Instead, the Chinese government is likely to signal its anger by tapping the brakes on select exports essential to key U.S. industries, such as the automotive sector. Such intentional disruption of targeted supply chains will allow Beijing to retaliate with a degree of plausible deniability

China could use those supply chains to try to inflict pain, and [because] the Chinese leadership sees the West as moving to reduce their dependence on China, adding uncertainty about Chinese supply won’t be overly costly for China because the U.S. policy direction is mostly set.”

Victor Gao Zhikai, chair professor at Soochow University and a frequent echo of Chinese government positions, two days later described USICA as a geopolitical “Tonya Harding syndrome — whacking the kneecaps of China trying to put China out of commission.” Gao warned that the blowback from USICA includes “a real possibility that down the road the China market is completely closed off for U.S. manufacturers.”

“When China says ‘tit-for-tat,’ it means ‘tit-for-tat,’” said Min Ye, associate professor of international relations at Boston University. “China’s [retaliatory] policy tools include purchasing orders, targeted sanctions against individuals and companies or a pause on ongoing [bilateral] dialogues.”

China may restrict/slow-down exports of parts in strategic industries if the US passes its USICA protectionist law

To sum up, if the US wants to slowly decouple, tough luck, China will pull the plug (in its own way) first, in order to inflict the maximum possible damage



In case anyone thought that China is not doing anything, the above should be proof enough of the opposite.

Going to be fun times. China is in big advantage in the emerging strategic industries

All this talk of appreciating overseas chinese are just empty words, my grandfather went back to china and fought the Japanese although our family did not invest in china and contribute to its recovery and most overseas Chinese is not well off as to be able to go back to china and start a business.
And what did the gov offered 5 year multiple entry visa to show their appreciation but recently a Singaporean Chinese youtuber can't even get his visa renewed
