They don’t consider themselves Chinese. But they have Chinese roots, with the vast majority of people having Chinese ancestry.

Rutte is secretary general of NATO. Making war related decisions is not possible in his position, that’s up to the member countries. His job is to coordinate and in this case, deescalate.

It’s understandable that not everyone wants to riot for moral values and against mass corruption, but surely everyone can see that it’s just a matter of time before distress comes to the USA if nothing is done right now? It’s pretty naive to assume that your new enemies won’t hit back in some way, and most of the world just wants the US to become a meaningless country, since everyone is sick of the constant abuse of power and its negative effects on the world economy and stability. To join riots right now is the least the American people can do. Throughout American history it was often needed for the many to fight the elite and that time has come again.

The USA has its own issues. It has relatively high inequality compared to other civilized countries. Discrimination against black Americans is still present. And the USA is a prison country, one in every 150 Americans is in prison right now, a number 5-10 times higher than European countries and also higher than China.

Traders react to what they think is going to happen, not what is currently happening. Also they usually do not trade as emotionally, but rather based on processed information.
It becomes clear that this war is going to last and oil supplies will be further delayed, lowering economical prospects worldwide, which causes the market to react. A volatile market also creates some opportunities for profit as traders can gain both when the market value increases and decreases, depending on how they are trading (although it also increases risk). If you are skeptical, market manipulation is also a possibility as Trump administration is already being investigated for this.

It’s true that they probably will not start their own butcher’s shop. Then again, what do Germans need? Most want affordable meat, which requires cheap labor. They want affordable houses, which requires cheap construction workers. They want affordable logistics and shipping, which requires cheap personnel.

These jobs are never going to get a top loan because that would cause inflation for everyone. And most Germans aren’t even motivated to work there even if the wages were good, because the work is hard/irregular/dirty.

Western European countries have always needed foreign workers, many of which have become part of our society such as the people from Turkey that came here decades ago. If Germany wants to continue without their foreign workers they would be immediately having around 8 million vacancies even by removing the people who don’t have a citizenship yet. Germany has one of the most aging populations in the world, there’s not a chance those vacancies will be filled without foreign workers.

In Germany, there are truly many vacancies in some areas. For instance, there are around 35k open vacancies for nurses and this number is expected to grow to around 150k in the coming years as the baby boom generation is getting older. Most Germans just don’t like the prospect of working irregular hours and wiping elderly patients’ butts, even though wages and secondary conditions are improving for nurses.
