Just in case. But this thread may slip into obscurity if nothing happens.
My interpretation of Trumps EXECUTIVE ORDER ON ADDRESSING THE THREAT FROM SECURITIES INVESTMENTS THAT FINANCE COMMUNIST CHINESE MILITARY COMPANIES declared as a NATIONAL EMERGENCY on 13th November, 2020.
Investors have until 11 January, 2021 to get the hell out of their Chinese investments...
... or Trump will use his IEEPA POWERS. Trump's IEEPA POWERS:https://www.whitehouse.gov/president...ary-companies/

Some believe Trump's Executive Order is "Largely Symbolic and a distraction" which is explained in the article link below. But they end the article with this:The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), Title II of Pub.L. 95–223, 91 Stat. 1626, enacted October 28, 1977, is a United States federal law authorizing the president to regulate international commerce after declaring a national emergency in response to any unusual and extraordinary threat to the United States which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States.
The IEEPA authorizes the president to declare the existence of an "unusual and extraordinary threat... to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States" that originates "in whole or substantial part outside the United States." It further authorizes the president, after such a declaration, to block transactions and freeze assets to deal with the threat. In the event of an actual attack on the United States, the president can also confiscate property connected with a country, group, or person that aided in the attack.

"Nevertheless, this is an administration that is prepared to do what it can to disrupt U.S.-China ties in order to secure its legacy and "bind Biden" into the paradigm of confrontation – the world still has to watch out for that.

What I find interesting is that if Trump has a plan to legally hobble the Biden Crime Family along with Big Tech and Deep State oligarchs in bed with China, we will never know until it actually happens because of the PRESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY ACTION DOCUMENTS.
Unsure of the lagal jargon in the Executive Order but it sounds like current dealings could be included.Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs) are draft classified orders created by the President of the United States to exercise or expand powers in the declaration of an emergency for various hypothetical worst-case scenarios. They are defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as the "Final drafts of Presidential messages, proposed legislation proclamations, and other formal documents, including DOJ-issued cover sheets addressed to the President, to be issued in event of a Presidentially-declared national emergency.
Because these orders are classified, none have ever been publicly released or leaked, and they are therefore obscure and generally unknown to average Americans and scholars and even Executive branch officials, they are sometimes referred to as "secret powers" of the President. [...]
Though there were academic articles and books discussing them since the 1980s, explicit public discussion about PEADS in the media did not begin until March 2020 when President Donald Trump said: “I have the right to do a lot of things that people don’t even know about,” during a Whitehouse press briefing with Prime Minister Leo Varadkar of Ireland leading to an April 10 op-ed in the New York Times by Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at NYU’s Brennan Center for Justice,: "Trump Has Emergency Powers We Aren't Allowed to Know About".

Then there is this "Executive Order on Preventing On-Line Censorship" thrown into the mix on 28 May, 2020.

So, there still may be a glimmer of hope for the world that Biden, his cronies and the Chinese Communist Party will be prevented from taking over the U.S. There's a very small window though between 11th January and inauguration day.
If I'm interpreting this incorrectly please let me know.
