Mmmmm hmmmm...

I know I've said it before, not that it's something I say frequently, but I think everybody needs to chill the fuck out on the Russia hate train and worry about the real threat.


I'm reading that there may be 10 Million currently working Chinese citizens that will be unemployed very soon.


What the hell is Xi going to do? What is he supposed to do?

Trump's tariffs will completely destroy China's economy if they don't make MAJOR concessions.

Making major concessions is not what the Chinese government does. Showing that kind of weakness is not what a Chinese Communist leader does. Don't matter if he'd save 10 Million jobs overnight if he did it. They've got a 200 year plan going on right now. Derailing that by letting one Lone Wolf and twice unexpected President of the US bully them into submission on the world stage could set them back decades.

Looks like they started hiding some numbers back in 2022 and maybe they started cloaking the rest in 2024 when they saw the writing on the wall and knew Trump was coming back.



What do you make of Xi hiding all those numbers?

I think this is more interesting to look at than 3 years worth of Russia/Ukraine crap.
