Looks like the virus wasn't as effective as hoped. Plan "B" being rushed into place. Probably going to rattle sabres hard before election to scare public into seeking peace with China. The Brits are going to be pushing the issue with HK, with the reneging of democratic promises made there. Xi likes bending Chinese citizens to his will. He will find some countries don't play that.
India ain't scared to nuke Chinese cities, Xi's bullying with his neighbors is going to hurt China soon. If India jumps on them, others may join in on a different front.
Reminds me, need to get ammo before prices go up.
