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.
Worth it? Absolutely!!
Depending on cheap CHINESE communist junk is a deal with the devil but it’s a deal that America made a long time ago and thus we currently DEPEND on that communist made stuff.
