I was under the impression that "war with China" was at the top of the plans for over a decade now. I definitely remember seeing stuff like this years ago, and all that's changed is the US is even more reliant on Chinese imports.
Is a war-time economy still good if your manufacturing sector can't get 2/3rds of its raw materials?
Are you kidding? The West went to war with Russia and then was actually flabbergasted Russia stopped the fuel exports. You're talking about people with an orange between their ears. I've scraped stuff off my shoes that was more intelligent than Western European politicians.
EDIT: All that to say, America will still expect China to export what we need.
It wasn't even that, Russia was actually pretty happy to continue gas exports. Europeans stopped paying and were flabbergasted that after that Russian gas stopped coming in.
