Statistics show that 70% of Taiwanese citizens are concerned about the economic repercussions of a potential Chinese blockade. In 1949, the Communist Party achieved a significant victory by taking over Beijing, then known as Peiping, after a month-long siege. The local Nationalist commander surrendered without resistance. This event, known as the Peiping model, is now referenced by Chinese state media as a strategy for a bloodless takeover of Taiwan. Recent military exercises conducted by China are aimed at preparing for such a blockade. Analysts suggest that any Chinese trade restrictions on Taiwan would result in substantial economic costs. However, China might adjust its approach to minimize unintended consequences. These statistics and historical references highlight the ongoing tensions and potential strategies in the region.

Apr 14 “The Art of the Deal”:
A small biz owner has $30K worth of goods stuck in China—now costs $200K to ship due to tariff hikes. No stock = no revenue. House is leveraged, employees unpaid. Policy shifts every 36 hrs leave thousands of entrepreneurs paralyzed. #SmallBusiness

May 8 While China will be mildly hit by the trading war with the US, there is a ticking bomb waiting for the US and that nobody is seeing.
The “Just in time” flow of goods will be soon completely disrupted and will create hoarding.

May 6 9/ The Chinese economy was a mirage. Sure, millions were raised up out of poverty, but the mechanism was unsustainable and now the tariffs are pushing the Chinese economy to brink. The game is ending and social unrest is inevitable.
