Today's episode is the third in a series of three that examine the potential consequences for China if a military operation against Taiwan were to fail. In each of these episodes, we're speaking with authors of a recently published German Marshall Fund study of the possible costs that China would incur across four different, but interrelated areas: the Chinese economy, the military, Chinese social stability, and international costs. The report is titled, “If China Attacks Taiwan” and it is posted on GMFUS.org.  Our podcast today focuses on the potential costs for the Chinese economy.To recap, the study considered two scenarios that could take place in the next five years. In the first scenario, a minor skirmish escalates into a multi-week maritime blockade of Taiwan by China. Although several dozen members of the Chinese and Taiwanese military are killed, U.S. intervention eventually forces China to de-escalate.  In the second scenario, a conflict escalates into a full-fledged invasion, with Chinese strikes on not only Taiwan but also U.S. forces in Japan and Guam. After several months of heavy fighting, Chinese forces are degraded and eventually withdraw after suffering many tens of thousands of casualties.Our guests today are Charlie Vest and Logan Wright, who co-authored the chapter on the implications for the Chinese economy of a failed operation against Taiwan. Logan is a partner at Rhodium Group and leads the firm's work on China's economy and its global impact. Charlie is an associate director at Rhodium Group, where he manages corporate research and advisory work on China.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:34] Key Takeaways: China's Ambitions vs. Economic Realities [05:41] The Escalation Dilemma in China's Decisionmaking[09:56] Immediate Disruptions to Trade and FDI[13:52] Gray-Zone Military Engagement and Political Pressures[16:48] Could Beijing Underestimate the Costs of US Intervention? [24:12] Policy Tools and Limitations for Economic Stabilization and Recovery[27:19] Long-Term Economic Effects[29:24] Impact of Social Instability

Retail rice prices in Japan are still above 4,000 yen per 5 kilograms on average, almost double the level before supply shortages hit consumers, even after the government's releases of stockpiled rice to keep prices low.

One renewable energy advocate believes New Zealand would be better off burning our coal reserve than building a liquefied natural gas terminal. The Government's aiming to sign a procurement contract for a Taranaki LNG site by mid-year, and hoping to have it running by late next year or early 2028. An electricity levy of two to four dollars per megawatt-hour will fund the build, which is expected to save each household around $50 a year when up and running. Rewiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey told Kerre Woodham that while he likes to think of himself as a renewable energy advocate, he's also a pragmatic person. He says that the dry year problem has to be solved, but we should use the fuel we already have and import, instead of importing a new, incredibly expensive fuel, at a capital cost that would lock us into using it for a very long time.

When prepping for the apocalypse, you'll want to think beyond the basics. Consider stocking up on nutrient-dense superfoods like chia seeds and quinoa—they're compact, long-lasting, and packed with essential nutrients to keep you going. Don't forget about canned goods like beans and tuna—they're shelf-stable and provide a good source of protein. And let's not overlook the power of honey—it's not just a sweet treat but also has antibacterial properties and lasts indefinitely. Dried fruits and nuts are another must-have—they're a tasty, energy-boosting snack that won't spoil quickly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Interview with Rudi Deysel, Board MD & CEO OF West Wits MiningOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/west-wits-mining-asxwwi-gold-producer-doubles-npv-to-500m-with-81-irr-in-updated-dfs-7533Recording date: 30th October 2025West Wits Mining (ASX:WWI) has successfully transitioned from project developer to gold producer, achieving a significant milestone on October 14, 2025, with its first underground ore production in South Africa's renowned Witwatersrand Basin. Managing Director and CEO Rudi Deysel confirmed that following a three-month mobilization period beginning in July, the company completed its first physical blast and ore transport from the mine.The project's unique structure allows for simultaneous development and production, facilitated by previous early works that established an operational footprint. "We actually produced our first ore around the 14th of October. So that was the first physical blast and first transport of ore out of the mine," Deysel stated. Stockpiles are being transported to Sibanye Stillwater's Ezulwini processing plant under tolling arrangements, enabling the company to generate revenue while advancing development.Early results have exceeded expectations, with production tracking marginally above resource model forecasts. Ground conditions have proven excellent, with fresh rock and strong stability allowing rapid advancement of the one-east and one-west temporary declines. Drilling and blasting cycle times are completing within single shifts, with the operation progressing toward multi-blast approvals that could double production capacity at working faces.West Wits has implemented modern hydropower technology over traditional compressed air systems common in older South African mines, delivering significant power savings by eliminating compression losses and leakage issues. The company has also deployed digital infrastructure including volume scanning, electronic sampling systems, and real-time vibration monitoring.The project remains fully funded through to steady-state production of 70,000 ounces annually, with an eight-to-nine-month payback period at current gold prices. Management maintains a disciplined focus on establishing sustainable mining practices and quality standards during this critical ramp-up phase, while pursuing a longer-term growth target of 200,000 ounces per annum within three years. "Once you prove yourself as a good operator and you deliver what you promised then you really get financial partners that support you," Deysel emphasized.View West Wits Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/west-wits-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

