You skipped the part where their economy takes a giant nose dive along withn the rest of their clients, mountains of debt piling on, with no end in sight, no plan b It's like I'm throwing a grenade in the room with you and me and I claim victory with my legs blown off If this crisis didn't happen, what would china do? Same as usual, and wait for trump to leave. They had time on their side, they had the DS on their side, they had international finance on their side. Literally the only country on earth getting a pass for organ harvesting political dissents and sending muslims to camps (to get organ harvested eventually). And nobody gave a fuck obviously What do they have now? A mountain of shit to deal with, and a wrold looking for a chinese alternative while they had a virtual monopoly on tech manufacturing If they did it on purpose that's a very risky gamble, desperate gamble.1.5 billion people to feed and equip... That's a lot of trouble to handle when they are starving, looting, murdering left and right... What's the plan? Go full north korea? That's nice... But not for commerce and economic freedom in general It's hard to have economic freedom while under siege/pandemic
