China trying to browbeat or threaten two countries from engaging in commerce is part of hybrid warfare. If we cave, we might as will sign surrender documents now.

Also we need to be as rude to Chinese diplomats as they are to us. It should not be the only tool in toolbox, but it should be used and used often.

Of course a vibrant economy and strong military is needed to back it up. Having you supply chain source in China means you cannot have a vibrant economy and strong military.

It does not appear the greedy captains of industry, boobs like Blinken, yes men like Milley and others understand this. Or maybe they do not care so long their life is easy womb to the tomb. A life of luxury and ease until they expire of natural causes.
