It’s the exact opposite. The ChiComs only react to things in their country when it is already a problem that can’t be fixed—the one child policy, for example, now being reversed in favor of 2 children, but it’s too little too late. Or look at the ghost cities—the world’s biggest debt bomb just waiting to explode.
The ChiComs routinely make decisions that screw up whatever they were trying to improve, only to embarrassingly reverse it later, or make a big show of fixing a problem they set into motion 10 years earlier.
Do not underestimate their extreme incompetence. They are NOT good at running a country. They ARE good at destroying human life and even the Earth itself, however, their own and ours too if they could.
So you're saying they're like democrats.
How long do beans and grains stay good if they are hoarding them?
stop manipulating the water situation in the cental valley California and this area is capable of feeding the world.... currently we have crony capitalist manipulating water supply in the California central Valley so the land can be taken over by corporate farmers
Not panic hoarding.
Not crazy.
They are preparing for war.
maybe we should do the same.
Yes. While I don’t trust China or our own government one bit, I also don’t just blindly trust articles like this either.
Maybe FauxXi and China will release a genetically engineered wheat virus next.
bkmk
Looks like the PRCs need a war...
Communism is a bankrupt economic system. Reagan understood that because Reagan understood economics better than most. He knew that behind the iron curtain was weakness and poverty - an empty shell - and he forced their hand to show just that.
China has a zillion people but they are still basically a bankrupt economy. Just need someone with the smarts like Reagan to show them up.
They are NOT good at running a country.
What they, and our own Progressives don't realize, is that no one is.
Which is odd, because there were Chinese philosophers who understood this, thousands of years ago.
The more prohibitions there are,
The poorer the people will be.
The more laws are promulgated,
The more thieves and bandits there will be.
Therefore a sage has said:
So long as I “do nothing” the people will of themselves be transformed.
So long as I love quietude, the people will of themselves go straight.
So long as I act only by inactivity the people will of themselves become prosperous.
Yes, Lao Tsu I believe. I saw that quote awhile back and have kept it in my head since then. There are others that say essentially the same thing even more blatantly.
Stop turning grain from food to ethanol! Remove the oxidizer requirement for gasoline. Turning the water back on for the California central valley, ie. ignoring the greenies, little fishies and tribal conflicting requests would also help some. However, I am concerned about fertilizer shortages. I don’t know if there are US sources that can be scaled up quickly enough to replace Russian and Ukrainian sources. Without fertilizer our ag won’t scale as well. And the Biden blighted transportation industry may impair getting any of our increases to hungry countries.
US also has enough calories stored in obesity to survive some famine if we are wise about it. Feed the thin, including non-obese growing kids and pregnant women. Underfeed the obese. Including cutting EBT payments and other ‘free’ government food to obese “poor” folks. Let the food prices follow the market so higher prices can reduce consumption. Block the inevitable Democrat demand for universal food rationing. Limit government food to those need tested as both thin enough and poor enough. For sufficiently poor fat folks limit support to enough food to keep their dieting healthy.
