Whats the likelihood of this happening? Or would you say there are bigger plans, and if so what would you say they are. This is too big of an opportunity for China to let it slip through its hands, that's for sure. It can also whether this through way longer than the US. China has the systems for its people to be housed, fed, and educated even with high unemployment and also the ability to quickly pivot to government run projects to increase employment. The US does not. The US is completely reliant on near full private employment. China can more easily switch to self sufficiency than nearly any other global power. They are the most prepared for a slow down. They are the most prepared for an energy crisis. They are the most prepared to defend themselves.

It aslo doesn't want Iran to fall into the hands of the U.S to avoid a situation where the US has leverage over it by controlling its last source of energy that is not controlled by its adversary - the US?

Another concern is not wanting to lose a very strategic region? The strait of Hormuz situation has shown us just how vital the region is to the entire world. Why would any nation (let alone the next in line for the superpower throne) not only relinquish their foot from it, but hand it completely over to their adversary? The US has been very adversarial in both its rhetoric and dealings with China since 2016, and has made it clear that it very much does not want it to advance. This Hormuz situation directly strips away power from the US that could otherwise be used against it. Therefore, why would China give back energy that would undoubtedly be used against it?

EV sales worldwide have gone up significantly (BYD reportedly by 71% since last month), so wouldn't it make sense to not want to put a stop to the accelerated market infiltration and domination it is experiencing? Countries are also increasingly moving towards China, specifically because of current situations. Why hamper that win? Why not prolong or even increase what's causing it?

The adage “never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake" is usually thrown around whenever China is brought up regarding current situations, however, inactivity means your enemy's ability to quickly recover, and come (back) after you.

So considering all of this, perhaps a BYD and Huawei wouldn't be a big enough fish to fry?

I was cooking last night, making some chicken breasts. I had spilled some soda on my pants, so I was cooking without pants on. I was moving some trays around and I accidentally dropped a chicken breast on the floor. But it hit my penis before it hit the floor. This morning my penis seems like it is inflamed and the peehole hurts if I touch it. Is it possible I got salmonella poisoning?
