According to Ayi there are over 900 M109A6 in storage in warehouses so there's no reason why they can't be ready before 2026. Shilao's theory is that with all that inflation the originally negotiated price for all these purchases are no longer profitable for American MIC, hence why they're backing out.
If this is the case they may have asked ROC to back out for these helicopters to save face.
Likely the 12 copters would of costed something like 2-3 BILLION USD for copter, engines, services, armaments, training etc. At least I have seen some similar crazy numbers when rich middle east countries had deals for advance US copters.
No, complete decoupling is actually not the worst case scenario because then you can do things like confiscate their property and invalidate their patents. Just go economic total war and let the chips fall how they may. It is true meritocracy at that point with no rules and no holds barred.
The worst is when you get cowed into allowing economic engagement on their terms where they can sanction you but you can't sanction them, you have to follow their rules but they don't need to follow yours, etc. That is an unequal treaty where you agree to your own exploitation.
Maybe they could follow the model similar to Russia's "unfriendly country" list in the future, once its fletched out. I'm still waiting to see whether Russia would declare those countries' patents void and start paying their foreign debts to them in Rubles. if it succeeds and honed even further, It could serve as guideline for when the eventual China-US split happens.
Those dam fishing cages that somehow bump into US submarines must have made them shit their pants.
Apple and tesla are for the dessert. They are becoming more Chinese and Chinese over time. There are big American companies which operate in China and have a little connection to Chinese supply chain, or are just brands with no real value items like Nike. Thats a first target which should be aimed at in the beginning of trade war 2.0.
This is just Power of Siberia ramping up its volumes
Why not just buy him a plane and bus ticket to a tent city in California?
