Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.” – Alan Jones. To those who do not follow foreign affairs news and how it impacts American business, there may seem at first to be little or no connection between the gut-wrenching fall of Kabul, China, and Taiwan. But even before Kabul’s disastrous fall during Joe Biden’s Camp David weekend, there have been months of warnings related to China, Taiwan, and how looming threats of war could disrupt American supply chains. Because numbers of manufactured home producers are buying products from China, this is one of several possible disruptive events looming on the horizon. This MHProNews report and analysis will provide a range of information from various cited sources foreign and domestic. It will also lay out a timeline that connects dots via headlines with sources this publication has developed a professional relationship with.

As a relevant segue, one manufactured home producer that is a Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) member has told MHProNews that they are already preparing to make changes away from getting supplies from China.

The reasons others in manufactured housing may want to do similarly will be systematically outlined herein. Like pieces on a jigsaw puzzle, each item when fitted will reveal a sobering picture.

 

For example.

  • Supply Chain Brain said on January 26, 2021 that “The World is Dangerously Dependent on Taiwan for Semiconductors.”  “That’s mostly down to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., … there will be all of a sudden supply chain disruptions…”
  • Citing Bloomberg,China pushes the world to avoid official dealings with Taiwan…” “Taiwan, which China regards as a province…” “Taiwan is the center of gravity of Chinese security policy,” said Mathieu Duchatel, director of the Asia program at the Institut Montaigne in Paris. Yet while Taiwan’s status in the global chip supply chain is a “huge strategic value…”
  • In the wake of the fall of Kabul China’s media is telling the world – think Taiwan – that the U.S. is an unreliable ally.
  • Per left-leaning Newsweek,Chinese State Media Says Afghanistan a Lesson for Taiwan.” Two days ago that source said, “Some historians also point out that abandoning allies to protect U.S. interests is an inherent flaw that has been deeply rooted in the U.S.”

With that backdrop, some video from Sky News is useful to seeing the view from that side of the globe.

August 16, 2021 – Sky News.

 

Sky News on China Taiwan Threats.

 

 

August 16th, Sky News Alan Jones – Sky News host Alan Jones says “humiliatingly” the “alleged leader” of the “world’s democracies is now racing for the exit door while poor Afghans who were promised democracy are left to the fate of the murderous Taliban.” Of course, it should be noted that the U.S. is technically a republic that has democratic features, but Jones’ point is noteworthy. His following in Australia and beyond is significant.

 

 

The following headlines are a sampling that tees up the growing post-Trump rhetoric and steps from China as it relates to their  multi-decades desire to reclaim Taiwan.

Why this matters is because for years, the U.S. has a commitment to Taiwan to defend the island nation if China attacks. It should go without saying that in the case of a shooting war, that supply chains proceeding uninterrupted from China to the U.S. would seem unlikely.

Obama freed Taliban-takeover mastermind from Guantanamo

QuoteSignSymbol100x156Swapped for American deserter Bowe Bergdahl

By Art Moore

Published August 17, 2021 at 3:48pm

One of the five Taliban leaders released by President Obama in 2014 in exchange for U.S. Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl is the mastermind of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.

Khairullah Khairkhwa was part of the official Taliban delegation that negotiated with the Biden administration the final terms of the U.S. withdrawal, clearing the path for the Taliban to retake Afghanistan, reports investigative reporter Paul Sperry for the New York Post.

U.S. intelligence officials regarded the Taliban Five as the “hardest of the hardcore” and urged Obama to reconsider his decision to release them from the Guantanamo Bay prison. Sperry noted that Obama assured Americans the jihadist leaders would be transferred to Qatar and prevented from causing any trouble.

“In fact, they were left free to engineer Sunday’s sacking of Kabul,” Sperry writes.

TRENDING: See people clinging to U.S. jets leaving Afghanistan disaster

After the release of the Taliban Five, the Obama-Biden administration then turned a blind eye to intelligence reports and the pledge of the commanders to return to fight Americans in Afghanistan. Using Qatar as a base, they made contacts with active Taliban militants in Afghanistan.

