I have to wonder sometimes, what if the West finally has enough and shuts China off from all its trade? Sure, prices will rise, but that's the cost of staying alive anyway—I'm convinced we'll have to scale consumption back at some point unless we want to all die among barren wasteland and landfills (or at least if we don't want to live among wasteland with some hydroponics and farms). So, let's say the West relocates production to India, dozen other neighboring countries and Africa, and gives China the finger. Will China go on fine and dandy with just Middle-East customers and whatnot? Will it turn to blocking and pillaging traffic on the seas from those other countries? Will it turn to terrorism, something like torturing Uyghurs until the US gives in and turns off the sanctions? Will it go to war with all the neighbors, beginning with Taiwan? Will it fire the nukes, and/or have NK fire the nukes? I've heard that Western politics, including international politics, are a product of popular demand, even if people won't say they like what the government does. Well, either people are fine with China's hijinks while all the tsatskes are cheap, or there's some complications to the idea that the West might want to do something.
