China's central bank injects 150 bln yuan ($22.97 billion) through medium-term loans
China’s central bank injected medium-term loans into the banking system on Thursday, while keeping the interest rate unchanged for a whole year.
The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) said in an online statement it was keeping the rate on 150 billion yuan ($22.97 billion) worth of one-year medium-term lending facility (MLF) loans to some financial institutions steady at 2.95% from previous operations. The PBOC added the operation was a rollover of 100 billion yuan of maturing MLF loans due on Thursday, while also covering 56.1 billion yuan worth of targeted medium-term lending facility (TMLF) expiring later this month, according to the statement. The central bank also injected another 10 billion yuan worth of seven-day reverse repos into the banking system on the day, offseting same amount of such short-term liquidity tool due on Thursday.

‘Unofficial’ US delegation welcomed
The government yesterday welcomed an “unofficial” delegation sent by US President Joe Biden, while another delegation led by US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry was headed to Shanghai.
Biden’s first delegation to Taiwan is made up of former US senator Chris Dodd, and former US deputy secretaries of state Richard Armitage and James Steinberg. They are to stay in Taiwan until tomorrow.
Their arrival, on a chartered flight, had been kept confidential until media reported the visit yesterday morning, after which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a short notice that they were expected to arrive at 2:40pm.
The flight landed at about 3:05pm at Taipei International Airport (Songshan airport), where the delegation was received by Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu (吳釗燮), American Institute in Taiwan Director Brent Christensen and other officials. “We hope you enjoy your visit & look forward to working together to strengthen the #Taiwan #US partnership,” President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) wrote on Twitter.
Tsai is due to meet with the US officials at the Presidential Office in Taipei at 10am today and host a dinner with them at her official residence in the evening, Presidential Office spokesman Xavier Chang (張惇涵) said in a statement.
Dodd is known for his friendship with Biden and he was a crucial advocate of the US’ Taiwan Relations Act, which took effect in 1979, Chang said. Armitage and Steinberg served as deputy secretaries of state during the administrations of former US presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama respectively, he said, adding that they have visited Taiwan several times and have been friendly toward the nation. Over the past weeks, the ministry had been exchanging opinions with its Washington counterpart about the visit, ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou (歐江安) said, without saying when the plan was finalized.
Biden sending a heavyweight delegation to Taiwan less than three months since his inauguration — at a time when many important positions in his administration are not yet filled — shows Washington’s consistent support for Taiwan and “rock solid” bilateral ties, the ministry said in a news release.
The delegation is to meet with Tsai, Wu and Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) to discuss many critical issues related to bilateral ties, it said.
Meanwhile, Kerry was to arrive in Shanghai yesterday evening and is to stay until tomorrow. His visit marks the first to China by an official in the Biden administration.
Kerry is to travel to Seoul on Saturday, ahead of a US-hosted two-day virtual climate summit starting on Earth Day on Thursday next week. Asked about the planned agenda for the meeting between Chinese Special Envoy on Climate Change Xie Zhenhua (解振華) and Kerry, and whether Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) would accept Biden’s invitation to the summit, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian (趙立堅) on Tuesday said that no information could be offered at that time.

The Jesuit Sinking of the Titanic to Create the Federal Reserve Corp.
The Federal Reserve is no more ‘federal’ than Federal Express. It is a privately owned corporation established in 1913 to make money by printing money, at interest, for the U.S. Government and is under control of the Rothschild’s Bank of International Settlements (BIIS), located in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2012 it made $77 Billion in profits alone
Switzerland is home to the Rothschilds, the military that guards the Vatican, the secret bank accounts of the wealthy and a country who was never attacked or invaded during WWI or WWII. It’s flag is the same Red Cross, the same Knights of Templar cross Christopher Columbus flew on his journey to have never set foot in America, yet somehow historians report that he “discovered America”). Certain conspiracy theorists believe that there was a force behind the sinking of the Titanic. A Catholic order known as the Jesuits compelled to carry out Jesus’ work. In this instance, theorists believe that the establishment of the U.S. Federal Reserve was ushered into being. Those in belief of the theory speak of a group of Illuminati, enlightened individuals with a plan for a New World Order, in which it will be necessary to establish the Federal Reserve.
Many are unclear on what exactly the Federal Reserve is. Operated outside of the constraints of the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve has these responsibilities.
-
Conducting the nation’s monetary policy by influencing monetary and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.
-
Supervising and regulating banking institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the nation’s banking and financial system, and protect the credit rights of consumers.
-
Maintaining stability of the financial system and containing systemic risk that may arise in financial markets.
-
Providing financial services to depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign official institutions, including playing a major role in operating the nation’s payments system.
Theorists believe that this Jesuit establishment was created so that the order could loan money, shape the world landscape, and become one of the most powerful organizations in the world. Here’s how the Federal Reserve and the Titanic are connected. In 1910, seven men met on Jekyll island just off the coast of Georgia to plan the Federal Reserve Bank. Nelson Aldrich and Frank Vanderclip represented the Rockefeller (Illuminati) financial empire. Henry Davidson, Charles Norton and Benjamin Strong represented J.P. Morgan (Illuminati). Paul Warburg (Illuminati) represented the Rothschilds (Illuminati) Banking dynasty of Europe.

