The Belt and Road Initiative has some pretty tight webbings for the unwary.
Step by step, little by little, China is boldly attempting to take over the world. Literally. Period.
Whether via the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the String of Pearls, massive infiltration of America’s higher education system, the pilfering of its businesses’ research and development data, or its recent propensity to buy up American farmland that abuts sensitive military bases, the erstwhile Middle Kingdom’s message is clear: we will become the world’s pre-eminent power no matter what… and there’s nothing you or anyone else can do about it at this point, so don’t bother trying.
According to a CNN report, a recent FBI investigation determined that Chinese-made Huawei equipment placed atop cell towers near rural Midwestern military bases in the United States is capable of disrupting—and capturing-- highly restricted Defense Department communications, including those used by US Strategic Command, which oversees the country's nuclear weapons. That’s nice.
Just kidding. Actually, it raises the question, “Why the hell does America and its government permit this?” (Of course, you could ask that same question about a whole range of things in the past 18 months or so.)
China is not only bribing and coercing countless nations around the world, it is deliberately and grossly misleading them as well. It is offering them what appears to be an economic benefit, albeit a temporary one, while tricking them into indefinite bondage.

China will collapse like the Soviet Union within 5 years.
About 40 years behind the curve on that one.
China financed its war machine with money made by ‘washing the cars’ of the people it is now threaten with it.
What happens when those same people decide to get their cars washed elsewhere?
They play chess while our geriatric WH piddles with his sippie cups and blocks and Kamalhoe measures the drapes.
So will we.
China is beyond abusive to its people, it terrorizes and enslaves them unimaginably. Even their rixh elites are not immune. Who wants this?
I’ve been hearing about China’s “imminent collapse” for nearly 15 years.
I’m still waiting for proof that it will happen.

“And now China has much of Africa and South America tangled in its web.”
Damn it! We had those countries in OUR web!
“China will collapse like the Soviet Union within 5 years.”
You’re dreaming.
Does anyone remember when the Japanese were buying up America in the 1980's? When their economy started to slow and they tried to liquidate their America assets they were forced to sell low after buying high. China is indeed in trouble but wounded animals can be dangerous...
