If the USA sanctioned China the same way we sanctioned Russia, the US economy would go into an immediate depression.
I’m all for cutting all ties with China, it’s going to take time, just think of the things that almost over night would be gone from store shelves.
Nearly all pharmaceuticals, many of them life saving, just think of all the antibiotics that save lives that would disappear.
Nearly all solar panels and lithium batteries, it wouldn’t bother me but car companies currently selling EVs would start laying off thousands of workers.
Go into any Walmart and see how many products come from China, eliminate all those products and Walmart one of the largest employers in the USA would get crushed and start laying off people by the 10s of thousands.
Electronics, no more iPhones and may other personal technology items.
And countless other items.
Could the US rebuild those supply chains, absolutely but it would take significant time and during the rebuilding millions of Americans would get devastated and the US economy would tank.
Forget it. Talking to these are like talking to a stone.
And twice as dumb.
I like embracing pain to get to a positive result.
