Hah, most of our lost trade has been replaced with new markets to U.K, India, Asia and other places. More like, we have big d**ked them, because now they don't have enough coal to run their country.
Looks like we are going to follow the U.S and boycott their olympics too. The CCP will never be a legitimate world power because countries are not going to recognise them, hence the olympic boycott. This is the start of many good things to come.
And, if they tried starting a war it wouldn't last long because many countries would just cut their resources off. No-one likes the communist party of China, so the days of becoming a superpower are well and truly over.
