Very true. They may not kill it, but they can control it. What if the China
boss wakes up one day and says "stop all exports to the USA and get all the
money they owe us." In very short time, our retail stores would be 3/4
empty, much of our manufacturing that relies on imported parts will stop,
prices will skyrocket for the things that are left. We'd have economic
chaos.
