And we have come full circle, Wuli. Your original commment was in response to my comment that quoted Revolutionary who said "The US, Japan, the UK and France all have a crap load of warships around China."
You're China. You have what you consider a legitimate right to something. (Stay with me here, don't get sidetracked about the truth of the statement from our perspective.) You are seeing signs of what could be interpreted as aggressive acts by several Western countries against your activities.
Are you inclined to continue to provide unabated the chips and other items that these same Western powers rely upon for their continued economic prosperity, or are you inclined to quietly withhold some key components in a subtle protest of their actions?
Now do you get it?
You are guessing at China’s actions.
There is no evidence of it.
Everyone’s trade imbalance with China is negative.
While that seems positive on one side it also means China, business revenue wise, is more dependent on that trade than are most of its trade partners.
China knows it is not going to cut off chip exports without seeing Trump-like trade restrictions from a host of trade partners.
There are some shortages of some chips.
Western naval vessels are not the cause.
You can imagine all you want, what China might do. That does not make it happening.
