China should announce a ban on German cars on China's road networks in retaliation.

China should prepare to do all retaliation at once. The West slowly doing these stupid actions is essentially helping China acclimate to it slowly, in fact they are only helping China. All this time China has not retaliated in order to prepare for massive retaliation when the time comes

Despite all the stereotypes, China starving from a U.S. blockade is out of the question. China has one of the world's largest reserves of grains and other essential foods. What'll happen for sure in a war scenario is that the population is going to have to put up with eating like the British, but no ones going to starve.

We weren’t talking about food security as of now. The discussion topic was whether China should rely on food imports.

I don't get the food problem in a blockade? Wouldn't Russia, Central Asia, and continental ASEAN provide the food via land in such a blockade?

This assumes China doesn't produce enough food for herself (a questionable assumption).

The United States could try to bomb the trading routes. But China's land borders with Russia, Central Asia, and continental ASEAN are 15,000+ kilometers long. You're talking about continuous multi-thousand kilometer stealth bombing runs to prevent 15K+ kilometers of potential border trade - while at the same time needing to bomb military bases and military production. It sounds like a great way to attrit B-21's.

Finally, the War in Ukraine shows that civilian infrastructure is difficult to destroy. Both sides have found it challenging to destroy simple bridges; Russia hasn't managed to fully turn of the electricity in Ukraine after months.

China won't go hungry without food imports. ASEAN, Russia and Central Asia, these countries don't produce enough food for export to plug the holes left by the US and Brazil. However, soybeans and corn consumption could decrease sharply if Chinese cut back on pork consumption so a diet, lifestyle changes should be enough for china to deal with a blockage.

However, all of the grain and food exports in the world wouldn't be enough for China if China had 3 billion people. People need to realize China produces 25% of world grain output. If China's food consumption double the prices of grain would be more than double. We have witnessed this during early 2010s when commodity prices skyrocket. For now, China has already needed to import 200 billion worth of food.

The labor protection law prohibits imports of products made in China's Xinjiang region, where Chinese authorities are reported to have established labor camps for ethnic Uyghur and other Muslim groups. China denies any abuses.

The movement of panels that have been stuck at the border or awaiting shipment from overseas should help alleviate delays in U.S. solar project development stemming from implementation of the law, which went into effect in June of last year.

US surrenders, those Weeger slave made solar panels are just too good to pass up.

What is this cringe piece? You can't tell me Chinese analysts are incapable of understanding the reasoning laid out repeatedly even in many threads on this forum of how useless shoulder fired MANPADS and ATGMs will be as a defensive tool in a Taiwan conflict. I'm just gonna assume this is another "look how our awesome weapons strike fear into the hearts of the seeseepee" propaganda piece Reuters is commissioning for Raytheon.

I mean, Confucius being Korean is a funny hill to die on, but if so have at it.

Sometimes these people do have a plan, kinda. Koreans' mythical origin is Paektusan (Baitoushan 白头山, Chinese name 长白山). Confucius lived in Shandong. Claiming that Confucius was Korean is that iteratively reinventing their history over time. In the future they will use their fake history to lay claims to north east China at least. Especially with the recent discovery of fossil fuel deposits in Bohai.

It's classic tactics well practised by DPP in Taiwan too - charge 5 steps forward, get pushed back 3, they still end up 2 steps forward.