The Rothschilds were the banking agents for the Jesuits and hold `the key to the wealth of the Roman Catholic Church.’ Necessary to their plans, the Federal Reserve did have some opposition; those who saw what the future would become if banking was outside of the government’s hands, the rates set by a private company such as the Fed. All the wealthy and powerful men the Jesuits wanted to get rid of were invited to take the cruise. Three of the richest and most important of these were Benjamin Guggenheim, Isador Strauss, the head of Macy’s Department Stores, and John Jacob Astor, probably the wealthiest man in the world. Their total wealth, at that time, using dollar values of their day was more than 500 million dollars. Today that amount of money would be worth nearly eleven billion dollars. These three men were coaxed and encouraged to board the floating palace. They had to be destroyed because the Jesuits knew they would use their wealth and influence to oppose a Federal Reserve Bank as well as the various wars that were being planned.
It can also be mentioned that J.P. Morgan, the individual contracted to build the Titanic was scheduled to be on the maiden voyage, but canceled.
Supporters of the idea that the Titanic shipwreck was orchestrated carefully, a Jesuit tempore co-adjutor was picked to captain the ship, a man that would do anything for the order and God’s will; Captain Edward Smith. Quite possibly the most experienced captain of the time, Smith had navigated the waters of the Atlantic for 26 years, a master of the icy waters that the Titanic would be sailing. He was a Jesuit and worked for J.P. Morgan. As National Geographic stated in their 1986 documentary entitilted ‘The Secrets of the Titanic,’ “Anyone could be a Jesuit and their identity not be known.” When the ship departed southern England, on board was Father Francis Browne. He was the most powerful Jesuit in all of Ireland and the Jesuit Master of Edward Smith. Here is Jesuit treachery at its finest. The provincial Father Francis Browne boards the Titanic, photographs the victims, most assuredly briefs the Captain concerning his oath as a Jesuit, and the following morning bids him farewell. (Eric J. Phelps, Vatican Assassins Halcon Unified Services).
Theorists believe that the mysteries surrounding the sinking of the Titanic are simply too coincidental not to be premeditated. Smith, being a mater navigator of the Atlantic, allegedly sailed directly into iceberg territory, failing to heed the numerous warnings given by other ships to decrease speed, and tread carefully. The glancing blow to the side of the Titanic is also said to violate basic safety measurements associated with sailing. Danger is meant to be met head on to avoid exactly what happened to the Titanic.

Pandemic forces Suga to travel to US with reduced entourage
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will leave Thursday for his summit with U.S. President Joe Biden in Washington with neither cabinet members nor his wife in his entourage as both sides try to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infections.
The prime minister will depart from Haneda Airport on Japan's equivalent of Air Force One, with a delegation of about 80 people, 20% to 30% smaller than usual for a trip to the U.S. All have been vaccinated against the virus at Washington's request, including Suga, who received two doses ahead of the trip. The prime minister would typically bring other high-level officials on a visit of this magnitude, such as Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi. It is also rare for a Japanese leader to travel to the U.S. without the first lady, as the spouses of the two leaders customarily hold events of their own. With the number of new cases remaining sizeable in the U.S., and Tokyo under high alert, the two sides have opted for a relatively bare-bones visit without bells and whistles like previous Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's 2019 golf outing with then-President Donald Trump. The summit was delayed for a week to allow more time to prepare.
Officials had considered events such as a cherry-blossom viewing or a tree planting, but ultimately decided against them. Discussions are still ongoing as to whether to have the leaders dine together before or after the summit as usual. The U.S. side worries that chatting while eating poses a high risk of coronavirus transmission. Suga and Biden will announce the results of the meeting at a news conference, as well as issue a joint statement showcasing a unified stance on China. The document is expected to state that Tokyo and Washington will work together to address the threat posed by Beijing's growing assertiveness in the East and South China seas.
On climate change, a priority for Biden, the two leaders are poised to sign a separate partnership agreement that will call for providing support to developing economies to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. The trip will be Suga's first to the U.S. as prime minister, as well as Biden's first face-to-face visit with another world leader as president. "This will be an extremely meaningful trip for forging a stronger Japan-U.S. alliance," Suga said Tuesday.
