"Should those in the Bay Area be concerned?"

Wow. That's such a strange question. How about the guys in Seattle? The residents of Kansas City? Should the good citizens of Detroit be concerned, or will the weight of the conflict land on Cleveland?

I guess the parent poster is referring to the fact that oil fields near Santa Barbara, California and the Columbia River in Oregon were attacked during WWII. But this has negligible relevance to the current US-China tensions.
