With that being said, I am not a big believer in sanctions as they often don't work ([https://www.piie.com/commentary/testimonies/evidence-costs-and-benefits-economic-sanctions like 35% success rate under certain conditions]) and they and also have unintended consequences (Often don't work as intended).[https://washingtondc.jhu.edu/news/do-sanctions-actually-work-experts-evaluate-the-efficacy-of-this-widely-used-foreign-policy-tool/][https://www.hoover.org/research/why-economic-sanctions-dont-work]
My past experience with Cyrus Jansenn is that he attempts to promote the idea that things are going great in China which is simply not true (High youth unemployment; real estate crisis, Chinese stock market has lost 7 trillion dollars in 3 years). See: <nowiki>[[Essay: It's time to be very bearish about China's long-term economy]] </nowiki>
The Chinese have been using stealth methods to undermine opponents and their morale for thousands of years and are still doing it today ([https://www.amazon.com/Stealth-War-China-While-Americas/dp/0593084349 Stealth War: How China Took Over While America's Elite Slept by Robert Spalding]).
"Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate." (An alternative translation: "Subtle and insubstantial, the expert leaves no trace; divinely mysterious, he is inaudible. Thus, he is master of his enemy's fate.")." - Sun Tzu [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 12:53, May 8, 2024 (EDT)
