From the article: “ China is looking for an excuse to slow its production to put pressure on the Western world at a time …”

At a time Russian sanctions have caused havoc in world trade. The Russians have all they need, ( grain, food, NG, diesel, metals, commodities). They just signed a 20 year agreement for Russia to supply them food and grains….Vegetable Joe sealed our fate with weaponizing the dollar and sanctions. Vlads return sanctions on the west, cripples the west.
My bet, 1)China slows export to the US under the guise of a non lethal virus, avoiding a weaponized dollar and sanctions.
2) China slows/ tapers US supply as China/ Russia weaken us any way they can….war, metals shortages, energy shortages, food shortages,…
Either way it appears Vlad ( and Xi ) slowly and methodically say “ Checkmate”…..what is Vegetable head going to do?
“2) China slows/ tapers US supply as China/ Russia weaken us any way they can….war, metals shortages, energy shortages, food shortages,…”
Don’t forget Medical Shortages, since the majority of our meds are made in China and India.
