I remember how there was a big rush towards New Zealand, between the likes of Gabe Newell moving there and other elites making bunkers. Ditto for Hawaii, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico. While I don't know enough about China to say whether it'll actually fall from grace or inertia will carry it on (though their bugmen tendencies might win out over socioeconomic issues, environmental problems aside), their aggression and deep entrenchment into our political system makes the CCP a legitimate concern. The fact that elites are colluding with them, giving them intel and access to all sorts of systems, is a major, MAJOR problem and it's good that Trump recognizes how problematic, to put it lightly, China is in general.
People want to predict the next big catastrophe but the truth is that you can’t pin it down and most events are slow and gradual. Part of why I think the economy of the world is fucked is because chinas one child policy and a lot of western investors put too many eggs in one basket.
There's too much going on right now. The glimpses we got into China are
bad, yet no one can predict exactly what'll happen to it. I think besides Corona fucking up the elite's plans, the lockdowns revealed just how fragile the hyper-interconnected globohomo system is. Companies have been moving their outsourcing to Vietnam and other ASEAN countries, India (saar), and places like Mexico and Poland.
China knows this, hence the Belt and Road initiative. They want to mimic Western colonialism to get Western advantages. They don't want to rely on just one place, they can't trust it, As far as the US is concerned, manufacturing should be one of our biggest priorities besides drilling etc. It's going to be a challenge, but we do have manufacturers here already and building those sectors up even more will help our economy become more sustainable, sustainable being the key word. China and US are suffering because of the line must go up mentality, albeit in different ways.
