Xi’s ‘Zero-RoI’ Strategy

If There’s a Shooting War, Will Americans Lose All Investments in China?

WASHINGTON — In the past decade, U.S. financial managers have transferred trillions to companies owned or controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — by some estimates $3-6 trillion — from Americans who placed their money in pension plans, mutual funds, index funds, exchange traded funds and other investment vehicles. In many cases, the ordinary American investors’ Return on Investment (RoI) has been checkered, at best, while Wall Street’s “masters of the universe” made fortunes.

Too frequently, American investors are unaware how their investments are being used to buy into Chinese companies to the benefit of the CCP — including to underwrite its unrestricted warfare against this country.

Worse yet, as Chinese dictator Xi Jinping intensifies preparations to engage not only in pre-kinetic warfare, but the shooting kind, little — if any — effort is being made by companies like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Bridgewater and Fidelity to apprise their American clients of a serious material risk to their investments in China. In the event of a war with China, the regime in Beijing may preclude the repatriation of at least some, and perhaps all, such foreign investment.

The next Committee on the Present Danger: China (CPDC) webinar, Xi’s ‘Zero-RoI’ Strategy: If There’s a Shooting War, Will Americans Lose All Investments in China?, from 1-2:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday, February 28, will examine the prospects for and potentially dire strategic, as well as financial, implications of such a turn of events. Its expert panel will also discuss what can and must be done now to protect against that eventuality.
