Guys, I'm trying to connect the dots here. Remember the "China will collapse in 30 days" BS? Well, I think this is what their entire propaganda campaign was leading up to. The dates match up fairely closely. IMO it's an over-the-top attempt for someone to scare off the flood of capital that is currently entering China and re-route it to itself. That someone must be pretty desperate, especially after multiple failures during the past couple of months to repeatingly ignite a conflict in Asia, from official visits to english vegetable and then the Taiwan Act.
I mean, this entire attempt is comical at best. But we must lower our expectations considering that last time they literally publically announced that they were doing a coup before they attempted it. So......
This + Russia reverse uno Western sanctions + transitory inflation. Man, Western economic model must be on life support these days.
