True, but the best move for China is to exercise soft-power, which they have done loudly the past week through the EU, and by (very, very likely) taking down a quarter of the world’s internet in a cyber attack immediately following Kenosha. A few well placed taunts.

China will want to sow as much doubt in Trump and America as possible, it’s an obvious geopolitical and Maoist ideological goal here, and we have plenty of reason to believe they’re doing so.

I’d expect escalation, covert cyber-war, almost certainly blackouts in California, sabotage and subversion all over the country, and legitimate internationalist support if Western leftists organize and rapidly transform themselves over the next few months, and that looks like what is happening already.

Qualities into quantities. This is exactly what an anti-electoral revolutionary opener in the imperial core should look like, and the best part is that Trump and the neoliberals are trapped now. The neoliberals have absolutely sold out to China already, and Trump’s fascist project is about to implode.
