They are doing a great job of self destruction. I think the CCP will be happy holding onto China. I am often wrong.
Agreed, except for one thing: They’re losing grip, and what’s the one thing every government does when it’s desperate for distraction?
War. And I’m not talking about Taiwan. The problem is that the only rational choice is another nuclear power (India).
The CCP’s options are narrow indeed, but war with the US - meaning any Pacific power with whom we have a pact - is suicidal economically.
So, the question is academic: What will the CCP do as its grip continues to slip?
Suddenly the continuous nature of their so-called ‘zero covid’ makes perfect sense.
It’s a 50/50 outcome. The CCP might go full scorched earth. That is a definite possibility. It may be that the CCP may have an internal war or they may go external. Either way they will end up with an internal war. Ugly, world impacting….. it will be epic.
