They’re priming their audiences. They’ve been suggesting that a Chinese economic collapse would directly cause an American depression.
That’s what they’ve decided to go with to deflect blame once the panic of another American depression hits. The bourgeoise knows the general audience is racist enough to accept those evil Chinese commies are causing their problems no matter how many backflips the logic has to do for it to connect. They’re scared to accept blame, they’re scared it won’t work out like 2008 where they all got off scott free so they need to sow the seeds of their alibis before it happens.
I expect them to publish a bunch of totally fabricated stories about China collapsing and pulling America down with them once America sinks into a depression. Better to scapegoat an entire country and allow citizens to take out their rage on the Chinese ethnic minority living in America than to take an ounce of blame. Hmmm sounds familiar.
