Amusing pitch from an EUnuch making a pitch for turning the EU into a province of China in all but name.
Oil prices will rise.
Maybe the CCP expects President Trump to use the defaulted Chinese Railway Bonds ($1.6 T) to repay PRC’s hildings of U.S. Treasury debt (about $1.2 T). Would the CCP have any dollars after that happens?
Lol. Commies. They do all sorts of stupid shyt. Starting with their political system. It’s all downhill from there.
China is in big trouble. They have a conflict on every border. They have crop failure. They have very scarce reserve resources.
The US is actively moving corporate supply chains back to the US. US Gov’t is scrutinizing every purchase to evaluate Chinese input on each product screening for security vulnerabilities.
Their people are pissed. Capital is leaving China at an astonishing rate.
They COULD risk war, but I tend to think they are at bigger risk of FAMINE, and after that, revolution.
No mention of the Three Gorges Dam getting ready to implode??
One reason may be that they believed the Three Gorges Dam was going to collapse. But I don’t put too much stock in that guess.
Maybe.
But the last time we pushed an Asian power to the brink, we got Pearl Harbor.
The theory being that the world’s largest consumer of commodities, China, can control the long-term prices they pay by buying up massive future contracts now and then living off their stockpiles until the future current price of this or that commodity is forced down by market forces.
Nobody is blockading China.
All that is happening now is that we are forcing them to compete on the same terms every other country is.
A blockade is a causis belli. No doubt.
They aren’t going to go to war declaring, “The US no longer allows us to steal their technology, impose unbalanced, unanswered tariffs, and then dump our products into their markets.”
The Daily Con.
RE: No mention of the Three Gorges Dam getting ready to implode??
I’ve always thought that was wishful thinking. The torrential rains have subsided, so that’s the end of that.
RE: China is in big trouble. They have a conflict on every border.
Haven’t they settled their border dispute with Russia?
The Russians (and their CSTO (SOVIET) allies) are also stockpiling furiously. North Korea and Iran are suspiciously silent right now as well.
Trump’s re-election?
Yes, especially as Russia holds on to more of its own oil for military purposes. Same for commodities.
Russia "absorbed" Belarus without a shot fired, and now is about to try to reabsorb Ukraine using similar tactics.
Not exactly. Not regionally. Folks on either side of that border do not get along.
China is in big trouble. The US is actively moving corporate supply chains back to the US. The US Gov’t is
scrutinizing every purchase to evaluate Chinese input on each product screening for security vulnerabilities.
