the "wei ji" / crisis of trade war is meant by all sides to move the dial, one way or another, or one way then another. whichever the case, the danger is playing-wrong, and the opportunity is playing-right, or right-&-right, as opposed to wrong-&-right, right-&-wrong, or worst and least satisfying, wrong-&-wrong-again am guessing that - china has no particular reason to sell T-bills other than (i) cannot afford to buy, (ii) not wise to buy, or (iii) do not have trade-generated USD to buy, all of which is a function of what Potus chooses to do, per exercise of free-will expression underpinning free (voluntary) trade - whatever the reasons, as the T-bills are off loaded, necessarily, by definition of team usa reducing trade deficit w/ team china, or - that no new T-bills are bid for because there is no USD w/ which to bid - then the option of pulling the sudden-cardiac-arresting rare-earth rug becomes less self-defeating (for if and when pulled, the value of T-bills held at any given moment would vaporise instantly, or the share market goes to no-bid zero unless the company owns an operating rare earth mine w/ full processing facilities across the entire spectrum of dirt, since having access to one dirt most likely is not efficacious without other dirt flavours - Intel would stop manufacturing if it is short any one particular flavour of needed dirt out of all required flavours of dirt, a guess) and more sensible with a trade counter-party which does not wish to trade, per definition of free-trade / free-not-to-trade - free-trade is a two-way street let us see if the world can be sent back to the stone ages of 20xx less a decade (of internet time) without rockets fired or bombs going off, as the AMD and Intels gets shutdown and Huawei's and ZTEs go double shift (albeit with chips only suitable for africa, but without the needed ingredients, the world would share much more with africa than simply air) in such an eventuality of tranquil war per peaceful rise, everything would be less, relative to something, for the DNA lattice of the world (that which we call ChiAmerica) would be ripped asunder. am pondering what the something might be. Academically an interesting question, that may turn out to have potentially useful answers. the answer is not any to-be-nationalised dirt company. let me quote myself, am reminded that the words group meaning "crisis" is constituted from two other words ...

a view from Greed & fear ... ... if turns out to be true, then extremely bullish, for gold (but G&f sees possible 1,050 gold just as Martin Armstrong figures 900 gold; close enough for government works) for it posits that the economic war is about to go full-on whatever the negative consequences, currencies weaponised, for maximum disruption, even as the very fabric of the world, along with its global dna chromo-lattice is ripped asunder in such a scenario, all CB prints, 1929, 1934, etc etc leading on the eventual zero-state monetary reset
