→China and the CCP
This is a decent op-ed calling on Americans to focus on the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party and competition with it, rather than obsess about "China" (as opposed to the CCP): [https://thehill.com/opinion/international/462149-americas-china-experts-ignore-the-chinese-communist-party] --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 22:47, 21 September 2019 (EDT)

:Yes, that is exactly the problem. Same with Iran. We have no problem with the people, it's the leadership. The difference today is, nobody is for "regime change wars". So that leaves only sanctions.
:This risk here is, as was the case when an embargo on Persian Gulf oil was imposed on Japan threatening their entire economy in May 1941, it could provoke a military action on their part. We've seen as much with Iranian behavior, the oil tanker seizures and drone strikes on Saudi refineries - all to raise the demand and price of oil.
:In the case of China, the trade talks are bound up with North Korean de-nuclearization. With progress on that front, there can be some give in trade talks. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|De Plorabus Unum]]</sup> 00:02, 22 September 2019 (EDT)
