China’s Power Problems Expose a Strategic Weakness
By Keith Bradsher, 10/13/21, NY Times
BEIJING — A bread company can’t get all the power it needs for its bakeries. A chemicals supplier for some of the world’s biggest paint producers announced production cuts. A port city changed electricity rationing rules for manufacturers four times in a single day.
There are no "shortages". They're stockpiling food, oil, coal, and strategic resources. They expect a long, drawn-out conventional war with the West.
When things go nuclear, it'll all be for naught.
Read it for yourself:

Yet the Chingchongs continue to bray that this "stockpiling" is to
"fight Covid-19".
Yeah, SURE...
