What stick? They’ve already been selling UST and dollar reserves like crazy to prevent monetary flight out of China from the wealthy. Unless they are threatening war, they don’t have a stick. We import 5:1 compared to export to China.
And if they do threaten war, they don’t have the logistics capability to do anything outside their own borders.
CNN would be reduced to using vidoes made from Battlefield 2 to show the mighty Chinese army victorious in battle over evil running dog Americans.
>>>We import 5:1 compared to export to China>>>
Think about that. China has a Population of 1.375 Billion versus our Population of just 330 Million.
Almost five times the Market size yet we can only manage to crack 20% of their Exports to us.
Me thinks the game is rigged or we have all those $.99 Cent Stores to blame. I’m still waiting for a Domestic Company to manufacture the $.99 Cent Sunglasses I buy there.
Probably by proxy-threatening their neighbors, I’d say. And calling in debt, perhaps...?
