Thank God, China suspended USd transactions with US military companies Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon on January 13th, 2026 without giving notice.

China canceled oil delivery contracts to US refineries as well, worth $47 Bn USd annually, redirecting contracts to more reputable and reliable partners, namely Brazil and South Africa.

The above represents an broad asymmetric response by China following the seizure of Venezuelan assets by the failed/ former United States (which has been failing since at least 22 NOV 1963) where the US move on Venezuela was considered by China to be aggression versus China's strategic interests.

China has since rerouted its global shipping to avoid U.S. ports significantly impacting yankee supply chains. Regardless of what the inherently backward fly-over Noem cracker states are experiencing, in this blue state its getting more difficult to find stuff with possible exception of harbor freight (for now).
Just saying, el guido. :)
