Chinas Economic Collapse Us Tariffs Population Decline Ccp F

Trump is making more and more absurd demands of terrorists because the truth is they just want to decouple. The relationship's over. But rather than come out and be the first guy to say that, he's making these... They want to decouple the US economy from China and make the world make a choice between the two. And the world's going to choose... Most of the world was going to choose the US, if it's all uncertain. And that's going to really... The US is 25% of the world's GDP, 35% of the consumption. China can't take a 35% hit to its domestic production. It has been delivering... It has two things that keep it in power. One, domestic growth, and two, jingoism. And everybody knew that 2020 was where they were going to have to start switching because they were at the apogee of their power in 2020. Their population, for one thing, their population was at its peak in 2020. They're now losing 1%, 1.5% of the population per year. That starts working its way through to your GDP figures. So if they had to reach for world domination, 2020 was the time to do it. And as you know, I think that's what we've been living through. It's kind of funny. This is one of those fights that if we sort of tuck up and just keep ourselves okay, it's like we're in a boxing match with someone who's been stabbed in the jugular. And we don't have to really go for broke. Now, they can still kill us if we go for broke, but if we just keep boxing and moving, time is going to take care of them at this point over the next five to 10 years. Maybe faster. These tariffs, if they have the thing they really fear is mass unemployment. And I'll close on this thought. In 1989, after the military was used to put down the citizens, the CC made a deal with the military. Because no military wants to do that. No military wants to have to do that. They know how they work. We're talking about Tiananmen Square, by the way, people may not be thinking of. I'm sorry if I didn't say that. They made a deal that their great fear was ever having domestic uprising, domestic unemployment again, which is where they can... So all of their domestic policies are about transferring value from the countryside to the city. They want to keep people in the city happy and fed. Everything is about keeping... They do not want there to ever be any sort of large domestic uprising that comes out of unemployment.
