CHINA'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY Near-Term Remains Doubtful As Causal Role of Tianjin Port Disaster Ignored by Auto Industry and Wall Street"We project that market volatility will continue for months as it tries to adjust \to the

black hole effect of a arguably permanent contraction of the China economy. Moreover, there is no expectation of the Dow's sustainable recovery to pre-Tianjin

levels in the foreseeable future. Although the expected US interest rate hike and active market stabilizing interventions - inclusive of China's predatory US treasury bond sell-offs in its continuing efforts to supplant the dollar as the dominant currency - will have

a tactical effect, volatility will be a constant. "

- Myron D. Stokes, Automotive/Aerospace Analyst (9/2/15)

May 1, 2016 Bloomfield Hills, MI - "As was noted in our 8/19/15 Harvard Business Review analysis , the destruction and sodium cyanide contamination of this port wiped out 58pct of China's export/import capacity, shut down the production lines of major carmakers like Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, VW and Renault; injured or killed dozens of corporate/port support personnel, killed thousands of fish in the Haihe River, and destroyed thousands of vehicles including Land Rover and Hyundai Equus luxury models.

"The impact of this disaster is still being assessed in terms of the near, mid and long term, but what should be clear is the ripple effect to the global supply chain and more disturbingly, to China's industrio-economic growth, remains profound. In fact, the impact is so massive - exacerbated by 2 subsequent and major explosions at chemical plants in critical Shandong - we remain convinced in the viability of our original assessment the disasters were not accidental.

"What continues to confound, astound and disturb our analytical team is - with few exceptions like Morgan-Stanley - Wall Street, GM, Ford, the auto industry at large and the world's major firms continue to ignore the true impact represented by Tianjin on their operations, profitability and thus, their market value.

"We project that market volatility will continue for months as it tries to adjust to the black hole effect of a arguably permanent contraction of the China economy. Moreover, there is no expectation of the Dow's sustainable recovery to pre-Tianjin levels in the foreseeable future. Although the expected US interest rate hike and active market stabilizing interventions - inclusive of China's predatory US treasury bond sell-offs in its continuing efforts to supplant the dollar as the dominant currency - will have a tactical effect, volatility will be a constant.

"Perhaps, the comprehensive client analysis provided by the Emergency Response team of London-based legacy Maritime law and reinsurance firm Holman Fenwick Willan as the disaster unfolded, will be considered required reading by C-suite and financial sector executives..."

"At the start of the nineteenth century, the Holman family were sailing-ship owners in Topsham, Devon, where, in 1832, they established the West of England Marine Insurance Association, a mutual hull insurance organisation. Six years later they formed The Exeter Shipping Insurance Association on a similar basis."

August 2015 Analysis Excerpt: Supply chain disruption

"Motorola, Toyota, Samsung, Nestlé, Honeywell, Coca-Cola, Bridgestone, Lafarge and GlaxoSmithKline all have substantial facilities near to the explosion. 285 of the Fortune Global 500 companies are reported to have an office in Tianjin.

"Entire supply chains could be affected by the closure of industrial and processing facilities within the port. Some goods manufactured inland which would ordinarily go through the port for further processing or value-added services may need to be diverted elsewhere. Manufacturers which import components and/or raw materials into Tianjin may no longer be able to get access to them. This could cause very considerable loss of revenue and supply chain problems. Exporters may need to look to other ports as outlets for their goods and create new supply chain relationships with freight forwarders, road hauliers, shipping lines and logistics operators." http://www.hfw.com/downloads/HFW-Tianjin-Port-explosion-August-2015-1.pdf
