All good ideas. However, the real way to hit China is in the pocketbook. They are so used to American money flowing in that they have become arrogant in their dealings with the US. When I was in the military you learned one good lesson: Stay on the good side of the finance people, no matter how much you did not like them. Well, America is the finance guys for China. Simply cut off their flow of US dollars and they will be severely crippled. I feel sorry for their people, but, in general, the people are responsible for their government, even in a dictatorship. It takes courage and backbone, but without those two, the people will suffer. It is easy to see the contrast between leaders among our founding fathers and so-called "leaders" in DC over the last 60 years. So, if the people do not hold up their responsibility for their leaders, they will suffer. Just ask the Palestinians. China will have a tough time fighting a war, but we should not help them financially.
