China was pissed off.
'Why?' asked Max, who was still glowing from the marathon fuck session with the Hooters Cheerleaders.
'Because the world closed their borders.'
'So?'
Max was stringing me along.
He wanted to know if I was clued in or not.
'Well everyone knows with Chinese investment comes perks.'
'Like?'
Well they usually buy the ports.
'And?'
The Chinese resented the British.
The Opium Wars were devastating to them.
But someone in the political party realized that if China could do it to the rest of the world, they'd be filthy rich.
The Chinese perfected it with the manufacturing of heroin and methamphetamines in Burma.
The Vietnamese had been bitching how the Chinese had been marking their products 'Made in Vietnam' to circumvent the trade wars with the USA.
And no one was listening until Donald Trump was elected.
Families devastated, people disappearing in the desert or in the ocean, China was getting filthy rich at the expense of the West.
'Very perceptive,' said Max.
Now with COVID, the gear has dried up.
The bikies are nowhere to be seen.
Crime on the streets is at it's an all-time low.
It was an orchestrated attempt at taking on China.
The drug dealers didn't fear the police, we were too easy on them in the West.
We live in a safer world now, I said to Max.
'We do,' he said, 'fancy another round in Hooterville?'
Was that a rhetorical question?
'I take that as a yes,' said Max, who threw some more greenbacks around.
