Very reassuring! War with China would be a complete disaster for everyone, so I certainly hope you’re right. I’d love to see the top dogs in China completely undone by a grassroots democracy movement - but I’m in the dark as to whether that’s feasible. I also find it reassuring that China has financial reasons to NOT wage war on us - such as, we are their biggest customer, they absolutely need our markets, and they hold so much US debt.
Please keep us informed about new developments regarding the China mystery. Why ARE they sinking so much money into the Belt and Road initiative? Can we trust that there is no military aspect to this? And how are the top dogs realistically going to hold on to power indefinitely?
I don’t know if you are old enough to have lived through the Cold War. Everyone in the West fretted for decades that the Soviet Union was going to ‘bury us’ (as Khrushchev famously promised) - and then, the USSR just rotted from within. I’m thinking there may be some variation on this in China someday, but we get so little reliable information! I’d appreciate hearing from you any reliable new warnings and signals you encounter....
I’ve read your Substack for a few weeks now, and have been impressed by your insights and analysis. You also have information that I haven’t heard elsewhere (for example, I didn’t know that China’s missiles were defensive only). You give us an informed viewpoint that is different from much of the mainstream press, and that is valuable! Plus, you answer questions and interact with us - love it! I suspect you’re going to be proven right on a number of issues over time. So I have just splurged on my budget and upgraded to a PAID subscription. Keep it coming!

Just keep reading. There's a reason I have a section "China Matters" 😉
