What stick? They’ve already been selling UST and dollar reserves like crazy to prevent monetary flight out of China from the wealthy. Unless they are threatening war, they don’t have a stick. We import 5:1 compared to export to China.

And don't forget all of the intellectual property they have stolen during the MFN/"Normal" era.

And if they do threaten war, they don’t have the logistics capability to do anything outside their own borders.

CNN would be reduced to using vidoes made from Battlefield 2 to show the mighty Chinese army victorious in battle over evil running dog Americans.

>>>We import 5:1 compared to export to China>>>

Think about that. China has a Population of 1.375 Billion versus our Population of just 330 Million.

Almost five times the Market size yet we can only manage to crack 20% of their Exports to us.

Me thinks the game is rigged or we have all those $.99 Cent Stores to blame. I’m still waiting for a Domestic Company to manufacture the $.99 Cent Sunglasses I buy there.

Probably by proxy-threatening their neighbors, I’d say. And calling in debt, perhaps...?
