When China responds to the US military deal
On December 17, the Trump administration announced a record of $11.1 billion in arms sales to Taiwan:
82 HIMARS systems
420 tactical missiles
60 M109A7 self-propelled howitzers
Land, sea, air equipment
👉 Less than 24 hours later, China canceled a contract for 132,000 tons of American wheat — the largest deal of 2025.
➡️ Immediate impact: a 10% drop in wheat futures in Chicago, the lowest in 8 weeks.
➡️ Iowa agricultural cooperatives sound the alarm.
🧠 Strategic reading
This is not just a simple business: it’s a geopolitical countermeasure.
China uses trade as leverage against military provocations.
Agricultural and financial markets become the first collateral victims.
🚀 Crypto reflection
In this type of geopolitical shock, traditional assets (wheat, currencies) are vulnerable.
👉 $BTC remains a verifiable asset, with no dependence on political agreements.
Discipline = understanding that the safe haven is no longer just gold or wheat, but also Bitcoin.
🙌 Question to the community:
Do you see $BTC
as a geopolitical hedge against US–China tensions?
