All commie polities are parasitical. Sooner or later the host rebels or dies. Democrats were openly pushing for death of the free market/capitalist gov’mts. Now, that is receiving pushback.
Even Communists are bound by the incontrovertible rules of economics. There is a supply/demand ratio that has to remain within a certain range to be sustainable, predatory pricing of goods and services creates its own countervailing action, and good will in the economic sphere, though apparently intangible, is a very real force. The CCP has violated every one of these precepts, and now stands to pay the price.
This is a complete transition from a cheap goods addiction to self sufficiency like this country has never seen.
This is also why we need a strengthened military. No one can threaten us to change course.
