The Republic of Texas
When China called in the American debt, the President went on live television and read their demand, word for translated word, to all of the American people who had tuned in. Then he added up the costs of the various Chinese pandemics of the last few decades that far outweighed those debts. He declared those debts annulled by that Chinese biological terrorism and announced he would not give the Chinese Communist Party “One Red Cent.” It scored as one of the greatest political speeches of the decade. Full of Rah Rah American gusto and patriotism. Political polls forecasted that he won reelection with that speech. And those polls did not dip “One Red Percent” when China declared America in default and began gobbling up every American interest they could secure in their sphere of influence. America could not allow that to stand of course, and returned by nationalizing all Chinese interests within America’s sphere of influence. Thus a full-scale economic war between the two richest nations in the world began.
