          The Americans tried to use the exact same carrot and stick to force India to cut trade with Russia they’re now trying to use with China. It’s gonna work out exactly the same way. The reality is that China produces things everyone needs, and there is no substitute. Meanwhile, all the US has to offer is the dwindling consumer market. Countries that haven’t been vassalized entirely will just take the short term hit and move on.
