The Trump Effect: Japanese and Chinese High-tech Delegations Cancel Visits to Israel

The Trump effect: not only in the form of rockets from Gaza, but now also a hit to the local economy, as high-tech delegations from Japan and China cancel their trips to Israel following U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

The Chinese delegation cited a travel warning by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, forbidding large groups from traveling to Israel. Japan is concerned about the security situation following Trump's announcement, and expects the conflict to impact its investment programs in Israel.

On Saturday morning, a number of Israeli Start-Ups were notified that Shen Haiyin, CEO and founder of the Chinese company Sigulato currently developing a miniature electric car, had cancelled his visit just 6 hours before his flight. Shen was supposed to arrive for a series of meetings with Israeli high-tech companies.

The situation is expected to worsen, as cancellations are not limited only to China. TheMarker was also notified that the Japanese company Toyota's investment fund also cancelled its trip to Israel, which had been scheduled for Sunday.

1. I hope Israel finally feels the pinch from it's decades of lawlessness.

They could have resolved this years ago, but they don't want 2 states, they want all the land for themselves. They want a slave sub-section who works for nothing and does their shit work and get no vote and have no freedom. That's what Israel wants and now drumpf wants it too due to zionist Jared. I hope their investments totally dry up and maybe they will have a regime change and get little murderer and his ilk out and stop stealing the Palestinian land.

2. "due to zionist Jared"

Hmmm...

3. Yep, it's official.

A "fund" Jared controls has been caught funding illegal Jewish settlements on Palestinian land.

6. Iran now has an overland route to the Golan Heights.

I think everyone should be worrying about the ME right now. Especially with the fuse lit by Dump.

7. Whoops!

They probably expected all the in-roads they made to Arab nations go to hell and were willing to pay the piper on it. But they probably didn't expect the shit hit the fan farther abroad. Funny how oppressing your own kindred can resonate so negatively. Be careful for what you ask for....

8. Israel is going to become more and more isolated by the world.

Americans keep forgetting that there's a whole world of other countries out there, and their thoughts/opinions matter as well. The next step may be economic isolation of Israel like the world did with South Africa.
