The West Is Shooting Its OWN FOOT Trying To Isolate China | Warwick Powell

It would be funny, if it wasn’t so tragic, that the Collective West believes it can somehow “contain“ China or beat it into submission, when it is clearly Beijing that has the economic upper-hand in the global economic game. The best indication of that is how “decoupling“ has spectacularly failed and the visit of Jennet Yellen to Beijing has been ample evidence that the US has lost most if not all global competitive advantage. At the same time, western policies are now hurting western economies more than the Chinese or Russians. But will they ever understand that it is their own policies that create local downturns?
