Perhaps having almost everything made in China was a bad idea?

Imagine the fun the Chinese could have by not allowing specific components to be shipped to the US. The theory of everyone getting along because we are in each others business will be tested.

China urges US to withdraw sanctions against its companies over N. Korea

“China opposes the imposition of unilateral sanctions outside the framework of the UN Security Council, especially the ‘long-arm jurisdiction’ imposed on Chinese entities or individuals by other countries in accordance with their domestic laws.
