The situation on the ground contradicts the reassuring headlines in the US. Evergrande is about to topple and start a chain reaction around the world. Blackrock will be significantly affected.
Before I ever read a Q post, I had concluded it was Trump's protectionist trade policy toward China that triggered the bribed/controlled Democrats and MSM to spaz out and desperately try to impeach him. I now see there were other reasons, but the China policy is still a main one. Evergrande is proof.
Now those policies -- along with anemic supply chains and shutting down illegal income streams from human trafficking and other criminal enterprises -- have resulted in cashflow problems for China. Their aggressive hoarding of real estate and loans has left them asset heavy and cash poor. This is what happened to Lehman Brothers in 2008. If you can imagine cash as the oil in an engine, China's engine is dry and the pistons are locking up.
This, I theorize, was one of the purposes behind the ridiculous $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. You have to think of infrastructure bills and "stimulus" bills these days as Democrat slush funds. The money is never accounted after it changes hands. As Trump called out before he left office, the covid stimulus sent billions overseas to China and Pakistan. It's likely the infrastructure bill was going to give China the cashflow to get their engine unlocked.
Then consider how an authoritarian regime relies on state corporatism for its economy. In this economic model, insolvency of your largest corporations can leave the state with cashflow problems as well. It'll be interesting to see how woke our corporations and sports will be at after that. Also, when a despotic state has little cash, they eventually will have trouble paying their military. When the military eventually does not get paid, they coup your despotic ass.
You're asking why we should care about the possible shutdown of the government that used a bioweapon against us?
When China runs out of cash, let see how woke our corporations will be. Let's see how many team owners Lebron admonishes for criticizing China. I happen to think it's a big deal that a foreign adversary has captured our entire political and elite classes.
FYI, I bought short positions on Goldman Sachs, Blackrock, and Vanguard.
The Big Short part deux comin down the pike... Tranche warfare me hearties!!
If China is about to fail who stops them from launching nukes in spite
