China owns vast amounts of US real estate and US govt securities. They can fight back.


And what recourse would they have if we confiscated their real estate (which is here, obviously) and defaulted on their securities?

China has a ONE item that we currently need - rare earth elements.

Thanks to a major investment by the U.S. government…that leverage point is going to dissipate (and maybe disappear).

China is on the clock…and they know it.
