China is piling up unprecedented quantities of food, inflating prices and dropping more countries into famine: 69% of world’s maize reserves, 60% of its rice and 51% of its wheat

Russia doesn’t have the capacity and even if they did they won’t prioritize them over Europe.

That said. China is perfectly willing to simply turn off its economy for a time to prosecute a war.

Why would they want to destroy the global economy? By doing so it would destroy their economy and their currency. They not only hold our tbills but most other countries as well because everyone has a trade deficit with them.

They want to be the world’s superpower and theor currency as the worlds standard.
They are stockpiling up as all nation’s should be doing.

How? From where? The middle east is the only place that can supply China. The US will frankly easily shut down all Chinese trade.

Will that save Taiwan? Probably not but it’ll cripple them badly for a long time

Sorry but you have no idea what you are suggesting.

The scope of which we DEPEND on Chinese products is staggering.

One more shut down of “non-essential” businesses for a couple months and the world will be left in peril just for basic necessities.

Our withdraw from Chinese dependency will have to be gradual. That is a simple fact.

Chinese purchases of US grain fell 5% in 2021

Would that include the grain from the US farms they have purchased?

Right. They have long had plans to take over much of the world. The have infiltrated the USA in every corner from within. And even our army is of no use if it is controlled by the enemy.

Am I missing something?

My first thought is China will poison the food supplies in the United States.

There was a thriller novel (can’t remember the name) by a minor author and the precious wheat supply was destroyed by introduction of an agent that made the wheat shrivel up all over the US during growing season. But Russians had a genuine famine from wheat problems due to weather, so a worldwide loss of millions of lives took place.

War preparations?>>>>>>>>>\

My thought was the same. Its what the Chinese do before going to war, and they have done so for thousands of years.

The Communist Chinese government learned when dealing with President Trump that their demand for food far outweighed the U.S. demand for manufactured goods.

Has anyone pointed out yet that the claims of this article are non-sense?

What are you going on about? I didn’t say anything about the effects of shutting down Chinese trade...just the fact that we can.

The discussion is a possible motive to Chinese actions, one of which is war with us. Yes that would hurt us, duh. But that doesn’t dictate what we would have to do to win.

And to be fair, it would be worth it. 90% of our trade with the commies is crap we can get elsewhere while the important 10% we should be making ourselves anyway. Long term coexistence with the communists is a pipe dream, better they die sooner then later when they’re even stronger.
