Why China shouldn't scare anyone economically..

[grampahol]

I don't know if anyone caught on, but just recently in the last day or so China approached CANADA of all places about cooperation. They made a fools bet that they could hook up with Russia to counter US power and US financing on the global stage and just learned a tough lesson about the power of US sanctions and US power. Now they know what will happen if they make a play for Taiwan. Tough lesson, but the truth is that the US has the power to utterly destroy any nations economy within a matter of days if we so choose and Russia is the text book example. 
We tend to want to believe that the US empire is over and the good old days are in the rear view window, but the truth is we are the world's biggest power in the history of the human race and the richest. We have the largest navy bar none controlling most every ocean in the world and the best air force with the best technology the world has ever known and our hay day is gone?  What a lot of propaganda sold to us by competing political parties to make it seem like we're on the brink of collapse. Nothing could possibly be further from the truth, but millions of people buy it.
China can barely feed its own people with the farmable land they have so they have to import 90% of their food. As it sits China, the second largest producer of fertilizer has completely shut off all exports of fertilizer out of the fear of mass famine. Russia is the largest producer of it, but thanks to sanctions they'll have to eat fertilizer before they can sell it and they have no deep water ports. The rest of the developed world doesn't need their fertilizer. 
Anyway, China, hat in hand had to bow to the country that jailed their tech starlet and beg for cooperation.  They know the US would laugh in their face at this point.. 
The war in Ukraine has overnight changed the entire way the world will want to do business with the United States..They'll watch their steps unless we get stupid enough to put trump back in the WH..
