Observer | 16 Business Leaders to Join Trump on High-Stakes China Trip, With Notable Absences by Rachel Curry
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
President Donald Trump is set to travel to Beijing for a two‑day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, accompanied by a delegation of 16 top U.S. executives from technology, finance and manufacturing, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, BlackRock’s Larry Fink and CEOs of Qualcomm, Micron, Boeing, Goldman Sachs and others. The visit comes amid heightened U.S.–China tensions over trade, AI, semiconductor exports, Taiwan, fentanyl trafficking and the broader geopolitical fallout of the Iran war, and signals the growing role of corporate America in diplomatic negotiations as firms seek to secure supply‑chain stability and market access. Notable absences were Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Cisco’s Chuck Robbins, while the delegation is expected to discuss potential new “boards of investment” and “boards of trade” and address specific corporate interests such as Tesla’s approval for its full‑self‑driving technology and Boeing’s pursuit of a major Chinese aircraft order.

So, this is a timely topic! From the latest issue of #InTheseTimes! The connection between Amazon Deforestation and CEO land grabs in the Western United States -- bought with blood money!
Fortress Yellowstone
The #UltraRich are fortifying themselves inside one of America’s last intact #ecosystems—with money plundered from ecological #SacrificeZones around the world
by Joseph Bullington, April 6, 2026
Excerpt: "Some of these ultra-rich ranch owners celebrate the natural beauty of their land and are ardent conservationists when it comes to the Yellowstone ecosystem. In digging into their business dealings, however, I found that most of these landowners accumulated their wealth through industries that help drive the destruction of nature elsewhere. Their ranks include private equity investors, oil and gas billionaires and real estate developers. "[...]
"Now, instead of forests full of fruits and animals and mandioca clearings, industrial soy plantations press in on #Açaizal like a closing fist. There is no escape from the onslaught of #monoculture. Manoel shows me where rows of broken cornstalks run right up against the edge of the community’s soccer field, which the soy farmers also want to plow. The soybeans and corn, like those in the United States, are genetically engineered to withstand the #herbicides and #pesticides the farmers dump on them to beat back weeds and pests, but the chemicals drift, says Manoel, making it impossible to grow fruits and vegetables and #mandioca nearby. The streams run low and full of poison."

CW: Victory for indigenous people in Brazil! Amazonas waterways won't be privatized
This is HUGE! :ecoanarchism_heart:
The Brazilian government said Monday it would revoke a decree signed by leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva that allowed private concessions for waterways, following 33 days of protests by thousands of Indigenous people at a Cargill facility in Santarem in northern Brazil.

Die Rohstoffe für "Lebensmittel" kommen zu 80 Prozent von wenigen gigantischen Global Playern wie etwa #Cargill , die ihren Lieferanten schlechte Arbeitsbedingungen abverlangen und die Preise diktieren. Eine menschenwürdige Existenz ist den meisten Landwirten nicht möglich. In "moderner" Leibeigenschaft schuften Milliarden Kleinbauern dafür, dass sich Menschen in Überflussländern die Bäuche vollschlagen können.

I believe we discussed mass avian euthanasia here before, in the context of large poultry facilities stricken with HPAI, and how megacorps (e.g. #Cargill in the US at least) get away with doing it the worst way possible. They lobby hard to avoid the extra expense of doing it right and prefer, instead, to shut down ventilation until the birds die from heat and rising CO2, which takes hours. Well, there are humane alternatives and one of them is the use of nitrogen foam. This is a private link video which demonstrates how this works. No, it doesn't show birds dying, it's the CEO of the company doing it to herself using room air instead of nitrogen to clarify how this works and why it's humane. BTW, do you know what brands Cargill owns? It may surprise you (Nutrena and Purina are among them). Tell them what you think.

