As the Petrodollar implodes another system and wars explode.  
p.s.  China has not even begun to to retaliate with restrictions to the U.S. yet. We'll see what happens when the blockades tighten up. They just want to control China not take it over unless they really want to go kinetic.

I don't think that saying  "China subsidizes that's why" is enough. We subsidize wildly not to mention that you can't even buy a BYD in the U.S. if you wanted to.    Free trade is now the undoing of the U.S.   We need immigrants.
