CHINA IS F###ED

Dissidents in China are getting sporty… watch for pro-democracy movement to rise up. And if the ChiCom government mows them down, it will be absolute solid gold as a reason to stop dealing with them.

Big wild card is whether they will start an invasion of Taiwan as a distraction or because they have nothing else to lose. And figure a war will boost their popularity.

Interesting times indeed!!!

Where do we get some of these luxury goods they are selling off? Asking for a friend…
 
An American I know who travels there for 2 yr stints to teach English to rich kids is now hoping his host family can finagle a way of sneaking into Taiwan so they can flee. The family owns a bunch of factories in China and fears they too will burnt down soon. But escaping is difficult now due to EXIT BANS by the CCCP who has greatly cracked down on the Chinese people in recent years...even jailing people for writing songs with lyrics the government dislikes. I can't imagine having to abandon my businesses and flee the country under risk of being imprisoned like this. Yeesh!

Just remember that a lot of what you see is propaganda tossed out by one side or the other.

China exports about 600 billion a year to us and imports around 150 billion a year from us.

China's global exports are around 3.5 Trillion dollars a year

Basically trade with the USA is about 15% of their total export output.
Let's say stuff is rerouted and actually is double that, so max 30%

Bad but not end of the world bad.

China is the #3 buyer by $ amount of USA goods so it's not like things will be pain free here for the folks that export and sell stuff to China and that work for companies that do or have investments in them.

Or turn loose their thousands upon thousands of assassins and saboteurs already embedded throughout our country.

This is honestly my biggest fear/concern right now.

Sort of sounds like fleeing Germany in 1935…. Remember that they are the Chinese communist party. But in reality, they are now a fascist government. The reason being that they were communist as long as the government owned all the means of production. As soon as they privatized all the factories and said getting rich is glorious, they switched from a communist government to a fascist government. It’s a small point, but they are exactly like Nazi Germany at this point.

Cheers.

How do you get a factory in communist China....🤔🤔🤔
 
And while this happennes the main stream media pretends China is going to kill us with tariffs. 🤣🤣🤣 This probably would have hsppenned in 2019 if we hadn't bailed their economy out spending billions on pandemic theater buying masks, gloves, disinfectant, and plastic Sheila's.
Platic Sheila's. 🤣🤣🤣 supposed to be shields but I m.not changing it. 🤣🤣🤣

Doubt it... that's an act of war. Now if we engage in war with them over Taiwan.... then it will be game on.

Of course, if they do that, it will be really difficult to be Asian in America after about... an hour. Then their saboteurs and assassins will be at the Wong end of the Shooting Wange! Ah... so! Pew Pew! Then again, so will every other Asian in the USA. But they may have the sense to stay home for a few days!

CHINA CANNOT WITHSTAND TRUMP TRADE WAR.

China's economy is less than two-thirds the size of the American one. Last year, the U.S. produced about $29.2 trillion in gross domestic product. China's National Bureau of Statistics reported $18.8 trillion, a number almost certainly inflated.

Moreover, China is the trade-surplus economy. America's merchandise trade deficit with China hit $295.4 billion last year. That deficit is 5.8 percent greater than 2023's.

Trade-surplus countries have no ammunition in trade wars. They are the ones with everything to lose.

Xi Jinping, because he has rejected consumption, has placed almost all his bets on exports to rescue his failing economy, which did not grow at the 5 percent pace reported for last year. At the moment, indicators suggest China is in a deflationary spiral and so may not be growing at all.

I can live for longer without the cheap Chinese shit then they can last without selling it
No you cant! Think about everything you use daily. The phone or computer you type on, the servers hosting your post. The utility transformers keeping your lights on. The gps in your car. The TV, the washing machine controllers, the remote. I could go on and on about all the shit you use without thinking about it. How do you scan your debit card? How does the gas pump work? What do you put water in? We are way more dependent on them. You're a fool to think otherwise!!

If they stopped importing that tomorrow, I could live longer without new ones than they could live without selling them. By the time it’s all expired, there will be non-chinc solutions.

I truly hope you’re correct…truly.

In the meantime, me and mine will continue to heed Army Jerry’s advice, and train for an eventuality we all pray will never happen.

You keep forgetting, we need our Jingo Juice Stimulants to keep up this mindless fervor of McCarthyist quasipatriotic excitement! 🤣

has happened to the Chinese before in about 50ish. Vietnamese,Ukrainians,Jews,Cubans and many others thru history have had to leave everything and run. not all were rich but many were.
one of our probs is we have nowhere to run. most of us are here for keeps good or bad
 
Another pearl harbor?? If I remember correctly we were putting the screws to Japan with embargoes in the lead up to Dec 7th.

Read Debt of Honor... Tom Clancy. C 1995 or so. Book also gave 'somebody' the idea to fly planes into buildings.

This is how it can start in the modern world, too.

gonna be interesting to see if Xi has faith in and control of his military. ie enough to run another Tiananmen massacre. that might be unclear. he has dumped some senior generals of late. in some armies the loyalty,historically,has been with the high level commanders not the central gov. eg Rome before the collapse. sort of the reason soviet invasion of w.Europe was always iffy. russians didn't trust most of Warsaw pact troops,exc maybe EGs. the level of extant brain washing of Chinese is the problem. look at USSR and Germany in WW2. and he is like many other dictators around these days. he might invade Taiwan and gin up a nuc war to stay in power.
