As the United States and China trade consulate shutdowns, the Chinese flex their muscles in the South China Sea and Hong Kong, the trade war heats up, and Apple starts making iPhones in India, is the USA ready to really challenge the dragon diplomatically, economically and militarily?

China is in the process of taking over countries in Africa with the goal of controlling all the resources. I have friends in South Africa and Zambia, along with other African nations, and they tell me how Chinese are starting their own businesses there, which causes local businesses to close down. They are also gathering large tracts of land and buying out copper and other metal mines. That is their modus operandi, to creep into a country and take over as much of the economy as they can. The governments in Africa are rife with corruption and are being bought by Chinese operatives. It’s a tragedy and the citizens there are at the mercy of what will be their new overlords.I fear for my beloved friends in many African countries.
I’ve been saying the same thing Bill said in this video for a long time. Months at least. This was a fairly brief video so Bill didn’t get into the mechanism of reparations from China. We are, despite what the Democrats would prefer, a nation of laws and we can only remain a nation under the rule of law by applying those laws to China. The mechanism is fairly simple …
The Unites States needs to join with private citizens in a class action lawsuit, under the auspices of the U.S. Attorney’s office (so that some private legal firm doesn’t get a huge windfall in taking on the case for a percentage which will not go to the real victims) against China for reparations and damages due to Chinese liability over the actions of the PRC regarding the COVID-19 virus. This should be reasonably easy to win in an American court but the Chinese are welcome to a legal defense even so.
When that lawsuit is finished and a suitable judgement rendered, a bill for payment due will be presented to the PRC. Which they will no doubt refuse to pay and that bill is going to be HUGE.
The United States of America has the legal power to seize foreign assets in payment of debts both public and private. There is a precedent for this, several in fact.
When the PRC refuses to pay the bill, the U.S. freezes their assets in the U.S., both in the form of US Treasury Bonds and all other assets that can be shown to be the property of the PRC directly. Indirectly EVERYTHING Chinese is the property of the PRC and what is what and which is which will have to be litigated.
After freezing PRC assets in the U.S., primarly in the form of U.S. Treasury Bonds which the U.S. Treasury has direct control over, those assets are then liquidated and dispersed to settle the claim against the PRC. The U.S. Government gets first dibs because the U.S. Government spent trillions to offset the economic effects of the COVID-19 virus and that was taxpayer (and thus all of our) money.
Much of the debt to China will thereby be neutralized and the Chinese economy will suffer subsequently.
Note that this does not get our government completely off the financial hook, some of that debt will have to be paid to private citizens and corporations. The U.S. Government incurred the debt, the U.S. Government is responsible to pay the debt, it is merely the payee that changes. This is necessary not only to remain within legal bounds but to prevent the Democrats from going ballistic with joy in a spending frenzy with trillions of dollars in windfall that they will see as an opportunity to buy votes.
In a communist system there are no morals but what is good for the State. If it’s good for the State, it’s moral to lie, cheat, steal and murder. Using this reparations system will suitably punish the PRC State so that they “learn their lesson” that short term gains are bad for, not good for, the State.
This will legally, morally and diplomatically (looking at how our allies and the banking system will see this) remedy the bulk of the problems caused by the PRC over the COVID-19 virus. It will also have the effect of getting the U.S. out from under the Chinese thumb when it comes to debt held by China.
Chin holding our debt is overblown. Depending on who you ask when you drill down into the numbers they only own betwwe 6-8 percent
It’s somewhat interesting. Roughly 70% of US debt is owed to Americans. The remaining 30% is foreign owned, where China is indeed the largest share owner of that, but followed very closely by Japan. On the other hand, the US is actually owed by foreign countries more than is actually owed to them. Obviously the government still needs to deal with the debt, but knowing all that at least makes it seem a bit less scary.
Last century it was “the east minus the west equals zero”. It is true even more so with China today. A totalitarian mind control state cannot have innovation and creativity with any abundance exactly because the so called leaders define what is true, possible, and permissible. It takes freedom for a people to educate themselves, to discover truth, and to make it happen in spite of the government experts.
Without that foundation of individual freedom, the closed societies have to steal the wealth and innovation of the free nations. All we needed to do then as now is stop feeding them. They will soon no longer be a problem. See the collapse of the USSR as and instructive example.
Paper tiger or no, they do have a lot of soldier aged men, due to their satanic one-child policy. Culturally, in China, if you’re only going to be allowed one child, you’d better make it a male.
Soldier-aged men who are so sexually frustrated that their own government manuals have discouraged the overuse of masturbation. Obviously it will be a strong recruitment technique to promise foreign partners to them if they expand Chinese territory and dominance.
The Russian frog puppet thinks China could take Taiwan. But it’d spend all its power doing it.
