Has China made moves that mean the Economic part of WWIII is now?

[DennisPTate]

Jim Rickards gave some statistics that indicate that China led by Xi may feel that now is the time to ramp up the economic part of their WWIII against the USA?

This may help to explain why President Trump seems to be playing a bit rough because if China is beginning a trade war against the USA and the actual allies of the USA, then perhaps this is not a good time to turn the other cheek?

There’s no telling how he’ll deploy this fund. Anything is possible. We’ll just have to wait and see.

But Aaron, if Social Security running out of money makes you sick? Brace yourself…

Because guess who profits from this mess?

CHINA!

In addition to taking most of our manufacturing jobs…

The U.S. government admits…

We rely on China for 100% of 20 key minerals.

These are critical to everything from NVIDIA’s A.I. Chips to Elon Musk’s EVs, robots and satellites… to advanced military weaponry like F-16 fighters and drones. Practically every device with an “on” button.

And late last year, China cut us off!

Aaron Gentzler

Cut us off in what way?

Jim Rickards

China blocked the export of these critical minerals to the United States.

Meaning if we don’t act – our whole economy could tip into crisis.

This reminds me of the 1970s, and the Arab Oil Embargo.

Back then, I was working with the Nixon administration. I was part of an elite team plotting a secret take-over of Saudi Arabia’s oil fields. It was our plan-B if they didn’t agree to our demands.

Anyway… I bring this up because the same kind of thing is happening today in the market for critical minerals.

Which is why Trump is moving fast to unlock this $150 trillion endowment.

I've been hearing about this for several months and on one level I am wondering if Xi is being isolated by influential people in China who want to get rid of many of his most enthusiastic supporters so that they can surround Xi, [or replace Xi with somebody who is less likely to move toward an all out conflict with the USA]?

What do you personally think is the exact meaning of what is happening in China?

I am wondering if this means that there are influential people in China who feel that Xi was far too aggressive toward the USA, [especially now that Mr. Donald J. Trump is President again]?

There are two sentences in the opening post quotation that have huge implications.

You're a fool.
The U.S. has been in a Tariff war for decades with Europe on a lesser degree than China.

Yes and this is why Greenland has became critical.​

DennisPTate explain how China or Russia could gain control of Greenland.

Or did the Tariff War so terrify influential people in China that they decided to get rid of some of the most aggressive supporters of Chairman Xi's dangerous moves against the USA?

Are those five out of seven removed leaders of China, from post number two, one part of the results of the Trump Tariffs?

Did the massive DECREASE in USA dollars coming to China terrify the leaders of China who were profiting the most, [until President Trump was back in power]?

I agree with the idea that the removal of five out of seven major leaders in China surely must be good news for the USA, for Taiwan, for Japan and for all of the world.

I was in Ecuador from January of 2001 to August of 2002 so I heard some of what China was doing there, [as well of course about what they did in Venezuela over the last twenty years].

China was willing to invest heavily in influential people like Hunter Biden!

Really when did it start? There should be stories from the past all over the internet about countries slapping tariffs on other countries as punishment. Find 5

Death By China: How America Lost Its Manufacturing Base (Official Version)​

1,365,383 views Apr 10, 2016

This award-winning film examines the US-China trade relationship. The companion Crouching Tiger ten episode documentary on YouTube is based on the best-selling book Crouching Tiger: What China's Militarism means for the world. Watch Episode One of Crouching Tiger: https://goo.gl/RboRPx . View the Crouching Tiger Book on Amazon: https://goo.gl/1yYPex

And the producers recent book is even more relevant to this discussion and poll.

Will there be war with China? This book provides the most complete and accurate assessment of the probability of conflict between the United States and the rising Asian superpower. Equally important, it lays out an in-depth analysis of the possible pathways to peace. Written like a geopolitical detective story, the narrative encourages reader interaction by starting each chapter with an intriguing question that often challenges conventional wisdom.Based on interviews with more than thirty top experts, the author highlights a number of disturbing facts about China's recent military buildup and the shifting balance of power in Asia: the Chinese are deploying game-changing "carrier killer" ballistic missiles; some of America's supposed allies in Europe and Asia are selling highly lethal weapons systems to China in a perverse twist on globalization; and, on the U.S. side, debilitating cutbacks in the military budget send a message to the world that America is not serious about its "pivot to Asia."In the face of these threatening developments, the book stresses the importance of maintaining US military strength and preparedness and strengthening alliances, while warning against a complacent optimism that relies on economic engagement, negotiations, and nuclear deterrence to ensure peace.Accessible to readers from all walks of life, this multidisciplinary work blends geopolitics, economics, history, international relations, military doctrine, and political science to provide a better understanding of one of the most vexing problems facing the world.

This guy thinks that Xi is done?

If he is correct then those Tariffs seem to be working. My guess is that the wealthiest bureaucrats in China saw a massive DECREASE in the amount of money that was coming in and thus they decided to organize against Xi, until it was too late.

Does the high level purge of one of China's top Generals, He Weidong, reveal Xi Jinping's grip on power done?

This guy thinks that Xi is becoming paranoid?

If five out of seven major leaders disappear, paranoia would be a logical response?

I don't think the change was because of trump. Communist China and when Russia was both got read of their guys near the top it didn't change the guy at the top. For them it;s basically forced retirement and they can be replaced immediately with more loyal people.

Perhaps not, but I am sure that the Trump Tariffs would produce a serious decrease in the kind of money that would be coming to the corrupt leadership in China. Now that I have read more about this it seems likely that Xi was probably the one behind the recent purges that are at the top of the CCP.

They would have to deal with Denmark because there is nothing they could offer Greenlanders. To begin with they would have to subsidize Greenland $500 to $600 million like Denmark does now.

donald "Little Hitler" trump doesn't need Greenland to defend the U.S against anyone. For 70 years the Americans have been building defenses against Nuclear Ballistic Missiles and no other president or member of the military ever recommended it. Those are the only things that could be used against the States. All he wants is the natural resources.

His idea when he attacked Venezuela was for the oil companies to take the oil. They said no because what untouched is not easily accessible. They would have build all the roads, railroads, pipelines and ports. Also it's crap oil.

It's the same in Greenland. Any American mining company already has access to their minerals but couldn't be bothered to because the cost would be prohibitive. Greenland would allow it without question because it would give their economy one hell of a boost and of course create jobs for their people.

Personally I like The Donald!

He just needs some assistance with his "Cyrus" mantle.

My suggestion is to make an offer to pay off t he national debt of the United States with the surge in value that the TRump Cyrus coin that was minted in Jerusalem is about to experience>

I predict that it will surge past BitCoin.... [relatively speaking at minimum]!



Do you believe that Rabbi's in Jerusalem would mint that coin without checking The Torah Codes that Michael Drosnin made famous?
