China-related prepping?

[DTF370]

It’s no surprise here that things have been heating up with China. Of course fear-mongering is a thing and we constantly hear doom and gloom. I’m just curious if you guys have made any changes or adjustments to your theory of prep work in light of recent/current events?

It’s almost like a former president suggested not being so reliant on China for our supply

I believe that it is best to take an "all hazards" approach. Also evaluate where the most likely disruptions are. It is more likely my power goes out due to weather or my weather heater dies, or a pipe breaks than having to fight off 1000 screaming China men.

Due to recent events involving China, I now watch the employees more carefully whenever I order at Panda Express

I don’t know about in Oklahoma, but here in east TX all the employees of Chinese restaurants are Mexicans.

Ever since I saw my parents almost go broke prepping for Y2K (we lived near a bunch of Mormons in Northern Arizona) I’ve always considered myself as an economic prepper more than a doomsday one.

Modern China has never been a direct confrontation type nation. The whole Taiwan thing is blown up. They’re not Russia.

They can wage economic war though, and although I believe we would win, it would be painful for the everyday American.

Economic prepping to me is being able to fix anything I own, and having enough essentials to make it a through a hard couple of years. I don’t think we’re on the precipice of collapse, but we’re definitely heading towards a very contentious geopolitical economic war. Preparing for that is more about getting used to being inconvenienced more than having a stockpile of stuff IMO.

Hell, the Panda by me is all run by Hispanics.
