> What happens when trillion-dollar American luxury device manufacturers are no longer able to contact their manufacturers in China? The relationship is mutual and losing manufacturing contracts with large international companies would deeply affect the Chinese economy. Admittedly, the Chinese government has very long range vision compared to other governments and can unilaterally enforce austerity on their working class population in ways democratic regimes cannot. That doesn't mean that China can alienate its international business partners with impunity.
