Blockading China means that the countries who have China as their largest trading partner get cut off from their supply chain. Seems like a good way to kill any goodwill towards the US bloc.

Yep

The key thing to remember is that China is fine with a neutral ASEAN that keeps trading with everyone in the world.

It is the US which seeks a trade embargo

China can ruin Japan and South Korea. Anything short of complete control of China in a war won’t keep them safe. Look at the West’s impotence in the Red Sea. China is more capable when it can produce a thousand anti-ship missiles per factory a month.

Well, to blockade Japan or Korea, you don't actually have to use anti-ship missiles, which are more expensive than land-attack cruise missiles. Call it an extra $1-2Mn for an anti-ship seeker.

All those ships have to dock into a port at a fixed location anyway, and all of Japan is within 1200km of mainland China.

So the recent CCTV7 newsreel on an automated Chinese factory capable of producing components for 1000 cruise missiles per day is very interesting.

They also like to play "Born in the USA" at right-wing political conventions, not noticing at all that the song is harshly critical of US overseas military interventions and how US government and society treated its veterans.


Rockin' in the Free World references the homeless and drug addiction problems in America.
Maybe I'm being harsh and Blinken found the solution to the opioid epidemic in Kyiv.

Biden threatens to halt transfer of offensive weapons to Israel if IDF enters Rafah​

US President Joe Biden says his administration will not support Israel or provide it with offensive weapons if it launches an offensive against Hamas in populated parts of Rafah.

“I’ve made it clear to Bibi and the war cabinet: They’re not going to get our support if they go [into] these population centers,” Biden tells CNN in an interview.

Biden threatens to halt transfer of offensive weapons to Israel if IDF enters Rafah​


There is zero reasons to trust anything they say. Threaten to halt. Does the exact opposite anyway. That has been the Biden Admin foreign policy standard.

U.S. poised to send $1 billion in weapons to Israel, sources say​

The Biden administration has informed Congress that it intends to transfer $1 billion in weapons to Israel, two congressional sources confirmed to CBS News Tuesday.

Congress will need to approve the transfer. The Wall Street Journal was first to report the news.

The move comes days after the U.S. withheld shipments of certain munitions to Israel, and President Biden said in an interview with CNN that the U.S. would further curtail weapons shipments if Israel broadened its ground offensive to include civilian population centers in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

"We are continuing to send military assistance, and we will ensure that Israel receives the full amount provided in the supplemental," National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday, referring to a recently signed funding package that includes about $14 billion for Israel's defense.

The package includes about $700 million for tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles and $60 million in mortar rounds, congressional aides told the Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an arms transfer that has not yet been made public.

Last month, Congress passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill that provides military aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.

The House is also poised to vote this week on a measure that would require the State Department and the Defense Department to carry out the "prompt delivery" of military equipment. The White House has pledged to veto the legislation, though the bill is unlikely to clear the Senate.
