I don’t believe that. China’s economy and the west’s is very deeply interconnected and what is good for one is good for the other.

Also, the new generation of Chinese has grown up with western comforts and would not readily go back to pre-modernization so they are reliant on the west to trade for technology.

I got news for you: China has more and better consumer technology than the West combined. The new generation of Chinese are not dependent on the West for anything.

I got news for you: iphone market share has been going up year over year in China.

I got even more news for you: 45% of Chinese oil imports are from middle east vassal states of the USA. And those imports are purchased in USD.

China needs the West and vice versa.

I got more news for you: iPhones are made in China. And more astonishing news: US cannot manufacture iPhones.

About Chinese oil imports from Middle East: US cannot stop its Middle East “vassals” from selling oil to China. Not sure what point you’re trying to make…
