China gets big, fat contracts to rebuild? With whose money? The US? I don’t think US MIC would allow that. More than likely they’d force whomever’s administration (and Congress) that American money be spent with American contracts, certainly not China.
But then again, there’s China connected McTurtles in Congress, so who actually knows now?
