China is back in business---and what that potentially means for us "Xin Guobin, vice minister of industry and information technology, said Monday that 98.6% of major industrial companies across China have resumed operations with nearly 90% of their employees back to work. More than three-quarters of China’s small- and medium-size businesses have also resumed operations." While I am not a conspiracy type, the world and specifically the free world should reconsider their relati...onships with China. China was aware as early as 2007 through Chinese think tank studies that there were versions of the Covid in certain wild animals including bats. That same study noted that the consumption of those bats was a "ticking time bomb". Did China purposely loose this evil on the world. Indirectly I would say YES! If these disease outbreaks in China from birds to swine to human viruses were not a reoccurring issue one could be more tolerant of the Chinese government's approach. The Chinese government is able to control the rest of their population with an iron hand including incarcerating around 1 million Uighurs without more than a mild 'meow' from their masses. Why did they not order the end to the cultural practices that have generated not only their human but also their semi-regularly occurring agriculture disease disasters? When one considers the bell curve of possible reasons that any human decision making entity---in this case the Chinese Communist Party leadership---would not act on these outbreaks it distributes in a pretty narrow band of possibilities. At one end of that decision process is possibly they can't enforce it and rebellion would occur. I will admit that is always a possibility when a Party of less than 1 million rules over 1.4 billion. The Uighur situation and their ability to crack down on dissidents makes me inclined to believe this is only a minor part of the equation. I will concur the Hong Kong situation might up the amount of weight it might carry. At the other end of that spectrum is that they are perfectly comfortable with these cycles of disease outbreaks. Deaths among their own population have been seen as a necessary process of 'perfecting' the collectivism of socialism ruled by an elite bureaucracy since Mao took power. The advantages that China has of now being the sole world economic engine that is open for business should not be underestimated. They will be continuing to appear to be benevolent as they 'assist' those countries their cultural practices poisoned in an attempt to lull the world back to complacency towards their power grabs. Trump properly assessed China's threat to siphon off US wealth and key industries but I fear he and the rest of the world underestimate how 'cold blooded' these Communists will be in advancing their cause.
