    No nation can take it on in an economic sanction battle.

    Wouldn't China be able to completely fuck the US economy if they decided to put an embargo on exports to the US?

        Sure, but these cost would be significantly smaller for China than the US. China could easily destabilize the US further.

      Yeah probably, until the US flexes its muscle and gets the entire world to sanction China's economy. Which of course would harm the workers in the countries doing the sanctions that rely on this kind of stuff, but hey, nobody gives a shit about them right?

      I mean I'm sure China would be a-okay with it. Being able to convert the facilities they use to mass produce Western goods and turn their attention inwards could work out for them.
