Do not leave out the arctic, for that is arguably part of continuous Siberia.
Conquest is not in the cards at all. Joint development for sustainable greater-good is a given. No alt-mathematics work.
Experiments underway to pilot-out the bugs.
The trade warriors walked into the inevitable, inexorably. The nature point of destination, aka destiny, can be excel-modelled.
The long-game is win-win for the greater good. Team America was invited to but went thumbs-down on One Belt One Road. Team Russia went thumbs up. Soon enough teams Japan and S Korea, along w/ Germany and France, shall have to decide for selves as team Trump leaves them dangling. a guess.
In the meantime ...

Asked two more moms
One retiree, noted that do not eat so much meat and not noticing anything other than usual price increases across all groceries, and heard about the issue re pigs.
Second interviewee, shopkeeper, does not eat large chunks of meat, have not changed consumption habit, noticed seasonal change of egg pricing
Shall ask restaurant keepers this day
So far pig issue is a fizzer

One everyday person, a mom of two, secretary, did not notice anything at all about pork or her consumption of it.
One, mom of one, and another, single lady, stopped pork consumption due to health / safety concerns, as opposed to pricing / availability. Iow, they simply swapped protein source.
The survey has at least equal validity as a casual stroll through some random department store, but / and is telling-enough.
Shall continue survey in course of this day.
Am wondering if pork upward re-pricing tempered by demand decline. Iow, no big deal.
If so, onward w/ the trade war.
W/r to rmb exchange rate, 7 was a non-issue, and am guessing 8 is a shoe-in, 9 a warmup, 10 is okay, etc etc
No worse than interest rate at zero point zero or sporting a negative sign.

China isn’t buying or importing any soybeans - even if there was no trade war.
Their hog population is getting decimated.
If you want to know why pork, bacon, sausage prices go up in the next six months, it is not due to Trump or the Fed. It is because of China.

SNIP:
Rabobank estimates that China could lose up to 200 million pigs to disease or slaughter during the epidemic, almost three times the pig population in the United States, adding that there is not enough pork in “the whole world combined” to fill the potential shortfall in China.
“The whole of the world’s pigs combined wouldn’t be enough for China. The over 20 million pigs raised in Denmark can satisfy the demand of just one Chinese city,” one of the executives at the Chinese state-controlled pork trading company said.

Amazing that the suspect media was reporting “it is all worth it, farmers say” not so very long ago.
