I guess I see this playing out, if we did it right, as divestment as quickly as we could reasonably manage, then diplomatic isolation of China as well as could be managed until they collapse internally. Basically, the Soviet model. Could take a while.https://twitter.com/PRiMEALiAS/status/1183394574288510977 …

agreed we cannot win a land war in China. TPP along with formal diplomatic pressure was a solid plan for a measured form of containment. Sadly the Trump trade war has precluded such options in the future. Any containment plan has to deal with shipping lanes... -
...and I just can't wrap my head around how we do that without shooting.

More likely a case of adjustment to China as Chinese society evolves. Chinese in turn think of containing USA.

Any divestment seems very difficult because: NBA and other teams, fashion brands, other rent seekers who get paid for image use, distributors/retailers/consumers who get cheap goods. Margins are huge for those with contacts. Universities, too. The trick: Latin American trade.

Invest in building up Latin America while respecting sovereignty. Solves immigration from there. With a good economy, less corruption, people would only come here for family or something, but most would stay where family is. Done well, the border could become relaxed :)
