He is pretty clueless about a few things, namely 1) China inflated an even bigger asset bubble in the form of real estate and they are using dumping and aggressive trade to keep afloat, and 2)the regime can be ended in a few months without importing food since it’s not self sufficient in terms of food supply

China owns a lot of food generation overseas, so while they may "import" it, they effectively own it.

Doesn’t really work that way
They have nuclear weapons and a massive army/navy. They sure can pressure Brazil to not mess with them.
I think there are multiple issues with nuking the country with your food supply
The article does a good chunk of fear mongering, so it's hard to take the stats at face value.
I want to know more details about that US vs China trade map. I've seen it before, and first off, it's not "primary trading partners" as the author said, it's the larger of the two. Like a country that trades 95% with its neighbors, 3% with China, 2% with US is red on that map. And idk if this is $ value traded in either direction or what.

let's do it!
starve these commies to death, 'a few months' later they'll enter a brighter future without communism!
