    In China, people are rioting because the government run banks decided to just take everyone's money.

    Protest in China over frozen bank accounts ends in violence

    A rare large-scale protest in China’s central Henan province has been violently broken up by unidentified security personnel, amid outcry over a financial scandal that has exposed the fragility of the country’s banking system.

    A crowd of more than 1,000 protesters, according to some estimates, had gathered on Sunday in front of the Zhengzhou sub-branch of the People’s Bank of China to attempt to recover frozen savings held in rural banks.





    Footage reviewed by the Guardian showed protesters demanding local authorities help them retrieve their savings. Some held banners that said: “Henan banks, give me my money back!”, while others called for China’s premier, Li Keqiang, to personally intervene.

    Sri Lanka's opposition parties hope to install a new government amid the turmoil

    COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka's opposition political parties were meeting Sunday to agree on a new government a day after the country's president and prime minister offered to resign in the most dramatic day of monthslong political turmoil, with protesters storming both leaders' homes and setting fire to one of the buildings in a rage over the economic crisis.

    Protesters remained in President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's home, his seaside office and the prime minister's residence, saying they will stay until they officially resign. Soldiers were deployed around the city and Chief of Defense Staff Shavendra Silva called for public support to maintain law and order.
    ...
    "Today in this country we have a fuel crisis, a food shortage, we have the head of the World Food Program coming here and we have several matters to discuss with the IMF," Wickremesinghe said. "Therefore, if this government leaves there should be another government."

    Sri Lanka is a "Democratic Socialist Republic" and in debt up to it's eyeballs to China. Basically a Chinese puppet.

    I think China has taken a page from Canada's playbook.

      China is in deep do-do right now financially. Maybe they can get Hunter to give them a refund?

        Dear Democrats,

        Please take a look at Sri Lanka.

        That is what an actual insurrection looks like

        Thanks.

          So while Hunter expects his payoff and old Joe awaits his "Big Guy" 10% cut for selling our Strategic Oil reserve to them, they might get told that the check is in the mail?

              Maybe the Oil was Biden refunding Hunter's fees to the Chinese?

                Hunter had been kept under wraps for awhile now, but suddenly reappeared around the 4th and was seen hanging with old Joe for a few days after.

                Then we get news that old Joe released more oil from the Strategic Reserve.

                And those picked to handle it happen to be the group that Hunter had deep ties with.

                And they happen to ship a bunch of the oil to China.

                Things that make you go hmm

                  Joe is currently considering removing all tariffs against China.
                  Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                  But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                  Than a fool in the eyes of God

                    I am of two minds with regards to helping China.

                    1. Good, let them fail.
                    2. Better to help them than to make them desperate causing them to do something stupid like invade Taiwan.

                      Excepting that helping them by lifting all tariffs will end up hurting us, both short and long term

                        C'monman! Here's the deal. Build Back Better is a bottom up concept. It's just that old Joe hasn't taken the country to the bottom just yet.