#USA #Boykottkritik #globalerHandel #Cargill
Lese die letzten Tage immer wieder Postings zu einem Boykott von US Produkten. Kommentare unter solchen Postings nennen dann verschiedene einzelne Lebensmittel oder Marken. Viele finden solche Boykotte gut.
Ich lese das und denke nur: Haben die Leute während der Entwicklung von globalem verflechtetem Handel geschlafen?
Als mittlerweile 10 Jahre lange Veganerin musste ich damals lernen, dass man, will man die Fleischindustrie bekämpfen, viel globaler und breiter denken muss, als nur in kleinen Strukturen.
Das selbe gilt für Produkte aus den USA. Ihr wisst gar nicht, was ihr alles boykottieren müsstet, um die großen US-Konzerne zu boykottieren. In einer global Handel treibenden Welt ist das quasi ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit.
Ein Beispiel ist der Mega-Konzern Cargill. In der veganen Aktivenszene ist der Konzern bekannt als einer der größten Futtermittelhersteller der Welt. Aber der Konzern produziert nicht nur Futtermittel, sondern darüber hinaus noch zig andere Lebensmittel, wie Öle und vieles mehr.
Im Wiki-Artikel dazu kann man das gut nachlesen:
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CargillIm Prinzip müssten dann die Boykott-Befürworter nur noch Produkte konsumieren, die originär von EU-Konzernen kommen und auch keine Zuliefererprodukte aus den US nutzen. 🤷♀️

Will palm oil watchdog RSPO rid itself of deforestation or continue to pretend its products are sustainable? – EIA
Palm oil produced through the destruction of forestland is still being sold around the world with the blessing of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
Media release: Environmental Investigation Agency, published 30th November, 2022.‘#Palmoil being produced through #deforestation is still being sold globally with the blessing of the @RSPOtweets as being “sustainable”. ~ @EIA_news. Fight back with your wallet and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife
Tweet@RSPOtweets lets #palmoil co’s that clear #rainforest to be certified “sustainable”. Their #ecocide cannot replace rare animals, plants and #indigenous peoples now gone. – @EIA_news. #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife
TweetMedia release via Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA). Published November 30, 2022. Read the original.
The watchdog’s routine practices mean that palm oil bearing its stamp of approval to assure consumers it is sustainably produced cannot be considered deforestation-free, as a new EU law will require.
On November 30, 2022 EIA and along with 99 other organisations issued a joint statement calling time on the RSPO and its habitual greenwashing – the act of giving the public or investors misleading or false information about the environmental impacts of a company’s products and activities.
Download thisThe RSPO – the world’s leading voluntary certification scheme for supposedly sustainable palm oil – is holding its annual meeting in Kuala Lumpur this week and it is anticipated there will a significant focus on the upcoming EU deforestation regulation.
The EU is in the process of bringing in a new law that will mean palm oil and other commodities placed on the EU market must be deforestation-free and legal.
Europe is the biggest market for RSPO-certified palm oil, with 93 per cent of imports bearing the organisation’s stamp of approval, so what happens in the EU is of significance to the RSPO and its future.
The RSPO is currently revising its standards, called its Principles and Criteria (P&C), a process it undertakes every five years. In its last P&C revision in 2018, the RSPO adopted a new ‘no deforestation’ standard.
However, this standard falls far short of ensuring supply chains do not result in forest clearance, as the new EU regulation will require.
Key problems with the RSPO’s current ‘no deforestation’ standard
The certified destruction of forests
The RSPO currently allows companies which clear forests to become certified. Companies that do so must simply “compensate” for the loss – either by conserving an equivalent or larger area elsewhere or paying to do so.
This so-called compensation cannot replace the forests that were lost; the animals and plants that lived in that forest are gone, as are the people who might have depended on that forest for their homes and livelihoods.
There was much controversy recently when the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) – the main voluntary certification scheme for timber – changed its cut-off date rules to allow logging companies that have cleared forests after 1994, but not before 2020, to be certified, when they were not allowed to before.
Yet it seems to have gone unnoticed that the RSPO has always allowed this, including for forests cleared beyond 2020. While the RSPO does not allow deforestation after November 2018 on paper, if a company “mistakenly” clears forests or joins the RSPO at a later date, it can simply “compensate” for any forest lost instead.
One of the worst examples of this is PT Bio Inti Agrindo, a palm oil company in Papua, Indonesia, which was RSPO-certified in September 2021. Prior to joining the RSPO, it had been strongly criticised for years for clearing more than 20,000 hectares of pristine rainforest.
Shockingly, the compensation decided on by the RSPO is mainly for the company to support existing neighbouring protected forests, which hardly compensates for the rampant deforestation the company caused.

