Sorry but you have no idea what you are suggesting.
The scope of which we DEPEND on Chinese products is staggering.
One more shut down of “non-essential” businesses for a couple months and the world will be left in peril just for basic necessities.
Our withdraw from Chinese dependency will have to be gradual. That is a simple fact.
The scope of which we DEPEND on Chinese products is staggering.
No the scope of what we depend on CHEAP chinese products is staggering. Believe it or not, we can live without a 70 inch Tv, iPhone and electronic sh!t that goes bad in 5 year.
What are you going on about? I didn’t say anything about the effects of shutting down Chinese trade...just the fact that we can.
The discussion is a possible motive to Chinese actions, one of which is war with us. Yes that would hurt us, duh. But that doesn’t dictate what we would have to do to win.
And to be fair, it would be worth it. 90% of our trade with the commies is crap we can get elsewhere while the important 10% we should be making ourselves anyway. Long term coexistence with the communists is a pipe dream, better they die sooner then later when they’re even stronger.
