When you are at war, you target the enemy supply lines. A cunning move by the smart Panda targets Joe Biden’s domestic inflation vulnerability.
Beijing can see Joe Biden under internal political attack caused by massive domestic inflation. China also knows Biden is weak strategically, handcuffed by the leftist demand for climate change / energy policy, and Beijing can see the administration trying to deflect from the consequences of their economic and energy policy.
After the U.S-China summit, used by cunning panda to size up the potential for backlash, anything China can do to further gain dominant position is now just a matter of easy chess moves on the board of dependency.
Business Insider – China’s strict COVID-19 quarantines are making it difficult for ships to change crews, contributing to lags in the shipping process that could worsen the supply chain crisis.
The country has a zero-Covid policy and is imposing ever more stringent containment measures as it tackles its latest wave of outbreaks. On Halloween night, for example, 30,000 people were locked inside Shanghai Disneyland after just one COVID-19 case was detected. And in the northern city of Shenyang, arriving overseas travelers face a 56-day quarantine.
Now, the export hub is imposing mandatory quarantines of up to seven weeks — around 49 days — for Chinese seafarers returning from overseas, Bloomberg reported. These take place in designated facilities and are typically paid for by the employers, according to information posted on various China shipping websites.
The country has also banned crew changes for foreign seafarers, the media outlet reported. Even ships that had their crews changed out elsewhere need to wait before they can enter Chinese ports, Bloomberg added. (read more)
The team behind Joe Biden are playing checkers while Xi Jinping is playing chess.
This is the reverse scenario to how President Trump played the leverage game with Beijing.
Donald Trump saw China as the dependent nation in the geopolitical game of economics. Beijing needed access to our markets more than we needed the Chinese products; and Trump treated them that way. However, JoeBama sees the U.S. economy as dependent on China, and from that perspective Xi Jinping has the leverage.
Biden will acquiesce to the demands of the panda mask, and the red dragon wants the Trump tariffs removed. Team Xi will now hint that supply chains might speed up again if Trump era tariffs are removed, and Biden will give in because all his policies make him the dependent.
Place your bets.
This is exactly what happens when people become TOO DEPENDENT on foreign goods. I thought we learned that lesson at least 40 to 50 years ago, but apparently it either didn’t last or America really didn’t learn a thing after WW2.
This is going to affect everyone but the rich. Possibly this is why biden isn’t worried. Also because he and his family, personally, will not be affected at all.

Liked as well. Unable to up vote (Firefox browser).
Chrome, Opera and Firefox…Can anyone throw any light on this problem ??
Also taking a minute or so to upload the comment.
I run the Firefox browser. The up button is working, but it’s very slow to record.
Here as well. FF works but slowly.
Try using Brave.
Our nation was so fully protected with many things made here. Now we rely on chingchong for everything and we are over as a Republic. Stock up and get ready.
It doesn’t appear Xiden is worried about much these days…outside of his next ice cream break.
Life is easy for you when you have dementia. It’s everyone else around you picking up the pieces.
“Catch” a company destroying the environment, pass environmental protection laws and move the companies to Asia.

