A lot of bad news out of China. Massive food problems, inflation, Evergrande about to go belly-up.

Maybe Xi needs to stir up some patriotism with some military maneuvers?

They were already short on food stocks. This is going to be a mess. If they take over Taiwan they will steal every grain of rice and the Taiwanese will starve to death.
I heard stories about the Japs doing the same thing to the Taiwanese people in WW2. My inlaws lived through it.

My first thought was Three Gorges Dam, but that’s on the Yangtze river, not the Yellow.

I bet Xi wishes he hadn’t pissed off the Australians now. He’ll have to go back hat in hand to buy coal from them after this.

Heaven’s mandate is that he suffers for releasing Covid.

If he wants to be environmentally friendly, he buys LNG from us or he can drop dead (which is also a friendly gesture).

Take the question mark off. He WILL do just that.

Hmmmmm?
And here I thought the only nations God is judging this time around are the USA, and Venezuela, and Afghanistan, and ....
Well, He is a very big God, and He does make the rounds.
In His time.
