This is the funniest thing I’ve read all day. Just the fact that you think companies will just swallow lost profits instead of bleeding actual customers (that being you and me) dry.

China is the world’s second largest economy and they make all their own stuff. The entire US market is only 15% of their exports. That, with a centrally managed economy means that they can easily ride out the trade war while the US burns to the ground.

Probably not, because they aren’t soldiers. Private military contractors and random citizens can be found fighting all over the world. If China’s military got involved in Ukraine it would be an enormous geopolitical issue that would be akin to shooting itself in the face for an unreliable partner.
