ZeroHedge- US Unexpectedly Sanctions China Officials Hours After Demanding Beijing Condemn Russia
Apparently not content with diplomatic war on one front with Russia, the Biden administration appears ready to escalate with China following on the heels of last week’s persistent accusations that Beijing was mulling cooperation with Moscow on weapons resupplies for its Ukraine operation, as well as assistance on Western sanctions evasion.
More on what this means from the two Alex’s on The Duran: Biden White House launches sanctions war against China
The Chinese can easily trump this B.S by demanding, the next time Biden and whatever country wants to borrow more more by replying: “Cash only, you pay now!”/
The Chiner Corporation holds a YUGE amount of US debt……….
Would the US default on their debt to screw over China? Smart like truck, thoroughly debase your currency through default to “hurt” China.
I wouldn’t put anything past this corrupt, destructive Bidet administration. Is their incompetence a feature or a bug?
I suspect as long as their ideology and/or bank accounts are being fed, they don’t care.
Oh good. We did need a two-front war. Well done, Biden administration. Take a bow. In a totally unrelated question, would the dominant winds on North America’s eastern seaboard blow radioactive fallout into Canada? Asking for a friend.
@Thucydides the Pureblood
“two-front war”?
Once Iran, Syria with their new Saudi friends get going it’s going to be a multi-front war. Afghanistan and Libya are sharpening the next ISIS style movements, South American dictators are meeting with Russia & China, and the African commies are licking their chops at all the new deals they will be afforded. Communist or radical Islam, decisions decisions.
Then on the home-front, other than Antifa burning down cities, the US can contend with increased inflow of Fentynl and espionage agents from the above mentioned countries through Open Borders to help work on the US military transgender concerns.
Paul!! Please follow the narrative!!
OTOH, we’re fucked!!
Kill the Uighur and harvest their organs: No problem.
Get caught spying as a Dem.: No problem.
Annex Tibet: No problem.
Fail to show solidarity with the WEF: Sanction time.
A little closer to World War. Not to worry tho justy and jagmeet will pay for all damages to your teeth and free China drugs for the pain while we use slingshots for our eventual invaders.
The invaders have been here for years!
This won’t push the Chinese onto the side of the Russians.
They want WWIII so badly just save a few seats in November.
Too bad they don’t all have neutron bombs.
Imagine, if all the urbanites disappeared, and left us with all the food, energy, etc, that we could ever want…factories could be a problem, though, but not one without a solution.
I like to think that a New World Chaos is coming, not a New World Order.
I like to think that herding humans is impossible on the long term, despite the evidence of my eyes and ears over the last 20 years.
“I like to think that a New World Chaos is coming, not a New World Order.”
The New World Order motto is “Order out of Chaos.” First the chaos destroys the old order, then it induces the populace to demand the imposition of new order.
Where have all the neutron bombs gone?
Long time passing….
When will they ever learn?
The mRNA jabs are much too slow!
The mRNA jabs are much too slow!
Yup. Once all us boomers have been killed by the nukes, the kiddies on SDA can finally rejoice.
A little late now, should have been sanctioning China many many years ago.
So try and get accustomed to an Eastern and a Western iron curtain, with half of South & Central America voting east.
Biden continues to leave the Borders wide open in the hopes of squeezing in a few more Chinese, Russian, Iranian espionage agents, as if the last 30 years haven’t settled enough in yet. Gee wonder why all those forest fires keep burning, must be Global Warming.
They really want a nuclear war.
No, they have not suddenly gained moral clariry. Any globalist who did that would do away with himself with whatever means came to hand.
No. They see a true workers’ and peasants’ movement arise under the leadership of men like Donald Trump. In the long term, stopping it from taking power is impossible. So they prefer to see the world destroyed rather than let their slaves know an hour of freedom.
It’ll escalate to chemical before nuclear:
When its obvious that Russia will take Ukraine, despite the Ukrainian’s plucky female soldiers, that’s when the west will use the chemical weapon excuse to escalate, or as cops put it “Stop resisting!”
Then it goes nuclear, and I’ll give you one guess as to which side makes that escalation real.
And I still maintain Russia is not interested in “taking Ukraine”. It wants to neutralize it and keep the Eastern half which is pure Russian.
I agree. They will eventually take the Donbass region and keep Crimea. All the death and blood shed could probably have been avoided by some good will negotiations on both sides.
When you are totally incompetent you will do anything to change the channel. Or should I have said incontinent?
Does anyone bother reading?
“It’s unclear as yet which and how many Chinese state officials will be impacted by the new visa restriction measures, which will effectively ban them from travel into the United States, and it’s an expansion of prior Trump restrictions”
It’s a nothing burger designed to win votes in November, by appearing tough on China.
The only thing missing is an appearance by Chairman Xi, and an ” I approve this message!” tag on the end.
You’re being played…. again.
The Chinese own creepy Joe.
Lock, stock and barrel.
So do the Ukrainians. How much lucre has been funneled to Joe through Burisma and Hunter? What did he promise them for the cash paid to Hunter including his 10 percent?
Let me tell you, having spent 10 years living with a Chinese commonlaw wife, you have zero idea how badly China has to retaliate over this. One does not insult the Chinese in public, amd expect to ever go to the bathroom unaided again.
The current western civilization is based on a few epistemological mistakes, therefore it will fail, and is in fact failing before our very eyes.
One of those mistakes is the fact that there are no monotonic values in biology.
Another is the “Tabula Raza” assumption of human nature.
I won’t get into mistakes like thinking that men can be women, or that theft is actually virtuous, as opposed to merely forgivable, when the victim and/or perp are of the right color, or that printing money at a breakneck speed is a good idea, which is an example of the fact that there are no monotonic values in biology, again, playing out before our very eyes,
If the US standards for applying sanctions are as Amb Blinken has stated, would that not also apply to Canadian Officials, and Canada?
Blinken: “The United States has taken action to impose visa restrictions on PRC officials for attempting to intimidate, harass, and repress dissidents and human rights defenders inside and outside of China.”
Hey, how about LPC officials in Canada?
China shima
China loves the Dems and the Dems loves dem China’s aka Fang Fang not to mention

