E-mail to Congress:
EIN News says, "China PLA Officers Urge Economic Punch Against U.S. Senior Chinese military officers have proposed that their country boost defense spending, adjust PLA deployments, and possibly sell some U.S. bonds to punish Washington for its latest round of arms sales to Taiwan. The calls for broad retaliation over the planned U.S. weapons sales to the disputed island came from officers at China's National Defense University and Academy of Military Sciences. (reuters.com)".
This is basically how Reagan forced the collapse of the Soviet Bloc. He increased significantly US military spending. The Soviets tried to keep up but did not have the resources. They overspent and their whole economic system collapsed.
The present situation is reversed and a little different. The US of its own volition has decided to overspend on various projects unrelated to the military. This makes it especially easy for the Chinese. With the US teetering on the edge of economic collapse. The Chinese will increase their own military spending, which will force us over the edge in an effort to keep up. An economically collapsed US will have no ability to assist Taiwan in its defense, no matter how many inoperable war machines it may have. Forget the punishment aspect. It is all opportunistic against an enemy that is already in a weakened condition.
