Very well put. Has anyone ever considered the fact that Red China may someday do just that ON PURPOSE?

I have, but I don't think China will do it until they are within a month of invading Taiwan. They would use the tactic to degrade our economy as much as possible even though they will degrade their own far worse, but then, they are still Communists, and if they get what they want, what is a few years of famine?

Isn't this the argument that was used in fear of the Saudis in the late 70s and the subject of a movie called something like "$$$?"

The net result is that China loses too since it is on a huge change in its demography with billions entering cities to find jobs. How is that factored in? Also, why is Europe threatening exchange rate fixes to prop up AirBus? It seems Europe is going down first.

Oh they no doubt will but only if there is no threat of something like a complete American embargo of all Chinese trade which would knock their entire economy for a loop.
