mist. Big Fish's wings are too vast, I release the ropes of time. Watch you fly far, so far, Far away from me. It was true, you were born for the Heavens. Every drop of tear, they all flow to you. Falling back to the first time we met. Falling back to the first time we met. Falling back to ... the first time ... we met.

With Jerry's Take on China ... YT comment : "It is win-win versus win-lose. Two very different mindsets". YT comment : "Propaganda is about decoupling what people 'know' from reality. Insanity is believing your own propaganda". YT comment : "A bully does not want competition at all. Rules are always bend to suit their own agenda and arms are twisted to coerce who is the big daddy on the playground. Moreover deploying half truth tactics or false flags to raise fear are common tactics in their playbook." YT comment : "Fear is the only reason the U.S. wanted to contain China. When tariffs failed, technology sanctions followed. When both tariffs and sanctions failed, de-coupling became the buzzword. And when de-coupling was found to hurt the U.S. economy more than China's, it was changed to de-risking which in effect means a "slow de-coupling" until a more appropriate time. And now, fear has invaded European minds and the Europeans want to adopt the American low-life tactics. Twenty years ago, American muscle cars and reliable Japanese cars plus reputable German, French and Swedish cars and even newbies from South Korea were selling like hot cakes in the Chinese market and each and every maker made a fortune in China. Nowadays, however, the U.S. has no hope of selling anything to China -- not only industrial products but also agricultural produce which are easily replaced by many other countries around the globe. Sooner or later, the world will be divided into 2 camps: one that embraces worldwide integration and the other a closed economy that fears competition. The acceleration of the de-dollarization movement will speed up the divide even further, to the point that it may break the world monetary system in half."
