Overthrowing China

The US have their sights on Venezuela, Iran, and Russia.

Fifty years ago, most Chinese were farmers, much as described in The Good Earth by Pearl Buck. They had a tiny farm, and had to do everything manually: no tractors, no oxen, primitive tools, they worked hard all day, every day during the growing season. They had to plow, plant, fertilise, water, and harvest by hand, and when the weather was bad, they didn't have enough to eat and some of their children starved to death.

Twenty years ago, electric machines did a lot of the work, there wasn't that much work for the farmers, just one going around to check on the machines and report any malfunctions so a replacement machine could be sent out. The farmers spent most of their time playing cards, and a lot left the farm and went to work in a city factory or office or university.

The farmers who left to work in the city had to pay someone to take their place on the farm since their ID card said, 'Farmer', and the shortages and starvation that had been a feature of Chinese life were indelibly written into the minds of the government workers who figured China needed everyone whose labour card said, 'Farmer' to be farming.

Just 20 years ago, most Chinese residential buildings were single story, with small, one room apartments for the ordinary Chinese, called the Lao Bai Xing (老百姓）, 10% of homes were without electricity, just about all without running water. In northern China, winters were cold, and so was the housing. Maybe they scrimped on food to buy a little coal to burn in the middle of their one-room apartment for heat.

Today, all housing in China has electricity and running water and cheap heat in winter: the coal is burned many kilometers from any city, used to heat water that is sent to the city in insulated pipes, and runs radiators, without any coal smoke in town (and filters on the plants that produce the hot water, so no big cloud of black smoke).

But to maintain their new lifestyle, China need energy, oil, gas, and they still use a lot of coal. More than twice as many cars as any other country. So they need lots of oil and gas, and, after the West refused to buy from Russia, Russia started selling a lot of their energy to China.

And China keeps rising and rising, but all this would stop if China could not buy any energy resources.

So Venezuela is first on the list. Under the Monroe Doctrine, everything in North, Central, and South America belongs to the US, so the US has every right to all Venezuelan oil, which China are buying.

The US imposed a Naval Blockade on Iran in 1980, and would not let anyone buy Iranian oil or gas, and made it difficult for anyone to buy anything else from Iran, or sell anything to Iran.

But, while Iran's economy fell by more than half under the US blockade, Iran grew enough food to feed themselves and made basic medicines, so no problem with common ailments (some people with rare diseases died, but not that many since they were rare diseases for which Iran had no treatment because of the blockade).

But then, in 2021, a fleet of oil tankers came to Iran. The US Navy ships blockading Iran saw that the oil tankers were protected by a larger fleet of Naval ships than the US had, so any engagement would just mean all the US ships at the bottom of the Persian Gulf (always the Arabian Gulf on the West Side, and always the Persian Gulf on the East Side of the Gulf), so the US Navy ships withdrew, and the oil tankers bought and filled up with every drop of Iranian oil that Iran had available to sell. And those tankers and Naval ships keep coming and coming to Iran to buy up all the Iranian oil. So a much stronger reaction is needed, and Israel say they will nuke Iran, making all the oil too radioactive to use, so that will cut off the second of the main sources of Chinese energy.

Then, if we can use the Ukraine to destroy Russia, and return all that Russian oil to the rightful US owners, that will greatly reduce China's energy resources, and should cause a collapse of the Chinese economy, and the US will remain the unquestioned Global Hegemon.

Israel got the US into the Iran war by threatening to use nukes, but Iran is still there, and next time, Israel might destroy Iran with nukes, after which Iranian oil will be too radioactive to use, and China will have lost two of their biggest energy suppliers, and should be on the way to total collapse.
