Topic Scope And Freshness
Key Notes
Jiang claims the coercive apparatus built during the Opium Wars did not disappear but instead evolved into modern financial centers such as Hong Kong, Paris, New York, and London, which he characterizes as money-laundering hubs for narcotics wealth.
Jiang speculates that if the Trump administration is genuinely targeting narcotics flows, the move may be part of an elite civil war between nationalists and globalists because drug smuggling and money laundering are, in his model, central to how global financial elites generate wealth.
