U.S. in early discussions on sanctions against China to deter it from invading Taiwan -sources

Sheeesh.. interesting timing for the US make moves like this. A deteriorating property market and weakening debtors of the belt/road initiative spell trouble for China.

Seems more escalatory than a deterrent.

The US should also pre-emptively sanction Pooh Bears boyfriend.

obvious message to China for China's #3 man's words...

Cooperation between China and Russia should be strengthened in light of Western sanctions on the two countries, China’s No 3 official said before he wrapped up his trip to Russia last week.

Both USA and China is in financial crisis, it would make worse for both.. No wonder...

a good move, before China colonizes Taiwan... embargoes all Chinese retail products
