Seems crazy that China wouldn't halt trade after the US directly attacks China. Personally, I don't see how it would be realistic for the US to sufficiently decouple from China in the next three years. Also, now that things are heating up in West Asia, the US might simply not have the ability to even attempt to engage in three major global conflicts at the same time.

I imagine that the continued trade that China has with the U.S. is still very important, so I don't see China cutting it off until absolutely necessary.

I feel like the point when the US directly attacks China with their military might constitute a necessity for cutting off trade.

That's what I'm thinking.
