CHINA: WE BROUGHT YOU COVID. WE’RE #1

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year 2020! That’s when China launched the COVID War.
Remember the 24/7 news on how they were building hospitals in just weeks to handle the sweeping pandemic in the Wuhan province?
Remember our 28 January cover of the Trends Journal? CORONAVIRUS: 106 DEAD IN CHINA – 1.4 BILLION STILL ALIVE. THE NEW BLACK PLAGUE?

In the United States, with a population of some 330 million, to date, 188,172 have died from the virus.
To date, just 4,740 died in China from COVID-19. While most will say China is downplaying the number of its citizens who actually died from it, even if they were pushing it down by high double digits, China’s coronavirus death rate is still low.
As the U.S. and other major economies across the globe sink lower, as detailed in our economic sections in the Trends Journal and reported in our Trends in The News videos, China’s “duel circulation” (self-sustaining) economy is on the rebound.
Having successfully contained the virus, the Chinese government is doing what is unthinkable in America and much of the world. The message President Xi Jinping is relaying to its citizens is that the best way to battle the virus is to focus on fitness, get in shape, and eat healthy.
After closing gyms and other physical venues for two months, these facilities were allowed to reopen last April, while most of the modern world continued to force them to stay closed.
Wang Juanli, who operates a yoga studio in Beijing, said, “After the pandemic, people have a higher health awareness and realize the importance of keeping fit.”
TREND FORECAST: The 20th century was the American century. Throughout the century, the business of America has been war.
 The 21st century will be the Chinese century. The business of China is business.
For nearly a decade, Gerald Celente has forecast societies that would thrive in the age of globalization and economic contractions would be “self-sustaining.” The Chinese government’s “dual circulation” policy, articulated by its leader Xi Jinping, is that it must retool in a world of declining economic demand and rely less on exports and more on robust domestic demand, thus becoming more self-sustaining.
“The world has entered a period of turbulence and transformation,” said President Jinping, telling the nation to continue focusing on improving its manufacturing capabilities and technology advancements to “face an external environment with even more headwinds and counter currents.”
 Indeed, what China is doing to position itself for the future is unique among major nations.
