Agreed. All this does is increase support for de-risking any idea of investing in China.

Although there are benefits of globalization, there should still be independent manufacturing and mining wherever possible. If China is struck by a large meteor in the future, or blocks all trade due to politics, the rest of the world should be ready.

China is a net importer of both potatoes and canola oil.

Maybe the spices or something.
