Watch his recent post on his Facebook account.I have his suspicions that there is some Skulduggery behind all of this business. What I find Incredible is that the Chinese have stemmed their outbreak after conveniently sharing it with the worlds wealthiest countries.
They should be dying like flies over in China!, why have they stopped their outbreak yet it's is rampaging across Europe and the US.
That my main concern.
The other issue relates to his allegation that Chinese Investors are buying up stocks and shares at bargain prices. If that is correct, get ready for a War.! elAwardi talked for over 20 minutes, have a listen and then we can diiscuss his theory and either Rubbish it or give him some credit.
Him 👍

They stopped it because they had experience of dealing with SARS 18 years ago.
They spotted it. They clamped down. They got it under control.
We in the west will do so, but we have been horrifically slow to act and it will be more painful for us as a result.

Also. they're a totalitarian dictatorship with bugger all regard for human rights and will therefore push their people around in ways we can't in the west.

Sproty, I watched that Youtube.
I can only describe it as the deranged rantings of an ardent self-publicist, the like of which I haven't seen since David Icke in his prime.
It's just total and utter b*llocks.

It will be interesting to see what the Chinese do next, if you do get it under control.
Try and wait months for a vaccine or see if they dare relaxing restrictions.

'The Chinese' have been buying into companies all around the world for years. It's not new.

AND...everybody can buy shares..not just the Chinese. If there's one thing we can say for certain about the stock markets there is an absolute ton of cash on the sidelines right now all around the world with many people waiting to see the 'bottom'...wherever that might be.

The reason the Chinese have been buying shares all round the world is that that is their long term economic strategy.
They have, for thirty years, consumed less than they earn. The mirror image of the West. They have saved quite astonishing amounts. And they have invested those savings in buying up companies in the West and even, effectively, whole countries in the emerging world.
I wouldn't necessarily go as far as to say that they will leave the West far behind. But they will certainly catch us up, after starting miles behind in 1990.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it's not uncommon for Chinese families to save up to 80% of what they earn. I don't remember for certain but I remember the figure blowing me away.

They have seen an increase of cases as a result of people travelling into China. So there's a lesson. When you see the tide beginning to turn, don't relax travel restrictions straight away.

I've seen posts already on the local Facebook groups in my area about 'street party to end all street parties when this is all over'
As if someone will sound an all clear and the virus is gone. Surely this is going to bounce and bounce.

This'll take at least a couple of years to play out.
Expect the media to be rife with 'has it gone' stories as it flares up occasionally and spooks everyone. Hopefully, finally, the lessons will then be learned that when it comes to emergency planning you cut corners at your peril and that paring back the state in the interests of enriching your crony hedge fund mates really is a false economy.
