Of course, to believe this, one has to assume that everything the US government says about China is believable.

Given the panic with which the US government and economic leaders view the rise of the Chinese economy and Chinese influence in the world, I blow these sorts of stories off in a heartbeat.

Idiots and racists in the US continue to believe the US - with one-fourth the population of China (and a mostly uneducated one-fourth at that) and a dying economy - can somehow turn itself around and beat China in technological advancement and economic prosperity.

Good luck with that. "That ain't gonna happen."

And if the US tries to use Taiwan as a stalking horse against China, as it did with Ukraine against Russia, it will find three or four carrier battle groups at the bottom of the Pacific - and Russian hypersonic missiles, against which the US has ZERO defenses, flattening US cities.

The main reason one can doubt this idiotic story is that the probability of a bunch of Chinese cellular components shutting down the US energy grid - a remnant of "Year 2000" bullshit - is next to zero. And the Chinese wouldn't bother in the middle of a full-out war with the US, not when their missiles systems and their alliance with Russia insure their success in any such war.
