Great reply, thanks.
But does China have control over supplies sufficient to stop production for a whole ‘class’ of production?
Yeah, a specific company could be subject to their whim. But a whole field of production?
Sorry that I’m not being clearer.
Ob thread about China fertilizer...
“So, if people can’t get fertilizer out of China, does that mean Beijing’s full of $#*&?”
Well, it’s hard to say (for me anyway). I’m not an “expert” in the auto industry, for example. The answer likely vary from “field” to field. But...
Consider auto production. Out of all the major US manufacturers (including producers the size of, say, Subaru), is there so much as one car model that uses less than 100 essential components dependent in some way or another on China? I don’t “know” the answer, but I have a very strong “suspicion”.
