Summed up by this:

Thankfully though, at least most of the comments are pretty based. Murica really is living inside their own echo chambers for too long already.

Let's take a look at who wrote this piece of sh1t...

Oh look, yet another Hanjian. Why am I not surprised.

Let's see if he can get even one outbound flight ticket in time once sh1t really hits the fan and these Hanjians living in Murica are being herded into concentration camps somewhere in the Midwest.

Several obvious problems with that approach.

Firstly, at the most superficial financial level, one does not simply buy a majority stake in a major company on the stock market since there will never be that amount of shares just floating around. Usually such stakes comes at a significant premium above and beyond the listed share price of the shares precisely because of the controlling stake aspect of the buy. To simply dump the shares at market value would mean a significant net loss on the investment for Sinochem. Indeed, there just won’t be the normal market demand to absorb all those shares, and as soon as a certain percentage threshold is reached (which will be far below Sinochem’s holdings), every professional trader in the world will know what is going on, and the share price will nosedive and Sinochem will need to stop selling or take a massive loss on the share sales. As soon as the fire sale is over, the company share price will rebound, so it won’t do any lasting damage beyond to Sinochem’s bank account.

Secondly, as already mentioned by others, this move sets an unacceptable precedent that must be strongly, and I would argue, disproportionately resisted and punished. Doing anything less risks opening the floodgates to similar Chinese-Exclusion-Act-2.0 level discriminatory clauses popping up all over the place as greedy western politicians and their rich puppeteers look to effectively rob China of all its overseas investments.

In many ways, this is a perfect illustration on why China should never, and will never limit its military preparedness to merely being able to defeat western military misadventures in China’s backyard. This is a key reason why Chinese military modernisation and expansion is focused so much on the navy and expeditionary combat capabilities.

If Chinese military might is purely defensive and geographically limited to its own homeland, there is little China can do to protect its overseas investments from being plundered like what happened to Russian assets. And China doesn’t have to have done anything wrong for that to have happened. All it would take is for the west to find some pretext to start a war with China, and then re-write the law books to make it perfectly ‘legal’ to seize Chinese state and private assets when they come to fight China and loose. In order to safeguard Chinese foreign investments, China needs to develop and maintain the expeditionary hard military power needed to come to the homes of the Europeans and take what they stole back.

It’s not enough for Chinese warships to turn up to the ports of thieves, there should be a task force talon type PLA outfit that will hunt these thieves to the ends of the earth until they’re rotting inside Chinese prisons.

I’m pretty sure the meeting with Xi would not have been granted without some pretty substantial and concrete concessions from the US to justify it. Just what those concessions are might not be made public for quite some time, if ever unfortunately. Since the Americans are so desperate to save face, they will desperately want those concessions kept secret, whereas China don’t care about all the peacock parading in front of the cameras if it gets substantive results behind the scenes.

I think of it as chinas last and best offer to the anglos to become a pole in the new multipolar world or they can try their luck with ww3 and potentially forfeit all the territories of the five eyes.

The white saviour Christian fundamentalist who wants to wrap all Chinese in her aryan blonde hair bemoans the fact that military engagements were not discussed so American commanders won’t know how far they can push things in the SCS before accidentally triggering a war.

Looks like Lukashenko Belarus coup accusations on the West has been proven right once again. Lots of western backed terrorists are being trained in camps located in NATO Poland to be used against Belarus.

This session is the first of its kind in Poznan, but other groups have been training in Poland for months with recruits numbering in the hundreds, according to Aliaksandr Azarau, the leader of Bypol.

Guerrilla fighters and partisans linked to Bypol have already conducted small successful operations in Belarus.

Starling believes the protests were unsuccessful in 2020 because they were no match for the well-trained and well-armed security forces. Next time things will be different.

Wouldn't the railways be easily disrupted by enemy forces though? Missiles or bombers, and you only need to destroy one bridge or viaduct to render the long network unusable for a long time.

The transport networks have a fair bit of redundancy. But mainly they're defended by the fact that they're unreachable. It's not like the fronts will be anywhere close to the transport lanes.

The networks can't be disabled. What I'm more sceptical about is if these networks have the kind of capacity to move over hundred thousands of troops along with the logistics to supply them.
