DANGER! "CHINA Has FALLEN...." - Jim Rickards

The mandate of heaven is a two edged sword "if you lose it you're done"

"What's China's next move? They don't have a move."

Here is the problem with being rich, other people also want to be rich. So do you have a barrier to entry or can anyone do what you do? Israel, Taiwan, Germany, the US, these countries are famous for doing things no one else can do. But china? Nope, everyone else can imitate their model.

Jim Rickards has been working in and with China for 30 years, about the same number of years as I have been involved with Taiwan.
And FYI, Taiwan and China are not the same country. If you lived in Taiwan, you would have known that.

I wouldn't be hired for a job I'm not qualified for like literally every person Trump hired for his cabinet
Trump is a reckless narcissist(among other things). At some point he'll make a major misstep he can't recover from.

The KKK have been around at the same time as light bulbs. The KKK was founded as Southern resistance to republicans after the war.
And now in recent years the KKK and other white supremacist groups support the Republicans
Conservatives like to think they have a gotcha moment when they mention that Lincoln was a Republican
The Republican party of Lincoln doesn't exist now. Conservatives and Democrats have switched platforms

Yeah I don't know why they think this is a gotcha. You won't find a single Democrat today wearing a KKK hood or welding a swastika

So spell it out, what are you saying?

No one wants to be seen with the KKK, so publicly supporting a party is clearly a negative, not a positive. If the KKK were truly for the Republicans they would have kept quiet. It sounds a whole lot more like their public support was designed to hurt them, not help. Even the Democrats during Jim Crow when we later discovered some of the politicians were in the KKK publicly they would castigate the KKK. How naive and simple do you have to be to buy into that narrative?

You really are clueless. Yes, I was aware of the complex political dynamics. But I also went to Hong Kong, and my brother in law though he lived and worked in Taiwan, his company had major presence in China. I also worked with Taiwan companies that were doing import/export. Their factories were in China but Americans preferred to talk to those in Taiwan because their english was much better which is where I came in.

Living in Taiwan gave me a first hand view of everything they were doing and the US was doing to help secure them from attack. It also gave me a first hand view of the Chinese culture and since my daughter lives there today it has meant I have focused far more on the situation in Taiwan and China than you would ever get from US media or news.

The more you talk the less and less it seems you know about the entire situation.

Back in the 90s it was easy to extrapolate China becoming the world's biggest economy and superpower. But then I was able to easily see the belly of the beast was wide open to attack. For example, in order to feed the people on the coast where all the manufacturing and international trade was they needed their military to go into the fields in rural China and help the peasants with the harvest. At that time all the trains were taken over for this purpose. Take out a couple of railroad lines and 200 million people starve. Taiwan has people in place like sleeper cells in China for such an eventuality. If you blow up the 3 gorges dam you will flood the entire Yangtze river valley where 500 million live and where all of China's manufacturing is, their equivalent of the rust belt. On paper every Chinese province has stored up large warehouses of food in reserve in the event that something does happen. But recently they discovered all those corrupt officials had sold that food to the black market to make themselves rich and replaced it with sawdust. China knows any war they get involved with will result in tens of millions of people starving to death on the streets and more likely over a hundred million. Did you see their dress rehearsal for this during Covid where they welded shut the doors to huge apartment buildings and everyone was locked into the buildings, many of whom simply starved to death. Meanwhile the recent college graduates from last year and the year before cannot get jobs because foreign companies are packing up and leaving in the droves and much of their export business has died. Ever since the Pandemic the Chinese have become more and more vocal in their public defiance of the government. This is a country where if you speak out against the leaders you disappear and yet you are able to find numerous examples of large protests in the street. China is a tinderbox, it is ready to explode and there is no way to go to war without this country going up in flames.
