This is very big. China is going to respond to this. This women and lots of chinese money is going to leave the US. And maybe it should. But lots of Chinese are going to be worried their money here will be confiscated. Last night, after this story, but while China was open and we weren’t, the S&P futures lost 35 points when nobody was trading. The CME (our overnight futures exchange) had to stop trading several times. 35 S&P points is like the Dow crashing 350 points. This morning we crashed another 300 Dow and 30 S&P.

So keep watching. This means war. China millionaires may choose somewhere other than the US and Canada. Which could be ok. But it will also move the markets a lot. And China could start to arrest our business guys over there. That could dissuade them from doing business in China. Trust me this is big.

“China is going to respond to this.”

Good chance that this market manipulation is their response. They routinely manipulate their own markets on a massive scale, so they have the skills, as well as enough assets to implement.

The communist Chinese also routinely use economic incentives and punishments to achieve political ends around the world - it is their specialty.

Perhaps they had a hand in the perfectly timed stock market crash in 2008 as well, that put pro-communist Obama into office.

Today’s downturn comes just a week after Beijing summoned the heads of Wall Street firms for a meeting. The communists have been preparing for maximum pressure operations over the trade war, as devastating tariffs were scheduled for January 1st. This is a big enough threat to them, that they would pull out the biggest (or secret) weapons that they normally hold in reserve.

It is highly likely that communist China has prepared strategies and mechanisms to use economic measures as a weapon against the USA - both long term gradual strategies, and short-term weapon-like attacks.

The virtual shooting of the “trade” war Superpower conflict may be underway. Better now, while we still have the better cards to play, than waiting until it is too late.
