POPSChina threatens 'nuclear option' of dollar sales China has the chips. So the question is what do they want? To continue selling the US stuff on tick which is what keeps its industries growing. Or call in the debt and kiss good-bye to growth. It is unlikely that the policymakers know themselves. So, if in doubt, do nothing, even if that makes for even greater risk. What else can they do? I suppose they could renounce the doctrine of growth and industrialisation, and blame the devastation on the capitalist running dogs. (And they would be right, too). The call would be - go back to the villages of your revered ancestors, and the nobility of self-sufficient poverty. It would be the Great Leap Backward to true ancient Chinese values, expressed in Confucius and the I Ching and Taoism and Buddhism. From this perspective, destroying the sacred land to make rubbish for Americans to buy on tick, is a sin of the highest order
