Not after Covid, where they saw their neighbors and family literally boarded up in their homes, doors welded shut, and the decomposed bodies carried out months later. These people are traumatized. They haven't been paid for months while they're still working and making profits for the company. Now they're saying "FUCK YOU!" and burning the whole damn thing down.
Another recent phenomenon is the installation of bollards everywhere in response to "crimes against society." This is what they call vehicle attacks. People go bankrupt, or have their money stolen by flimsy banks, or just get fed up "eating bitter" as a slave in China and they lash out by running over children outside schools or people in wealthy shopping districts. China is fucked, dude.
Nah, fires are dangerous and everyone can see them, plus you lose the capital investment and you can't undo it quickly, so you have no leverage. If you want to create a shortage for international leverage, there's a million bureaucratic ways to do it. "Oh these products are unsafe, your factory permit expired, we're investigating corruption, the shipment is uninsured, there's a covid outbreak" on and on, and there's a mandatory ccp officer in every factory so it's easy to do. The government can also just buy the products and dump them in a field somewhere, they did this with electric cars and scooters.
They'd be shooting themselves in the foot, since the quickest way to deal with the shortages would be to move production instead of waiting for the Chinese factories to be rebuilt.
I wonder if the CCP is actually behind this, making the world have shortages of whatever got made there
The totalitarian omni-surveillancing govt that needs to install suicide nets in factories because of how "awesome" it is to work there?
...honestly I'm not sure. Uncharacteristic of the bug people to have that strong of an action from the "ground up" though
Well, as a soft reminder China is well known for its history of bloody and extremely violent civil wars.

If this is true, it’s got the same energy of Iran(I think) trying to flood the US oil market with oil.
President Trump will reinforce that the US wilk product manufacturing here and honey it cheaper taxes.
