I mean China would never have to resort to such low measures since they aren't on the back foot and need to think about world opinion in a post war order rather than just surviving at any cost, but have those Americans considered that while America makes niche analog style old tech such as pagers or walkie talkies, China makes:
A lot of people gloating thinking Israel therefore the US can magically make pagers explode. Yeah an all of them have an iPhone next to their head... That kind of ignorance can be exploited against them.
-phone batteries
-car batteries
-pressure valves
-gas storage containers
-household appliances
-civilian shipping
-brakes
And while US itself is more mindful of national security, those third world countries they're trying to incite against China like India or Philippines are not.
I'm 99% sure we will never see them explode because China has major escalation dominance just by going into wartime industrial production.
