    Shi Zhengli didn't kill herself memes within the next 3 weeks.

    I don’t even care about China that much at this point. It’s obvious that they are evil and were the initial cause and lied. Sure we could go about try to make them pay the economic bill in some sense, but I think we are kind of fucked on that point based on our own over reaction. Not a lawyer, but China’s response to an economic bill would be that they didn’t force the US to shutdown it’s own economy based on crappy models and politics. That was our own crappy decision.

    The war is vs ourselves at this point. China is a separate issue.

    Agree in full. However, it'd be nice to have an external Bad Guy to rally around.

    We can wipe our debt to them off the books pretty easily. Beyond that you are correct.

    I don't think it's quite that easy as saying "fuck off" to holders of T-bills and other debt instruments - that shit gets traded out on the market left and right.

    More importantly China needs to constant flow of US greenbacks into their economy so that they are then able to go out and purchase things they need on the world market. Nobody wants to take the shit yuan as payment. That Bass cat had some pretty good points relative to the leverage and house of cards in China. They are fucked, fucked, fucked if we? stop sending them money.

    Trump is squeezing their balls with the right hand while he's squeezing the lefty governors balls with his left.
