1. They want the world to trade in the Yuan instead of the dollar. KSA has been kissy, kissy with China. Brazil, Russia, Iran and others will be happy to go with it. i am glad they didn’t destabilize the world economy with the debt ceiling or it would have played well into China’s goal there as the world can only tolerate being tossed upside down by US politics to a limit.

2 China hoped to weaken the US and allies with Covid and succeeded but were caught in their own web.
3. China is counting on the USA depleting our military resources in Ukraine while building up a naval fleet to challenge their desire to take and rule as much of the South China Sea and other global locations.
They have invested heavily in African countries with stipulations, such as South Africa must teach Mandarin in all schools, which has already begun. They have used South Africa to traffic weapons to Putin for his goal take Ukraine.
4. American companies shifted manufacturing to China which not only have them the money to do come to this point in history, but they have stolen technologies and products produced on the very machines the corporations bought and set up to manufacture their products, from Apple to designer apparel and accessories.
5. Americans are dependent on cheap goods from China and must wean themselves from this addiction by reclaiming their labor rights and the market focus on the customer verses the current situation where workers and customers are squeezed like oranges to quench the thirst of Wall Street investors. Labor unions are a must to ensure the rights of the workers. This must coincide with returning manufacturing to the states and forcing corporations to pay their taxes regardless of where the money or branch is globally. After all, we spend $773 BILLION dollars this year on a military budget that protects those global corporate assets, while we have third world healthcare that costs more than anywhere else in the world, a homeless, drug trafficking and addiction and mental illness crisis at home.

i could continue, but will conclude with the fact that when they attack is or actually cause a crash at sea and we rightfully place embargoes, Americans will also suffer a great deal by not having those cheap goods available. Covid supply chain was minuscule compared to what may come. 🙏🏼
