China stockpiling oil? Preparing to invade Taiwan?
The Vodkapundit postulates about the Chinese economy, oil consumption, and Taiwan. Neither he, nor I, like how it reads.
I’ve been wary of the ChiComs for a long time now, and that bit of blogging reinforces my wariness. The responses to the post also uderscore my wariness. This stuff smells. Smells BAD.
They’ve ramped up their blue water capacity. They’ve been unusually “overt”. They’ve even acted in a non insular manner of late. This is not your “old” China.
I hope ComSubPac is ready - they’re going to have to shut down the SLOCs to China soon, I wager.
