Trump Is About to Bankrupt China the Soviet Union Way.
He just set a Soviet-Style trap for China.
Trump plans to raise U.S. defense spending by 50% to $1.5 trillion in 2027, about 5% of GDP.
This isn’t about Russia.
Russia’s economy can’t keep up.
This is aimed squarely at China.
It’s Reagan vs the Soviet Union—version 2.0.
Beijing now faces a dead-end choice:
Match U.S. spending → crush an already fragile economy
Don’t match it → fall behind militarily and lose face globally
Either way, China loses.
That’s exactly how the arms race bankrupted the USSR.
And that’s why Beijing is panicking about this decison.
