Gordon Chang on Trump’s Warning to China about NoKo Oil Sales: ‘A Trade War Is a Lot Better than a Real War’

‘If the U.S. wanted to, they could push China over the edge’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CHANG: "We talked about clearing Chinese banks primary laundering money concerns. We have the section 301 trade investigation of China stealing intellectual property. As a section 232. They’ve accumulated a lot of debt in order to avoid a downturn in 2008. David debt to GDP ratio which is somewhere between 350% and 425%. That’s a catastrophic territory. You can’t get any higher than that. If the U.S. wanted to, they could push China over the edge. We don’t want to do that for certain reasons, but as you say, a trade war is a lot better than a real war."