The new EU deforestation will require companies supplying the EU market to have not cleared forests after a specific cut-off date – proposed to be 31 December 2020 by the European Commission.
Given the RSPO currently allows companies which have cleared forests to continue to be certified, meeting RSPO requirements will not guarantee meeting the upcoming EU rules.
The price of unsustainable palm oil – deforestation and the end of tradition livelihoods
Mixing of uncertified palm oil from deforestation
Another big problem with the RSPO is that it allows uncertified palm oil that comes from deforestation to be mixed with certified palm oil.
This is known as the Mass Balance model and the practice means that RSPO supply chains are tainted and allows companies sourcing from concessions that are responsible for deforestation to promote themselves as “sustainable” or RSPO-certified. This includes RSPO-certified mills being allowed to source uncertified palm oil produced from deforestation.
Last year, companies which are the members of the RSPO adopted a resolution calling for the organisation to strengthen and revise the Mass Balance system in recognition of the problems it is causing the RSPO’s credibility.
Given that the new EU deforestation regulation will require all sources of palm oil in the supply chain to be deforestation-free, RSPO certification cannot guarantee this either, given its wide use of the Mass Balance model.
“It remains to be seen whether the RSPO will act for a change and address the deforestation and other problems in its system or continue to paper over the cracks and pretend its palm oil is sustainable.”
~ EIA Forests Campaigner Siobhan Pearce
Will the RSPO act or is its time up?
However, given the US ban and significant press coverage of human rights abuse on Sime Darby palm plantations, these imports demonstrate a willful disregard for the protection of human life.
The new EU deforestation regulation and the revision of the P&C is a critical time for the RSPO. It has, and continues to face, a multitude of problems that to date it has been slow to act on.
These range from poor assurance that its standards are actually adhered to, as we have exposed, and failing to uphold complaints to its members being mired in accusations of forced labour.
Given the RSPO’s track record of inadequately dealing with serious issues in its system, there is significant doubt it will do so now.
EIA Forests Campaigner Siobhan Pearce said: “It remains to be seen whether the RSPO will act for a change and address the deforestation and other problems in its system or continue to paper over the cracks and pretend its palm oil is sustainable.”

