Now, appearing globally weak & ineffective at controlling the economy, the democrats step up. I wouldn't be surprised if this idea was proposed by the CCP.

What better way to give the appearance of strength to the democrats in the run-up to the midterms? Grandstand in front of China on behalf of "democracy". Note that Pelosi does not say "freedom".

The Chinese would far prefer to extend the governance of the US by the Democratic party. They could in no way effect as much disaster upon us through their own actions