And less we forget ten percent to the big guy.

I bet the blackmail material must be substantial given what we’ve seen on Hunter’s laptop and then there’s the small matter of a certain virus developing in time to secure the ouster of a sitting president. Hmmm. Just idle speculation. Well the last part… sort of…
There are very few coincidences.
Blinken went to the Frank Kellogg school of Sec. of Statism. That’s another way of saying he is a naïve idiot. In case you aren’t familiar with how effective Kellogg was…he, basically, thought that if you outlaw war, it won’t happen. Less than a decade after his efforts in that arena WW2 started. But, hey, he got a Nobel Peace Prize out of the deal.
Blinken’s evaluation of the Afghanistan situation was to suggest (I’m not making this up) that the Taliban will stay in line so as to protect their public persona. They don’t want to be a pariah. Apparently, Blinken skipped that history chapter about the Khmer Rouge. BLinken is, also, driving the resurgence of Iran allowing Japan and South Korea to invest billions into their cesspool of an economy while simultaneously spearheading “negotiations” to re-instate Obama’s little gift to them.
I’m pretty sure Blinken is as dumb as Biden. It’s a close race.
No one is this incompetent and Biden doesn’t even get to choose what flavor popsicle he gets at night. This is designed to push BRICS and destroy the dollar’s status as the world reserve currency. This will accelerate the crash of the US economy.
World War III, here we come. Are you happy now all you “stand with Ukraine” Trudeau-Schwab Davos Team useful idiots?
Please, No! China should be mollycoddled. What if an angry regeme pulls out all those college students who are in our fine educational institutions? I fear for the financial failure of our universities, already on wobbly legs because of Covid and Donald Trump. Appease China! Save our schools.
Since this is just one facet of the recent outbreak of mass psychosis, here’s a relative tidbit:
Ukraine Is the Ruling Class’s Latest Propaganda Ploy

An interesting link to a new radical centrist magazine.
China will give Biden his 10%, he will be happy and let them take Taiwan and there will be no war with the USA.
The Biden family is a crime family, as long as they get their RICO deals, everything will be fine.
I am not even kidding.
For some time I’ve been trying to track down a copy of this and it arrived today in the mail.
I’m afraid to open it now.
A good rule of thumb: when faced with a significant issue of any type, WHATEVER Biden chooses to do will be idiotic.
