    Theyve been saying that forever, my history teacher was saying that when he taught us about Tiananmen Square. The good news is they're kinda right about the first part, at this point the west would collapse without china

      Kinda reminded of the second century of the Foundation series, when the Traders start selling consumer goods and tools to Korell. Then when Korell moves to invade, the Foundation cut off all trade and Korells factories grind to a halt, their consumer goods begin to fail and they're unable to support their fleets long enough to even reach the Foundation before they surrender.
