    Yup. Untangling China will/would be much more difficult than dropping Russia was. The latter happened in a year, and with mostly positive ramifications. None of the scare scenarios that tankies talked about a year ago actually happened. We were supposed to get rid of using fossil fuels anyway.

    Getting rid of Chinese products would lead to some positive outcomes – less unemployment in Europe being the most obvious one. But it’s an entirely different scale. Russia exported pretty much just alt-right political influence and gasoline. We’ll happily do without either. China has been the leading producers of a lot of important low and high tech for a lot of time.
