They know it and we know it.

I’m not saying it’s right, it isn’t, they are a horrible people.

In my own field, they are responsible for 99% of the worlds production of rackets as supplied by all brands.

I guess I’ll just have to go bust and put 10 people out of work if an embargo is put on buying from China then?

All Western governments know they are stuffed, if they block Chinese importation huge numbers of jobs will be lost and the empty shelves will have their population up in arms and rioting.

Come back in a year and tell me I was wrong as we’ve bought everything we need from another place?

I’ll put the date in my diary.

Many companies and people have morals. If China supply lethal weapons to Russia which help murder more Ukrainians and let another Hitler go marching on - people would demand we stop dealing with China. I would rather our company go bust than see this happen but never in life have I thought about myself! Retired now anyway and sure the mrs would find something else due to her many talents!

It’s a matter of time too before China invade Taiwan so it’s gonna happen. Savvy companies whilst really hard are already looking at every eventuality!
