To me, the longer we wait, the stronger China is going to become. Better to force them to be openly aggressive than allow them to slowly gain geostrategic advantage. Right now, a US blockade would mean China gets nothing in or out by sea, bringing its economy to a halt and producing serious food shortages. There simply isn't enough rail capacity to make it up. The CCP would probably respond with missile attacks on US bases in the Asia/Pacific and probably massive cyber attacks on US business and infrastructure. They could also prompt the Norks to try some BS, in which case turning NK into a glass parking lot would be a good idea. Right now they have managed to alienate everyone around them, and neighbors like India might find this a good opportunity to dogpile on the Chinese.
Stop funding communists, i.e., Red China!!!!!!!!!
It’s hard to believe DC has allowed China to dominate US government and institutions for decades now.
Bring USA production for USAians back from China and everywhere else.
Huge swathes of US citizens who use to build USA products, live in ghettos, like Detroit. What kind of evil wrought this destruction upon our cities?
Buy USA. Give your neighbor a job.
Who the hell is talking about a blockade?
Blockading the PRC is an act of war. We are not nearly to that state yet.
Japan was not blockaded - it was embargoed. Nobody in the US was allowed to sell them scrap metal or oil. Japan didn’t have metal ore or oil so that threatened to destroy their economy. Their options were to change policy or find other sources.