Land-grabbing and Climate Crisis Linked to Palm Oil
A corporate monopoly for control over land and resources for palm oil must be dismantled immediately to give humanity, animals and our natural world a fighting chance for survival and to reverse the climate crisis. In Asia, many indigenous peoples are now joining forces and rising up to resist this corruption and ecocide. Help them to fight back and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Share to BlueSky Share to TwitterOriginally written by Arnold Padilla for Bulatlat.com as ‘Land Monopoly and Climate Crisis: A Look at Asia’. Read the original article. Published November 17, 2022. Arnold Padilla is the coordinator of the Food Sovereignty Program of PAN Asia Pacific (PANAP) and its “No Land, No Life” campaign against land grabbing.
Some closely following the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) say that the 27th session of its Conference of the Parties (COP27) puts more attention on food and agriculture than in previous years.
For instance, the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES) noted that the climate gathering in Egypt features four pavilions and about 200 events on food and farming. But these are still outside official negotiations, where states do the actual policymaking and commitments.
No meaningful focus at COP27 on accountability of industrial farming
It is apparent in the discussions that matter in the COP process that there is no meaningful focus on the role and accountability of corporate farming in warming the planet.
The industrial food system (i.e., agriculture and land use/land-use change activities plus supply chain activities like retail, transport, consumption, fuel production, waste management, industrial processes and packaging) contributes about 34% to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with an estimated environmental cost of US$ 3 trillion annually.
Yet, addressing and reversing the climate impacts of corporate farming through radical food systems transformation is not a priority among the COP27 negotiators.
6 out of 10 of the worst affected countries for climate change are in Asia
- For Asia, the urgency of the climate crisis cannot be overemphasised. Six of the ten worst affected countries by climate change in the past two decades are in Asia (i.e., Myanmar, Philippines, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, and Nepal).
- This year alone, heavy monsoon rains caused unprecedented flooding in Pakistan, affecting 33 million people and inflicting over US$ 30 billion in damages and economic losses.
- Consecutive typhoons – Noru and Nalgae – hit the Philippines in the two months leading to COP27.
- These disasters affected more than four million people, displaced more than 241,000, left more than 150 dead, and caused more than US$50 million in damages to agriculture alone.
Land monopoly: an indispensable requirement of corporate farming
Land monopoly, an indispensable requirement of corporate farming, creates favorable conditions for the climate crisis to persist and worsen. Corporate monoculture plantations, one of the most visible expressions of land monopoly since colonial times, are among the significant contributors to the existential crisis that the world faces today.
Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO): 90% of global deforestation is driven by agriculture
Big agribusiness firms are cutting down massive swathes of forests for conversion into industrial plantations and livestock grazing. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that agricultural expansion drove almost 90 percent of global deforestation in the past two decades.
In Asia, nearly 80 percent of deforestation during the same period is due to conversion into croplands, mainly by corporate plantations, based on the UN body’s study.
Independent studies affirm this, such as the data compiled and analysed by the Land Matrix (a collaboration of civil society, farmers’ groups, and academic research institutions) on large-scale land acquisitions.
These refer to lands in low and middle-income countries acquired by foreign and local investors through purchase, lease or concession for agricultural production, timber extraction, carbon trading, industry, renewable energy production, conservation, and tourism. Their 2021 report noted that 964 land deals caused the deforestation of almost two million hectares between 2000 and 2019.
In East Asia and the Pacific, the Land Matrix reported that about 74 percent of the areas around the locations of land deals were still forested in 2000. By 2019, that number declined to 58 percent, mainly due to oil palm expansions in Malaysia and Indonesia and new agricultural frontiers in Cambodia, China, Laos, and Vietnam.
Clearing forests releases CO2 and contributes to rising temperatures
Clearing the forests releases the carbon dioxide (CO2) they store into the atmosphere, contributing to rising global temperatures.
According to one study, deforestation – which has already claimed 420 million hectares of forests in the last 30 years – can also affect temperatures through its effect on various physical processes of nature. For example, cutting down trees eliminates the forests’ ability to absorb water from the soil and release it into the air as moisture and cool the atmosphere.
Perpetuating plunder
At COP27, the world’s largest transnational food companies led by Cargill, Bunge, and Archer Daniels Midland, among others, launched a roadmap to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains for soy, beef, and palm oil by 2025.
However, these companies, which have already made similar pledges in the past only to fall short, continue to be implicated in the massive destruction of forests, like Cargill in the Amazon.

One of the supposed climate solutions that big corporations tend to rally around is planting “new forests”.
However, the problem is that these large-scale tree-planting efforts are often a pretext to promote corporate plantations.
Based on another estimate, 45% of oil palm plantations were built in forest areas in Southeast Asia, considered the global hotspot of palm-driven deforestation.
Wilmar responsible for palm oil deforestation despite supposedly using “sustainable” palm oil.Palm oil is considered the fastest-growing commodity crop worldwide, requiring an ever-expanding mass of arable lands and forests. FAO data shows that the size of land devoted to oil palm plantations in the past four decades ballooned by more than 571 percent – from 4.28 million hectares in 1980 to 28.74 million in 2020.
Climate justice vs. land monopoly
Corporate plantations – motivated by profits for their investors that include the world’s wealthiest people and largest investment firms from mostly the industrialised countries – produce commodities dictated by the global market’s needs, not by the food security requirements and overall development agenda of mostly the underdeveloped countries and local communities where they are built often in violent ways. These big capitalists and finance oligarchs are oblivious to their operations’ harsh socioeconomic and environmental impacts.
Aside from degrading or destroying the forests to establish monoculture, export-oriented industrial farms, corporate land monopolies also perpetuate the use of massive amounts of climate-warming fossil fuels by promoting harmful agrochemicals like synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and encouraging long supply chains. It is not a coincidence that as corporate plantations, agrochemicals such as pesticides have also soared by 80 percent in the past three decades.
Agroecological, localised, and diversified food systems offer sustainable and climate-friendly alternatives, as much evidence suggests, but ultimately, decisions on how to use and manage the world’s forests and farmlands for the benefit of the greatest majority without harming the people and planet rest on the question of who effectively controls these resources.
From colonialism to modern imperialism today, such control has been taken away from the indigenous and peasant communities, grabbed and monopolised by and for commercial interests.
The people rising for climate justice necessitates the struggle to dismantle this corporate monopoly control over land and resources and give humanity a fighting chance to survive and reverse the climate crisis.
