America Is LOSING Asia, On Purpose? China Bubble Think! | Warwick Powell

Warwick Powell warns that the West may be badly misreading China, Taiwan and the balance of power in Asia. We discuss the recent US-China meeting in Beijing, why Taiwan is not a bargaining chip for China, and why Powell believes America needs to handle the issue extremely carefully. He also argues that US deterrence in Asia may be far weaker than many assume, while China’s economy and industrial base remain much more resilient than the Western narrative suggests. We also cover the Middle East crisis, energy security, China’s next five-year plan, AI, robotics, automation, material sciences and what these shifts could mean for investors. #china #taiwan #geopolitics 👨‍💼 Guest: Dr. Warwick Powell 🏢 Company: Queensland University / Substack: Warwick Powell 📘 Book: Thermo Economics in a Time of Monsters 📅 Recording date: May 28th, 2026 --------------------------------- Check out our new German language YouTube channel: 👉 @KaiHoffmannAU 📰 Up-to-Date Commodity Prices & Commentary 📰 👉 Clear Commodity Network 👈 🌎 https://clearcommodity.net/ 🌎 ►► Follow Us! ◄◄ Twitter: / soarfinancial Website: http://www.soarfinancial.com/ -------------------------------------- Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 00:37 China’s Economy Is Not Collapsing 00:59 Taiwan Is Not A Bargaining Chip 01:17 Intro 02:09 US-China Meeting In Beijing 08:05 Strategic Stability 11:03 Trump’s Domestic Pressure 14:35 Taiwan Warning 20:25 Trump, TSMC And Taiwan 22:05 Taiwan And National Sovereignty 24:22 Is China’s Economy In Trouble? 25:17 Iran, Hormuz And The Middle East 27:06 America’s Base Problem 28:51 China’s Economy And Energy Shock 30:27 China’s Next Five-Year Plan 30:51 AI, Robotics And New Productive Forces 33:49 Infrastructure Of Flow 34:57 Where Investors Should Look 38:12 Where To Follow Warwick Powell 39:18 Final Thoughts -------------------- **Disclaimer:** Some of the links presented might be affiliate links.