At the peace summit with the U.S., Khairkhwa declared the Taliban’s prime objective, to establish Islamic law in Afghanistan.

“I started jihad to remove foreign forces from my country and establish an Islamic government, and jihad will continue until we reach that goal through a political agreement,” Khairkhwa said.

Sperry pointed out that earlier this year, Khairkhwa promised not to retaliate against any Afghans who worked with the U.S. military or the American-backed government in Kabul.

But reports from Kandahar and Kabul indicate Taliban are going door to door with a “kill list” in hand.

Khairkhwa, Sperry reported, previously served as the Taliban’s interior minister in Afghanistan, overseeing enforcement of Islamic-law punishments such as beheadings and stonings.

As the Taliban moved into Kabul this week, Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer pointed out the American government and the media’s “spectacular misunderstanding of the conflict.”

Taliban commander Muhammed Arif Mustafa, in an interview with CNN, spelled out the ultimate objective.

“It’s our belief that one day, mujahedin will have victory, and Islamic law will come not to just Afghanistan, but all over the world. We are not in a hurry. We believe it will come one day. Jihad will not end until the last day,” he said.

A CNN journalist described the remarks as “a chilling admission from a group that claims it wants peace.”

“The Taliban does indeed want peace,” Spencer commented. “It wants the peace that will follow the world’s submission to the hegemony of Islamic law.” ##

Next are the following self-explanatory communications between MHProNews and the Texas Real Estate Research Center. As noted, these are interconnected to the topics above.

“I completely agree with the Zero Hedge article about the “I see no ships” philosophy of the equity markets, media and government. I believe the bond market is telling the most accurate story. There is trouble on the horizon. My opinion is that we will see negative yields on the 10 Year Treasury before we see 2%. At some point there is going to be a crisis. I suspect it is going to be a geopolitical crisis involving China and the US.

I have been following the crackdown in China. The crackdown on Chinese big business started with the Ant IPO. The Chinese Ruling Class decided Jack Ma got too big for his britches and made an example of him for the rest of the emerging powerful business class. https://www.businessinsider.com/what-happened-ant-group-ipo-jack-ma-alipay-2020-11.

They followed this up with a crackdown on Bitcoin miners. Chinese leaders don’t like Bitcoin. They can’t control it. They want their citizens to use the digital Yuan instead so they can track and control it.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/21/bitcoin-btc-price-drops-on-china-crypto-mining-crackdown.html

https://www.forbes.com/sites/zinnialee/2021/06/23/bitcoin-mining-companies-exiting-china-as-authorities-crackdown-on-cryptocurrencies/?sh=6f1a4c2b3983

Now they are cracking down on after-school tutoring companies. Why? My guess is that the government wants total control of private education in China in these “perilous times” of social media proliferation.

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/us-listed-chinese-stocks-adr-china-crackdown-companies-didi-education-2021-7

The business crackdown in China has pulled the curtain back on “Capitalism with Chinese characteristics”. My guess is that this is a big (confidential) topic in the strategic planning of corporate boardrooms in the Western world. Suddenly the profit potential of business in China looks cloudy at best. Who is going to invest more capital in such a heavily regulated economy that seems to be sliding further into opposition of private business?

The problem with migrating production from China to the US is that it will trigger significant inflation. The “North American price” is much higher than the “Chinese price”. China has been printing huge amounts of currency to hold down the labor price in their country relative to other countries. No other country can replicate the Chinese manufacturing infrastructure in a short period of time. My guess is that manufacturing quietly moves to other developing countries with manufacturing capabilities. China knows this and I think that is why it has become more aggressive toward other smaller competing countries in Asia.

I’m thinking a call to the Texas Economic Development Corporation might provide some information for this request. https://businessintexas.com/

Texas would be a prime candidate for relocating Asian operations to the US. We have a lot of inexpensive land and energy and good transportation infrastructure.

