Beijing is ‘very interested’ in preparing for sanctions as it vows ‘resolute countermeasures’ to US arms approval to disputed territory

Summary

China has sent officials to Russia to study the effects of Western sanctions, aiming to prepare for potential sanctions if it invades Taiwan.

Beijing’s task force, created after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, analyzes sanctions’ impacts and strategies like reserve diversification and de-dollarization.

Concerns over $3.7 trillion in Chinese overseas assets are driving these efforts.

The growing ties between China and Russia include Chinese companies aiding Russia’s war efforts.

    WW3 isn’t until 2040-ish, sorry:

    We’ve still got the progressively-creating-dictatorship stage, to happen in the US, ( until about 2031-ish )

    then there’s the carving-up-the-world-into-empires while Trump carves the US up in Confederacy’s ideology’s image, stage, ( another 7-8y )

    THEN, when that’s all done, THEN kaboom goes peace from the world, until only 1 faction’s left alive, through global-war-of-attrition…

    It may finish by the end of this century, may not.

    Don’t expect more than 100 million left alive, at the end of it, IF the Good Guys win, don’t expect ANYbody left alive if they are as “unconscious at the wheel” as the Left has been in the US & Romania, lately.

    I bet you an imaginary dime that the real WW3 will be not in this decade.

    Bet?
