How would China's economy be affected.....

[kuromusha]

if they went to war with the US?

Now, I'm not one of those naive people who believes China's rivalry with the US will result in a war. However, I'm still curious on what effect it would have on their economy. It's more of a hypothetical question if anything.

 

[Magooglie]

How long is this war and do they win?

Do they take out South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan?

 

[vcmmafan]

Isn't manufacturing slowly moving out of China with better automation/robots? The USA would win but they spend WAY too money much on their military...

 

[emperor]

China would never, ever go to war with us. Their economy needs us.

lol china's navy is set to surpass the american navy in a few years. they just refitted an aircraft carrier of their own in 2012.

all out war doesnt happen in a world of nukes. But if it were to happen, china would take a hit but the US would take a huge hit considering it mosly sells things made in china thanks to cheap labor and slack labor laws in their country.

china makes less stuff for US
US prices skyrocket....who would cave first.

china would never, ever go to war with us. Our economy needs them.

just ask yourself this one question. What would happen if Wal-Mart pulled their entire operations from China overnight?

It would devastate their economy. Now imagine most of the American (and possibly Japan, Taiwan and the EU) companies being forced to leave/pull out of China in a very quick period of time, and China's economy is complete shit.

What if their was an embargo on foriegn oil to China.
A lot less food to China
Their unemployment goes through the roof
Massive riots, widespread unrest, and maybe Civil War.

Do you see how much we have China by the balls?
Also, no one really likes China, certainly not any of their neighbors. Except maybe NK, but that alliance is more of a liability than an asset.

Wrong. America is moving more and more production away from China all the time.

China's entire economy is based on producing/selling stuff to America. So America's prices go up and businesses are forced to move production to Vietnam quickly while China's economy completely collapses. Now who caves first?

No its not your right they JUST go a they're very first carrier in 2012.An its a old soviet steam powered carrier with a ski jump and under powered J-15, yes we are absolutely terrified *eyerolls*
An they just got they're very first (yes this mean 1)nuclear powered sub that's capable of carrying sub launched nukes. ooooo so scary....



And we'd probably take a huge hit, as for china would probably fragment an collapse... however theirs a bigger chance of a Chinese civil war happening before that.

There was a thread about this last year. Pretty much everyone were in agreement that an old rusty Russian refit is pretty bland to say the least.

OH and it will be more than just "a few years" before China surpasses ANYTHING American.

 

[LatFlare]

they'd be fucked. The chinese economy is already a time bomb waiting to go off as they have binged on debt (to put it very simply).

 

[5H3RD0G]

Debt of course such a large scale operation would effect the overall world economy. Waste of time only fight if you can win the war in less than a few hours if it takes years you are not very educated at war. :icon_lol:

Your economy needs them more...

Bigger chance of an American civil war than a Chinese one. China has got its shit together and anyone who has done serious business there knows it.
