This is insane. The CCP cannot afford a victory over taiwan. Oil exports to china cease, during the invasion, if no other reason that no one wants their tanker to blow up en route (there are safer and more lucrative buyers) and then what? 70% of chinese energy is imported. The country comes to a stop.

> 70% of chinese energy is imported.

And 90% of that imported energy is used for export manufacturing.
