the answer is no. what does china do with that oil? they produce manufactured goods. and who do they sell them to? the united states. war with the US, means no exports, no need to operate factories, no need for oil, and millions of peasants with no jobs.
for now, china is content to check US power using their various proxies. they need another 20-30 years for US companies to export the rest of our manufacturing and technology base to them, then they will be ready to take us down - when the only things we have left to fight them with are plastic bags from walmart, and coffee cups from starbucks.
thats hell of point
Food for thought, thank you.
I can agree with that analysis. Good points.
