In the midst of a war with no nukes, no planes, no grenades, just high prices, low unemployment, flaccid stock portfolios, and no iPads, how will we survive and make the other side cry uncle first?

It seems as if you're saying that China will stop accepting our dollars to build our crap because they would rather piss us off.

Keep selling them debt till their middle class starts to spend their savings and they can't buy anymore and then watch the dollar crash and take the yen with it. Then when they dump the debt buy it all back with foreign currency reserves you've been quietly accumulating thru a bazillion shell companies.

China is already losing the trade war if there is one. They're doing all the work to snap our ipads together and make us cheap molded house hold items with their stone age industry/economy and all they get in return is worthless US dollars; which they haven't found much use for yet, and in fear of them losing value to inflation have felt forced to buy more and more of our debt.

Edit: check out the Shanghai index for kicks.
