"[UFO Disclosure will] be a little uncomfortable. There'll be some truths that [will] be a hard pill to swallow." ~Grusch New David Grusch: "There's truly anonymous signatures in the skies [and] the U.S. government understands it represents a form of sentient, non-human intelligence. I know that sounds very Star Trek, a la, you know, Gene Roddenberry and Rod's dad's Sci-Fi series, but it is true. "And I want, you know, the American public to be comforted that the Universe is teeming with life, it seems, and readily able to be explored. And the U.S. government does have a lot of information that I think will inspire Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the American populace at large. And it will be a new era. "It'll be a little uncomfortable. There'll be some truths that [will] be a hard pill to swallow, but I think it's, ultimately, a good thing to get this out there. And I think the people of the world and the American public will be very happy to understand their place in the Universe, so to speak. Without sounding too much like Carl Sagan."

First, China buys all of Iran oil. Some $65 billion a year, in non-USD terms, about 10-12% of its energy imports. China will lose this oil and also the trade it does with Iran in exchange for this oil. Two, shipping rates through middle east and insurance will go up. It is already up. Chinese exports to EU majorly pass through ME and will become costlier. It will hit two sides of Chinese economy, increasing energy costs for manufacturing and reducing its exports. Their economy is already in trouble. Even slight hits to exports and increase in production costs will have snowball effects over time in shaking their economic stability now.