Prior to those insights from a last week, was the following from the Texas Real Estate Research Center. Again, these are puzzle pieces that interconnect to manufactured home industry issues. In this instance, once more supply chains are mentioned.

 

The latest Texas Manufactured Housing Survey reveals an uptick in industry optimism regarding the second half of 2021. Manufacturers are investing in capital expenditures and expanding payrolls in hopes of boosting production, but supply-chain disruptions remain a hindrance.

According to Dr. Harold Hunt, research economist with the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University, “Although supply-chain bottlenecks continue, port and railroad executives predict significant improvement in material flows six to nine months from now.”

Their full media release to MHProNews is linked here.

 

That said, the release was provided prior to the fall of Kabul into Taliban hands. The possible ripple effects this may have on adversaries such as China, North Korea, and other regional actors that do not have the best U.S. interests in mind must be considered. Possibly others that may take this opportunity to challenge what numbers internationally perceive as weakness from Biden.

 

Numerous possible points could be made, but this report will wrap on these notes.

  • Among the items now being discussed is the rare earth minerals that were in Afghanistan.
  • The fall of a friendly government into radical Muslim hands that are chanting “death to America” is causing China, Russia and others to lick their chops. This can’t be good for the U.S.A. Nor can it be helpful to American supply chains overseas. It must be kept in mind that China’s navy rivals ours, and it may be more focused in deployment.
  • For those unaware, and as a planned report will detail, Biden pulled out of the Trump Administration brokered peace deal commitments between the U.S., Afghanistan and the Taliban. Following that pull out by Biden, the Taliban publicly said that they were no longer bound by the terms of the deal. Biden went beyond the agreed to withdrawal timeline for U.S. forces. That also moved the scenario there into the ‘fighting season’ in Afghanistan.

It is therefor Biden’s outcome.

Indeed, as Newsmax reported last evening:

  • A new report suggests President Joe Biden was not only long a proponent of deserting the Afghan people, but he even pointed to the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam and how former President Richard Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger “got away with it.”
  • The remarks come from a 2010 diary entry from Obama’s special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported Tuesday.
  • When Holbrooke asked then-Vice President Biden about the American duty to protect vulnerable Afghan civilians, Biden shot back with a four-letter word and a historical reference, the Mail reported.
  • F*** that, we don’t have to worry about that,” Biden told Holbrooke just months before his death in 2010. “We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it.”

Note to those manufactured housing professionals who may be in some state of denial about any or all of these issues. “Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.” – Alan Jones. To Biden’s credit, at least he mentioned that the buck stops with him. Indeed, when it comes to military matters, under our system of Constitutional law, the person acting as chief executive has far more maneuvering room than on numerous domestic policy issues.

MHProNews plans to continue to monitor on such issues and report as is deemed warranted. ##

Senator Mike Lee (UT-R) has accused the Biden team of implementing policies that harm the poorest and middle class more while enriching the wealthy. Weeks before others in the mainstream media began to flash their ‘inflation warnings,’ MHProNews added first the top, then later the second notice above. When someone has even a basic understanding of the principles of economics, ‘inflation’ was predictable. The question is, will hyper-inflation follow? There are voices on both sides of that debate. That noted, the facts are troubling. What is occurring in the marketplace in towns and cities across America is far more impactful on those with fixed and lower incomes.

Manufactured Housing Industry Investments Connected Equities Closing Tickers

Some of these firms invest in manufactured housing, or are otherwise connected, but may do other forms of investing or business activities too.

                          • NOTE: The chart below includes the Canadian stock, ECN, which purchased Triad Financial Services, a manufactured home industry lender
                          • NOTE: Drew changed its name and trading symbol at the end of 2016 to Lippert (LCII).
                          • NOTE: Deer Valley was largely taken private, say company insiders in a message to MHProNews on 12.15.2020, but there are still some outstanding shares of  the stock from the days when it was a publicly traded firm.  Thus, there is still periodic activity on DVLY.
