The Global Power Shift has begun – The East Has a plan has UK lost the plot?
As the West fumbles with political chaos, rising debt, and short-term thinking, the East powers ahead with vision and purpose. Countries like China, Malaysia, and the UAE are investing in infrastructure, education, and long-term strategy—while the UK seems stuck in a loop of tax hikes, red tape, and broken systems.
In this episode, I explore how global power is shifting fast—and why investors, entrepreneurs, and even families are looking East for opportunities, stability, and growth. What can you do to secure your financial future in this changing world? Has Britain lost the plot? Let’s find out.

China’s multi-billion dollar ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ project is linking three quarters of the world’s countries - 150 nations through Road and Maritime former silk routes.
Linking countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and more.
They are building it, not talking about it for 30 years like we do in the UK. Successive governments have been debating expanding London’s Heathrow Airport by one runway since the Beatles were together. Take That and Taylor Swift were not even born!
Rail links across Laos and Cambodia to China allow farmers to deliver produce to the vast Chinese market in 6 days. Trade has exploded in SE Asia from car manufacturing, industry to education and agriculture.

As China expands its influence, where do you think countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East will look to for its future? America or China? Who do they see as their friend when China is building trading links while America is ‘weaponizing’ the dollar and telling them what to do? Why are more countries applying to join BRICS?
Chinese overtook the US as Africa’s largest trading partner in 2009. The West (Europe and America) has been asleep at the wheel for decades.
UK previously had strong links with African nations, (many of whom were given Independence after the Second World War as the empire declined), through the commonwealth. But with all due respect to the Royal Family, wheeling out the Queen to wave at the crowds every few years is not enough.
China is running rings around the west. Unlike western democracies who can only plan as far as the next election, China has a long term vision and strategy.
Look what’s happening in the Middle East in countries like Dubai, Qatar and Saudi which are all embarking on massive multibillion-dollar projects to reinvest their oil wealth for their future.
They also attracting the brightest and the best entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists and IT people, while the UK is taxing them out of existence.
New World Order? What do you think?
China and many other Southeast Asian countries have a plan. The Middle East has a plan.
What is the UK’s plan?
Tax and spend our money!
Tax and spend our savings!
Tax and spend our pensions! (Rachel Reeves is doing a Gordon Brown tax raid on pensions. He bankrupted Britain).
Tax business and landlords
Tax jobs and employment
Tax motorists
Tax parents who send their children to private schools!
The government is coming after YOUR money! They have already borrowed billions and can’t afford to fund their fantasy schemes.
Where is the big thinking and long term vision?
Where is the growth, green energy? Really?
While they lurch from one crisis to the next, smart people, educated professionals, businesses and entrepreneurs are leaving the UK to go where they are appreciated.
Have any of the top ministers ever run a large business? I wouldn’t trust them with a market stall?
What can you do?
As Warren Buffett said, financial education is the key to building wealth. It’s the stuff they don’t teach you in school.
Learn how to build and protect wealth.
Learn how to manage your money.
Learn how to invest in assets rather than losing money by lending it to the banks.
Learn about the invisible taxes like inflation which is eating up your savings.
Learn about Gold and Silver, the only real money.
Property
Stocks and Shares
