What a laugh. China could trash the US economy with the stroke of a
pen.

And we could do the same to them.

How?

Their economy is totally dependent on US purchases.

The PRC is NOT totally dependent on the USA. Where did you ever get that
impression? China is a HUGE trading partner for the whole of Europe,
Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico and some of the Countries of South
American
and South Africa. You need to get a Global Education and not be so
narrow
minded.

Nearly 18% of Chinese exports go to the US. Since we're discussing the
effect that Chinese aggression against Taiwan would have, then it's safe to
say that China would lose the following trade partners in the event of a war
with Taiwan: US, Japan, and Taiwan. Together, those three countries make
up 3 of China's top 5 trade partners...and almost 44% of China's total
exports. It's also likely that China would lose the following as trade
partners: Hong Kong, S. Korea, and Germany. That'd account for 70% of
China's trade.

Keep in mind, that this says nothing about the effect that our corporations
would have in pulling their factories out China.
