    Nice to see Iran and other ME countries plummet I guess. The risk of the US starting a another war in the ME is a lot higher than China.

    Granted, this is likely mostly linked to people regarding covid-19 as a Chinese bioweapon.

      If anyone created it as a bioweapon, it was the CIA. They've been waging war against China using biological weapons since the end of WWII so it wouldn't be new territory for them.

      Like I don't necessarily believe that to be the case but I've found more than a bit of credible evidence pointing to us (the most fucked up of which I found in a book from a few decades ago while researching something connected to the coverup of the Kennedy assassination so I wasn't even looking for this rabbit hole, the rabbit dragged me down dammit) and none pointing to China.

      The fucking racist brainworms it takes to believe all the lies about China without questioning our government or media.

      It just depends on the media's mood at the moment. All this indicates is our current media hype, not our future foreign policy. Not to get all 1984, but... maybe EastAsia ends up being our ally and it was EurAsia we were fighting the whole time.

      Granted, this is likely mostly linked to people regarding covid-19 as a Chinese bioweapon.

      Our plunging economic prospects have been China's fault since the Bush Era. De-industrialization is a foreign policy problem that we can only fix by doing a Third World War.
