Outsourcing so much of the supply chain to China was a strategic mistake. Countless people have warned about this over decades, to no avail. The collective-West put itself in a Chinese joint lock.
It’s not publicly known what the proposed sanctions are, but China’s responses could range from causing inconveniences for companies and people in targeted countries to disasters.

The United States is sounding out close allies about the possibility of imposing new sanctions on China if Beijing provides military support to Russia for its war in Ukraine, according to four U.S. officials and other sources.
The consultations, which are still at a preliminary stage, are intended to drum up support from a range of countries, especially those in the wealthy Group of 7 (G7), to coordinate support for any possible restrictions.
It was not clear what specific sanctions Washington will propose. The conversations have not been previously disclosed.