Anyone else on an iPad having trouble up-voting comments?
Yes. Even on a DT computer.
Agree
I am having a problem too – but on a desktop – thus writing “liked” and posting as a reply
On my laptop….can’t say(yes) but can make a comment just to wait about 2 minutes.
all day
There’s a 30 second time delay on posting and voting. Known issue.
I have experienced that in the past from my IPad
Yup!
Yes
Probably not a client-side issue.
Cunning Panda only wins by cheating.
Why does China like Biden? Buy one, get the second one free.
liked!
Maybe the Chinese has liked every President since JFK except Reagan because they ALL had a reasonable price, especially the Clintons, EXCEPT for Trump; HE HAD NO PRICE, and they hated it. Then in slinks the Biden clan with ZERO morals and an insatiable appetite for bribes, whores, deals & corruption which the Chinese understand very well. Their quest for world domination is now EASILY in reach this decade.
“Then in slinks the Biden clan”
iNSERTED with MUCH help from the CCP. They already own the Bidens and half of DC
LET’S GO BRANDON!
We are so F’d…
China risks destabilizing the US economy to the point that Trump’s re-election is nearly assured (barring voter fraud). In the long run, this could be beneficial.
China owns Joe.
Hildabeast is already out prophesying that biden will do away with President Trump’s tariffs.
The game is already in play.
Her “husband,” Billy Jeff Clinton, started all of this with RINO support by “opening up China to U.S. markets” and approving “high technology transfers” to the Chinese under the illusion that such deals would teach them the joys of freedom.
Instead it taught them that DEMS are suckers.
That flunky and his enablers are so easy to be played! And the media play along!
I’ve been thinking… played or bought?!
Bought. Along with many in Congress.
What a stupid administration this is. They are cowards the whole lot.
They are not stupid. This is exactly what they want. They want the destruction of a Constitutional Capitalist America. People need to realize we are presently under Communist/Fascist/ Totalitarian power and control.
Every nation, including the USA should carefully read the fine print before entering any agreement with China where a repayment schedule is set up.
China just took ownership of
Uganda’s Entebbe International Airport & Other Assets Over $207m LoanThe payments were late.
My bet is on Xi being incahoots with Brandon. Everyone wants to reduce demand to avert inflation as much as possible.
So they both slow imports to the US to a trickle.
Brandon will pay back Xi by giving him Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Supply goes down and prices go up.
You gotta think like a Communist. Supply goes down, justifies prices going up.
You see, inflation is all your fault because of Glowbull Worming and racism.
The cuddly panda can be VICIOUS !
They have this impotent Biden regime cornered.
The Biden regime is totally compromised by China. So is Senator McConnel.
Who in DC isn’t compromised by China ? Anybody ? Mitch married his honeypot.
And Fartwell was bangin fang fang, An Feinstein had her Chinese driver for years, and usv. usv.
Biden and Xi are working together to build back America worser. The illegitimate Biden regime exists in part thanks to the CCP after all. They are both at war with the American people.
Hate to have to think along these lines. But, was in Home Depot and noticed light bulbs were running low on the shelves. Seems only China makes them. So, bought a whole bunch – just in case.
Thanks, Joe!
Maybe they just got looted
Why would China place their greatest asset in danger?

Don’t buy anything online from those people in CCP. They can be recognized by their names.
California gas been doing the same thing! Like Covid virus can actually live outdoors! Ignorance of science and overregulation, plus California has their emissions standards for trucks, further adding to the port pike up.
Well yes but why would the CCP, who has it pretty good with this addled, old, corrupt loon in the WH, want to damage him further?
Biden will take away the tariffs not because he sees the US as being too dependent but because he and his associates are making a fortune from doing business with China and giving them what they want. It’s purely a matter of corruption.
Do less business with China and the China supply chain won’t be as effective, LOL.
Why build up the economy of a nation who has plans to destroy you militarily and biologically? It is trade which has built up the Chinese economy, it is western consumption that has made them the powerhouse they are today. If you think you have an enemy you should not be building him up. Duh!
My biggest unanswered question is why has the USA been funding Chinese gain of function research which can be used for biological weapons? No one has answered this question.
“KowTow” said the Foreign Minister, “KowTow!!!”. All the tributory states banged their heads on the floor and groveled nearer the emperor. “And what brings you here Joseph Biden?”. “I was summoned your excellency and I came.” Biden
asked if he was permitted to rise and sit up. “Tributory states sit on the floor like monkeys”, said the Foreign Minister. Biden understood, his money, his son’s money, all depended on the beneficience of the Emperor. “Do not forget old man, when I destroy America I will also destroy you, your drug besotted son, your adultress wife, and your drug riddled children.” Biden begged the Emperor for mercy. “I will give you America as your own kingdom. I will give you its people to enslave. I will give China all the natural wealth it contains.” “You will give me nothing monkey. China will take what she wants”. “Be it so as you have said my lord”.
