Yeah that's not how it works at all thanks to globalisation. About 10 other countries will step in to provide all the cheap widgets in Chinas place about 3 seconds after they 'cut us off'

Which countries have anything even remotely matching the supply chain of Shenzen built up and trained - and with the spare capacity available?

Many companies are moving out of China at the moment, either due to the threat of a Trump-caused trade war or because other countries are even cheaper than China, and it takes them years.

China can weather one year of export blockade to EU/US. No problem. But EU/US can not, not in any way.
