if aliens came down tomorrow and said "if any country trades with another country we blow up your planet" the USA would be fine, china would starve en masse. it would survive but its a country of producers for trade. USA trades for convenience, China trades to survive.


Chinas one child policy also caused a starvation of workers.

China has been trying and failing to catch up on chip production for like 30 years.

Mass production of modern chips is literally the hardest thing humans have ever done


^^^

China is left producing low end chips, for like smart pens and Bluetooth speakers.

Watched a video that showed the United States has something like 20% of the farm land within 100 miles of shipping lanes.

Which means we're the best country in the world to grow and then mass transport food.

Was really eye opening


Ya hear how some of congress is concerned with China buying so much farm land in America. Interesting to note, 18 other countries own more American agricultural acres than China.
Countries Who Own The Most Acres U.S. Agricultural Land

Canada (12,845,000 acres)
Netherlands (4,875,000)
Italy (2,703,000)
United Kingdom (2,538,000)
Germany (2,269,000)
Portugal (1,483,000)
France (1,316,000)
Denmark (856,000)
Luxembourg (802,000)
Ireland (760,000
Bill Gates owns almost as much U.S. agricultural land as China at 248,000 acres, according to The Land Report.

laugh all you want, by the time your country learned how to grow food for 1.4billion people without the ability to import .4 billion people would be dead and cold.

that's not even addressing the fact that most of the urban people wouldnt even be needed in cities if trade shut off.

Just to be fair America is rather huge, sometimes going from LA to New York is like a completely whole new world.

That being said I used to have an American expat friend in HK back in 2012 who told me that around 25 to 30% of Americans do not have a passport. They don't exactly travel out of their country.
But things might have changed by now. I am not sure how true is that particular statement.

Their news source is mainly what they consume via MSM at the moment. But of course with the internet , their knowledge has expanded, but then again, you can also cherry pick and choose what you wanna see and what you don't and still think that humans Ethiopia still live in huts and hunt via bows and arrows.
