U.S. Worries China Will Use Supply Chains As Weapon
March 8th, 2023My commentary from, U.S. Seeks Allies’ Backing for Possible China Sanctions Over Ukraine War:
If this really kicks off, you should be ready for extremely serious problems.
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 increasingly worries that China will use its power in global supply chains as an additional weapon to advance its political and military might, a report released Wednesday showed.
The “Annual Threat Assessment” issued by the Director of National Intelligence said China is already using its supply chain dominance to force foreign companies and countries to transfer technologies and intellectual property to it.
But the US intelligence community sees Beijing using this economic power in parallel with military strength to secure regional and global influence.
“The government of China is capable of leveraging its dominant positions in key global supply chains in an attempt to accomplish its goals, although probably not without significant cost to itself,” the report said.
