But China intends to switch over the new industrial machine into a war economy.
What has gone unreported is how they have very blatantly kept control over the labor force, and the industrial planning...and done things which the Western "partners" (actually dupes) ...thought were simple graft or political inefficiencies. But were instead intended from the very beginning to make sure that the new plants could convert to dual use relatively smoothly.
If they can, in the run-up to that eventual switch-over, bankrupt their principal adversay, the U.S., or at least put all of the West into the equivalent of oversupply-glut-induced Great Depression...so much the better.
The U.S. trade gurus won't know what hit them.
The predators won't turn on each other until the carcass of the American Middle Class is picked clean.
