That’s it. Corner the gold market and kick some Western ass. Learn Mandarin F-A-S-T, people. 👿
They know.
They may be sneaky,
but they ain’t stupid.
They are securing their place to be added as a reserve currency (IMF approved). I read the official announcement is slated for this October.
The Chinks are a fuckin paper dragon.
Socialism is a completely false, fake, delusional system which is bound to fail due to its phony foundations. It can survive a great while (witness USSR, Cuba, Soviet Bloc, China, &c.) through the application of raw force but will always fail because it is based on lies and imbecilities.
Historically China has understood her limitations and has striven for a market hegemony rather than imperial. Sometimes nationalistic expansion masks rot (as a distended belly is sometimes filled with putrescent gasses) but at other times it’s a matter of necessity (market or populational).
At this time in History, the Heathen Chinese are inscrutable.
They still remain totalitarians, however, and must be watched. Are the Clintons still in hock to them? Has HRC ever answered for her treasons concerning the Chinks?
izlamo delenda est …
Are they buying the vault, or what’s in it? Or both?
