"I'm curious if the Chinese are intentionally harming themselves to attack the United States. First the pandemic and now letting ChinaLehman Evergrande collapse. The first event mucked up the world, the second one could potentially blow up the financial system as Chinese investors sell.
A bold strategy, sacrificing your bishop and knight to get closer to the king but a risky one. Sort of reminds me of how the Kaiser let Stalin pass through so Russia would collapse and those same revolutionaries came back and returned the favor a few years later."
