USA is struggling to come up with some new financial engineering trick that can deal with the problem that China has won the trade war and without Chinas supply of Rare Earths the US military Industrial combine is crippled - USA cannot fight a war of any scale - nor can its credibly threaten to without the rare earths supply that China has cornered.

Time to deal with reality- financial engineering does not produce any real goods - it just creates illusory wealth and more debt.

Chinas mercantile mixed economy has beaten the wests neoliberalised-financialised capitalism-imperialism. Most westerners do not even realise it yet.
