  1. China's economy is in slow decline. The virus lock downs will speed it up. Lower GDP, higher unemployment, property developer bankruptcies, small and medium businesses going broke, local governments running out of cash, local banks running out of cash and individual personal despair of the population will lead to lower consumer spending. This will end up impacting the world economy and the US. China will try to spend its way out of its decline with government stimulus and that will reduce prices of goods produced in China and shipped around the world. Inflation will decline. China is the worlds second largest economy. A slow down in China will slow demand for energy. Steel production has declined and companies are going bankrupt because of the property developers stopped projects all over the country. The property developers collapse will ripple thru out the economy. Lock downs will make it worse. Individuals, corporations, bond holders and investors are leaving China. The ruffled feathers about Taiwan are meant to stir up people and have them rally around the CPP and China. They need to distract people from all the economic problems in China.

  2. It seems like China knows something about the virus that the rest of the world does not if it needs to be so extreme and lock down cities. The release of the virus from a lab in Wuhan now seems more likely. Are the effects of long covid more severe than we know ? Are there long term brain, heart and lung impacts that we will learn about in the future.

  3. China is too aggressive with its people, its neighbors and the world. This is bad for China and the world. It is much better to get along with others and solve differences by trying to develop a win - win solution. Win - lose solutions are bad for people and the planet. We all need to get along and quit trying to lie, cheat or steal to get ahead in life. China has poisoned its air, land and water resources abusing its people, nature and the environment.
