China state media reports that China's top economic planner has
authorized power plants to import coal without clearance restrictions
from several countries "except for Australia." This implies that
China is formalizing its ban on imported Australian coal. Australian
coal been informally banned for months in the sense that dozens of
vessels carrying Australian coal have been stranded offshore, blocked
from entering China's ports.
China began an economic war on Australia in April, with economic
boycotts and blacklisting of imports from Australia, when Australia
called for an international investigation on the origins of the
coronavirus pandemic. China responsed by telling Australian
officials, "China is angry. If you make China the enemy, China will be
the enemy."
Australia has also criticized China over the arrest of millions
of Uighurs and imprisoning them in concentration camps. These
criticisms have also infuriated the Chinese Communists.
The ban on Australian coal imports has not yet been officially
confirmed by the Chinese Communists. However, the state media report
is another escalation in China's war of threats, extortion and bribery
against Australia.

**** New evidence of massive slavery of Uighurs in China
****
China's escalating economic war on Australia comes at a time of newly
discovered documents that provide a clear picture of how up to a
million Uighurs are being forced into slavery in manufacturing, in
garment making, and in picking of cotton.
It's been obvious for years that this has been going on, as I've
written in the past. Xi Jinping is an admirer of Adolf Hitler, who
created one of the largest forced labor systems in history: Over
twenty million foreign civilian workers, concentration camp prisoners
and prisoners of war from all of the occupied countries were required
to perform forced labor in Germany.
The picking of cotton is a particularly emotional issue because
American black slaves were forced to pick cotton for their white
masters, prior to the freeing of the slaves by Abraham Lincoln. Xi
Jinping is going in the opposite direction of Abraham Lincoln. Xi
Jinping is forcing more and more Uighurs to pick cotton for their
Chinese Communist masters. It's likely that Tibetans and other
minorities are being treated the same way. China supplies 20%
of the world's cotton.

**** China's delusional geopolitical strategy
****
A web site reader has forwarded to me an investment newsletter written
by an analyst close to the Chinese Communist Party that describes Xi
Jinping's geopolitical strategy over the next five years for gaining
hegemony over the entire world. It could have come from China's
Central Committee. It's a breathtaking plan, comparable to similar
plans by such historical luminaries as Adolf Hitler and Julius Caesar.
I'll be posting a full analysis at some point, but here's a summary:
Guided by China's leadership, countries throughout Africa, Asia and
the Mideast will put aside their disagreements. Old hatreds will be
mended by necessity, to attract capital for investments. These
include countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, India, and Pakistan. China
will create a "global colossal," of dozens of countries in a massive
multi-country partnership, bound together by China's Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI).
The plan specifies concessions to be made by one nation after another
to "mend old hatreds," but it doesn't contain a single example of
China making any concession whatsoever.
According to the newsletter: "The big question is how America will
respond to the challenge of connecting so much of the world through
trade and peace. Their containment policy has failed so far. The
choice is either to join this more peaceful venture or to fight it.
If the latter choice is adopted it will result in a global war between
America and its remaining allies and the combined forces of China and
Russia."
This is a completely delusional fantasy, of course, but it feeds into
the Chinese Communist and Confucian view that they're the Master Race,
and the rest of us are barbarians, with no other purpose than to work
and make tribute to the Chinese, in the same way that donkeys work for
farmers.
****
**** Cognitive dissonance
****
As Leon Festinger has shown, the problem with a person having a
totally delusional fantasy is that when something goes wrong, the
person suffers cognitive dissonance and desperately doubles down on
the fantasy, trying to make it come true. In countries, this only
happens when the country is a dictatorship, where no one can challenge
the fantasy view without being jailed, tortured or executed. That
explains what happened in Mao Zedong's disastrous Great Leap Forward
in the late 1950s. In Xi Jinping's case, this could involve Chinese
military action that leads to a regional war, spreading to a world
war.
China's delusional geopolitical strategy has been fed a powerful
drug-like boost this year by the Chinese Communists' apparent success
with the Wuhan Coronavirus. Donald Trump is the first president in
decades to stand up to the Chinese, rather than appeasing them. At
the beginning of 2020, it appeared that Trump would coast to
re-election. But instead, China's intentional spread of Wuhan
Coronavirus to countries around the world, including the United
States, has resulted in the election of Joe Biden who, along with his
son Hunter Biden and other Democrats, have totally compromised
relationships with China. At the very least, China can expect to use
threats, bribery and extortion on the Bidens and the Democrats to
force the US to return to a policy of full-scale appeasement.
This apparent victory would be like a drug to the Xi Jinping, who is
convinced that their plan of global hegemony is working.
But an example of what can go wrong occurred in April when Australia
called for an international investigation of the source of the
pandemic. China responded by telling Australian officials, "China is
angry. If you make China the enemy, China will be the enemy." Such an
investigation would derail the Chinese plan, and so they doubled down
on their strategy by declaring economic war on Australia.
The Chinese Communists will certainly consider this to be another
victory since, we assume, no other country would now dare to call for
an international investigation of the source of the pandemic. China's
policy of threats, bribery and extortion has won again.
