> I don't think a war between the China and the rest of the world is terribly likely and I believe globalization is overall more good than bad for humanity. A war doesn't have to be likely for the location of supply chains to have a negative geopolitical effect. For instance: China could use the knowledge that globalization has become the US military's achilles heel to confidently take aggressive action elsewhere, knowing the US can't respond because it can't sustain a response without Chinese cooperation. In a similar vein, economic dependence limits the pressure the US and other western countries can put on China in the name of Chinese human rights.
