> Realistically a major US-China conflict could mean the end of affordable smartphones Really? That's what you are concerned about? A major US-China war would likely drag the rest of the world in and burn a major world economic pillar within a week or so. You won't simply miss your smartphone and live your life like nothing happened because all the ordinance is dropped thousands of miles away - China is not Afghanistan where you can simply ignore the violence. It's an enemy that can and will strike back with infinitely more potential than WW2 Japan. And then you're still leaving Iran, North Korea and Russia out of the equation. What better time for NK to invade the South than during a major Pacific conflict where troops from Taiwan to Guam will be quite busy.
