To be clear, this is an op-ed, published on newsweak.
Oddly, a quick web search reveals that they have been regularly publishing pieces critical and negative of chyna.
And, ironically, newsweak is now ranked ‘right-center’ of media bias.
What happened?
There is not enough demand anywhere in the world to replace what the US buys from China.
Manufacturing and their experimental capitalism allowed China to do the one thing that communism and central planning had not: feed all the rural poor and start to create a middle class.
Cycles repeat. FAFO, Chairman Xi.
He is right. For all the knashing of teeth, China needs us far more than we need them. Everyone assumes it is the other way around.
China’s whole economy is shipping stuff to the US. No one can fill even 1/3 of that void. The longer they try to save face, the more pain they will endure.
Trump is going to revoke the Student Visa’s next. This is going to get real fun. When the affulent Chicom’s can’t send their children to college to pop anchor babies, China will emplode.
Trump has to decide if Xi is worth keeping in charge of China. Right now things are dicy in Chicom land with the Red leadership. Purges are about to happen.
Once everyone angling for higher office has pulled the trigger in China, someone is gonna be out of a job. If that is Xi which is highly likely, then the next man up will need to resolve US trade relations immediatley or suffer a second round of musical Chi-com-airs.
