Breitbart News ^ | October 29, 2018 | John Hayward

Posted on 10/29/2018 5:17:48 PM PDT by familyop

China’s state-run Global Times panicked over the election of Jair Bolsonaro as president of Brazil, penning a Monday editorial sternly lecturing the new Brazilian leader that shifting trade away from China to the United States would be “unthinkable...On the other hand, Reuters found Chinese officials and senior executives eyeing Bolsonaro with “varying degrees of concern,” particularly when he talks about tightening Brasilia’s grip on the supremely valuable niobium industry. Bolsonaro has been critical of China’s efforts to dominate Brazilian mines, but might be obliged to mute his criticism because China has become such an important customer for Brazilian iron and agricultural products.

“The temperature stability of niobium-containing superalloys is important for its use in jet and rocket engines.

Niobium is used in various superconducting materials. These superconducting alloys, also containing titanium and tin, are widely used in the superconducting magnets of MRI scanners. Other applications of niobium include welding, nuclear industries, electronics, optics,...”

“unthinkable”..... LOL, commies are such bleeping mindless bullies. A sovereign nation like Brazil is just not allowed to adopt any policy the Chicoms don’t approve of, is that it?

You are correct.

World War III is closer than most people realize.

China will not allow it's wealth and power to diminish.

China is getting ready for war.

They don’t want their growth and wealth diminished, but they like to threaten. In a real war they risk losing everything.

Soybeans? Hmmm, seems to me it’s Brazil that has China over a barrel.

https://sputniknews.com/business/201810291069313053-china-animal-feed-soybean-import/
“... the Chinese Agriculture Ministry said one of the world’s major soybean producers — Brazil — could substitute the US as China’s main supplier of the strategically important crop.”

Awe, the commies see their foothold in South America - where they had hoped to open up military bases - suddenly evaporate. Powuh wittle Marxist gooks.

And Cher too. Apparently she's also panicking over bolsanaro. Maybe he'll ban her from entering the country. Not that she has plans as far as I know but nonetheless... 🍿🍻😹

In a real war with China, the United States would annihilate these commie gooks, using strategic, sub-launched nuclear missiles. The Chicom government and military would be radioactive ash in less than 30 minutes. Then we probably launch a few land based nukes, just to bounce the rubble a few times.

I hate commies - and I especially despise the damn Chinese variety. Have not yet met a Chinese national who was not a totally unethical, immoral a-hole.
