Actually, maybe, the questions should be, Who will win? The US or the CCP?
That is a more accurate question, but it still a pointless waste of time. However, the war, and its implications over our lives, is very important to discuss.
The biggest problem is that the CCP are not being honest partners. They do not follow the treaties, or the trade agreements we have agreed to. The CCP does lots of predatory practices. We respect their trademarks, they do not respect ours. We try to give to them what we agreed to, they try to cut corners and scam (often for a pittance) to get a little bit ahead. A shirt from China can be bought for less than it costs me to send a shirt across the states. (They can do this because the CCP subsidizes shipping.
We could send grain to China, and they could send us cheap electronics goods forever. However, the CCP has a plan to win, to take over America. To take over Taiwan. To dominate the world, like they believe The US has done. The CCP wants to stand at the top.
If you read many of the books the CCP has published, you would know that China is currently at war with America. Well, since we mostly don't know about it, the CCP is at war with America.
The deep shame that the CCP feels
The Chinese hate to be made to look like a fool. Maintaining face is of utmost importance.
And, several times in recent history (a couple hundred year old country is recent history) they have been made to look the fool. And America was often involved.
- The Opium wars
- The leaders of the White Army escaping to Taiwan.
- Tienanmen Square
- The Dalai Lama escaping from Tibet before they could capture him.
- That they didn't get the monetary respect when they "annexed" Hong Kong.
Each one of these hurt the CCP deeply. They had built a complete copy of the Dalai Lama's temple, and then asked him to come over and see it. He told them no. They were not happy about that. Then the CCP took over Tibet, but the Dalai Lama escaped. They put the Tibetan monks in prison for years.
Now, the Chinese are very good at maintaining face, especially in the face of someone more powerful. So, it looks to the person who doesn't know, that China is our friend.
The plan to take over America
The CCP was planning to wear down America until America would beg for China to help them, to take them over.
This plan seems to be dropped. Partly because Trump came along and started hard negotiations. And now the CCP and Trump are playing chicken. Seeing who will swerve first.
The CCP should back down. However, they are too proud to ever do that.
And so, the CCP is working on how to take over Taiwan. Some say that there was an arrangement made, Trump gets Venezuela and the CCP gets Taiwan. Other theories are that the Panama canal is being guarded, from both sides, and now Japan and Korea will come to the aid of Taiwan. My feeling is that the CCP will try to take Taiwan, but when they do the Three Gorges Damn lets loose, and China's soldiers will be needed to fix things in China.
But, America needs to be careful here, the CCP has already moved troops into the Americas. Along with all the people coming up through Mexico, there were Chinese Military personnel. That they came up is documented. Where they went is unknown. Many people suspect "sleeper cells".
Along with this there is Chinese police in Canada. "For the Chinese people that are there." Yes, Chinese police stations in Canada. Several psychics have said that they see Chinese blue helmets on the streets in Seattle. Washington also appears to be one of the first states to succeed. From our current time, it looks like neo-liberals in Seattle would rather break away than to admit Trump is their president.
(Yes, the borders all over the planet are going to be moving. China is going to break into pieces. And when that happens, Taiwan will be a part of the separate pieces of China. The US is gone (the govern-cement) the capital of what is left moves west. And, of course there will be unCivil War)
The aftermath of the divorce.
Both sides will be affected greatly. However, America fairs much better. And this is because America is close to energy neutral, and produces most of their own food. China needs to import energy/fuel. And China is almost desperate for food.
That said, it will be hard. The CCP is already limiting rare earths going to America. China produces most of the raw materials used in producing medicines. Especially antidepressants and antibiotics.
So much of our manufacturing has been moved to China. Even our cars have so many parts made in China. Wallymarts' racks and shelves will be empty. Americans will need to learn how to repair TVs and microwaves
America still has the know how to rebuild their manufacturing, and Silicone Valley 2.0, where T.H.E.Y. want to build completely automated factories is already underway. But, as i said a few days ago, Americans will be manufacturing in their garages.
So, America can relearn to manufacture. There are rare earths in America, we just have to allow mining. On the other side, China does not have the farmland to feed all of its people. They do not have enough oil to continue life as they are now.
I really hope that we can negotiate an actual trade deal that will benefit us both. However, that would require the CCP giving up Taiwan, and admitting that they have been scamming America in trades.
China will not be able to take America's bread basket. Too much area, too many natural barriers. And a whole bunch of farmers with guns. It is impossible for China to force their way in. But, being invited in, especially at the WEFs insistence, may work, on the edges (like Seattle)
America couldn't really take over China. But, it is already falling apart. And the biggest blow to China will be from their own hands, cutting off America from Cheap Chinese goods, cutting off the inflow of capital.
Of course China is selling The US bonds, and soon, especially just before Taiwan invasion, will be dumping The US bonds. And this is going to result in banks closing and money hardships.
I wish America and China could work out their problems in working together.
However the CCP is selling their citizens for body parts, prison labor, their human rights leave a lot to be desired… so we really should not be dealing with them until they clean up their act.
Still, it is going to be hard on both of us, going through this seperation.