HEADLINE: US Response to China's Rare Earth Threat and Stockpiling GUEST NAMES: Victoria Coates, Gordon Chang SUMMARY: China injected the rare earths threat into trade talks, a serious move given they supply 70% of US needs and US stockpiles are low. President Trump responded with 100% tariffs but later sought an off-ramp. Experts stress the urgent need for the US to develop a domestic supply and a national stockpile, similar to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, to counter future Chinese blackmail. 1942

0:00 - Looking at the upcoming schedule for the Avalanche...they can win a lot of games right now. The rest of October isn't that difficult. They need to stockpile points while they can, especially since (almost) the entire roster is healthy and firing on all cylinders. Strike while the iron's hot, boys.14:37 - Right now, the top teams in the AFC are the Colts, Steelers, Chargers, Patriots. Anyone have that in their preseason predictions? How did those teams factor in to all the early power rankings?32:12 - The more we go down the power rankings rabbit hole, the more we figured something out: No one can agree on the pecking order of teams in the NFL. So far, this season has been beautifully chaotic. You love to see it.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on Iran's uranium stockpile

Most preppers believe they have their food storage dialed in—beans, rice, canned goods, and long-term freeze-dried meals filling their pantries and storage rooms. But even the most dedicated preparedness enthusiasts could be missing a critical nutritional component that could undermine their entire survival strategy. While you've mastered the art of storing carbohydrates and proteins, there's a fundamental gap in your food storage that could leave you malnourished and weakened when you need to be at your strongest. True preparedness isn't just about calories—it's about complete nutrition that sustains optimal health during extended emergencies. In this prepper podcast episode, Todd reveals why fats represent one of the most challenging yet crucial elements of comprehensive food storage planning. You'll discover the specific nutritional roles that fats play in vitamin absorption, immune function, and energy production—knowledge that separates serious preppers from those merely stockpiling food. This isn't about adding a few bottles of cooking oil to your pantry; it's about understanding the complex storage challenges, shelf-life limitations, and strategic alternatives that ensure your food storage truly supports long-term survival. From unconventional fat sources you've never considered to homestead-based solutions for sustainable nutrition, this episode addresses the sophisticated nutritional planning that defines advanced preparedness. Whether you're facing a short-term supply chain disruption or preparing for extended grid-down scenarios, the strategies covered in this episode are fundamental to maintaining health and strength when your stockpile becomes your lifeline. These aren't theoretical concepts—they're practical solutions for the nutritional challenges that could determine whether your food storage sustains you or leaves you vulnerable when it matters most.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:    First—an Israeli intelligence assessment has reportedly concluded that some of Iran's underground stockpile of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium survived last month's bombing campaign by the US. We'll have the details. Later in the show—President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu both say they are “very close” to securing a ceasefire in Gaza, as Hamas tentatively agrees to release 10 hostages as part of the talks. But key sticking points remain, and Israeli officials caution there's no guarantee of a breakthrough. Plus—the UK and France agree to a first-ever nuclear weapons pact, which would see Europe's only two nuclear powers coordinate their atomic arsenals if the continent is threatened. In our 'Back of the Brief—an Iranian fundraiser to kill Donald Trump has reportedly raised more than $40 million dollars following a fatwa issued by Iranian clerics calling for the president's death.

Tariffs, fear, and stockpiling—oh my! Don and Tom break down how consumer sentiment, not just consumer spending, is shifting dramatically under the weight of tariff uncertainty. They connect behavioral shifts—like Googling “recession” and panic-buying tires—to bigger economic signals and what it all means for investors.
