A
Chinese senior military official has declared that Beijing should
prepare to attack United States naval vessels, should the US violate
Chinese "territorial waters," according to Taiwan News.
Speaking from a Saturday conference in Beijing, Dai Xu - President
of the Institute of Marine Safety and Cooperation, and a PLA Air Force
Colonel Commandant, reportedly said:
北京の土曜の会議で、Dai XuーーPresident of the Institute of Marine Safety and Cooperation、そしてPLA Air Force Colonel Commandant、がこう述べたと言われる:
"If the U.S. warships break into Chinese waters again, I suggest that
two warships should be sent: one to stop it, and another one to ram it…
In our territorial waters, we won't allow US warships to create
disturbance."
Xu was referring to the frequent Freedom of Navigation Operations
(FONOPs) conducted by the United States in the South China Sea - the
most recent of which saw two US military vessels through the region for
four days - a passage which was later confirmed by the Pentagon.
An Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer and a Henry
Kaiser-class fleet replenishment oiler sailed through the Taiwan Strait
Wednesday, in what the Navy called a routine transit.

“USS Stockdale (DDG-106) and USNS Pecos (T-AO-197)
conducted a routine Taiwan Strait Transit on Nov. 28 (local time), in
accordance with international law,” Lt. j.g. Rachel McMarr, a U.S.
Pacific Fleet spokesperson, told USNI News in an email. “The ships’ transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The U.S. Navy will continue to fly, sail and operate anywhere international law allows.” -USNI News
「
USS StockdaleとUSNS Pecosが通常の台湾海峡通過訓練を11月28日におこなった、国際法に則る行動だった、」Lt.j.g.
Rachel McMarr、米太平洋艦隊広報官がUSNI
Newsに伝えた。「艦船の台湾海峡通過は米国の主張する開かれたインド太平洋作戦を示すものだ。米国海軍は引き続き国際法上で許された場所を飛行、航行する。」ーUSNI

Xu also suggested that a South China Sea conflict may push China towards targeting Taiwan and force reunification.
南シナ海の混乱が中国の台湾軍事侵攻を推し進めるかもしれない、とXuは示唆する。
"It would boost the speed of our unification of Taiwan… Let's just be prepared and wait. Once a strategic opportunity emerges, we should be ready to take over Taiwan," he said.

According to backtests from Goldman, since the mid-1980s, significant stock drawdowns (i.e. market crashes) began only when term slope started steepening after being inverted. ...
Powell Keeps The Bond Bull Kicking Written by Lance Roberts | Mar, 21, 2019 In a widely expected outcome, the Federal Reserve announced no change to the Fed funds rate but did leave open the possibility of a rate hike next year. Also, they committed to stopping “Quantitative Tightening (or Q.T.)” by the end of September. 多くの人が予想したとおり、FEDはFFR変更をしないだけでなく来年も不明とした。さらには、QTを9月末に終えると約束した。 The key language from yesterday’s announcement was: 昨日の発表の重要な部分はこういう具合だ: “ Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January indicates that the labor market remains strong but that growth of economic activity has slowed from its solid rate in the fourth quarter . Payroll employment was little changed in February, but job gains have been solid, on average, in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. 「1月のFOMC以来の情報を分析すると、労働市場は強いがQ4に比べると経済成長は鈍化している。2月の雇用環境にほとんど変化がなかった、ここ数ヶ月確実に雇用は増えている、そして失業率は低いままだ。 Recent indicators point to s...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう "On The Precipice" by Tyler Durden Mon, 06/24/2019 - 14:30 Authored by Kevin Ludolph via Crescat Capital, Dear Investors: The US stock market is retesting its all-time highs at record valuations yet again. We strongly believe it is poised to fail. The problem for bullish late-cycle momentum investors trying to play a breakout to new highs here is the oncoming freight train of deteriorating macro-economic conditions. 米国株式は記録的バリエーションのもとで再度過去最高を試している。私どもはこれが失敗すると強く信じている。景気拡大終盤で強気のモメンタム投資家が新高値を試そうとしていることの問題は、マクロ経済条件の悪化にある。 US corporate profit growth, year-over-year, for the S&P 500 already fully evaporated in the first quarter of 2019 and is heading toward outright decline for the full year based on earnings estimate revision trends. Note the alligator jaws divergence in the chart be...
