Is it possible to crush Chinas economy?

Pretend you are the newly elected President. Is there a way you could tank Chinas economy without starting a war.
I will state that war would probably be a given if your actions work.
How would you do it and try to spare the American workers and middle class with no more taxes or tariffs on them.
I have no background on economy and find it infuriating so I'm just curious as to how people would do it or if it is even possible.

No... They will become the next dominate economic force thanks to our corrupt politicians.

Crawfish on their loans. Confiscate their property worldwide. Ban importation of Chinese goods.

No. They’ve become self sufficient at this point. We need them more than they need us. Honestly to the people in America this is what we are witnessing from Xi Jinping in real time:

Stop buying their shite - and yes- we can screw them. Unfortunately, we have outsourced all of the components we use to build everything from cars, to tractors, to machinery. With the existing supply chain China owns us. It is real and we should do something about it.
As an aside, they are so cash-rich because of our buying binge in the US they can also overpay for US products (food, steel, fuel) and make our prices as US consumers even more unbearable. They have us by the dick and we don't have a leader that can fix it.

A well placed drone aimed at the Three Gorges Dam.

We could do it, if we would stop buying Chinese made shite.
Posted on 5/19/21 at 7:22 pm to Cajun Tide
No. They are a force to be reckoned with and it is only going to get worse as they get more developed and aren't punished for all the egregious shite they do.

You could stop buying their shite and invest in American and Mexican factories and manufacturing
Americans are too fat, lazy, spoiled, stupid, and pathetic to undertake what that means.
For example, We’d have to wait a couple years to get iphone plants up and running or maybe not have new phones every year. that’s too much sacrifice.
Our grandparents sacrificed their lives and youth to beat communism and fascism.
We happily accepted both because were too pathetic to sacrifice a minor comfort for a couple of months.

The only way to collapse China in one fell swoop is to eliminate the Three Gorges Dam, but that starts a war unless the military made it look natural somehow.

Stop buying their shite and exporting our labor and their economy would collapse in a matter of weeks.
Now of course we'd never do it, but the "how" is pretty simple

Find a blight that will affect rice.

Another idea would be to absolutely crush US based companies who have a physical presence in China. Make it so financially brutal for someone like Nike or the NBA that they decide it isn't worth it to do business there.

Can't do it without starting a war. Trump was taking a pretty good swing at it and they sent him covid.
I don't know if Trump's strategy was right or wrong but he knew who the enemy was. China seemed to not like him, so I lean towards he was right.

China does not waste their money on wars and welfare. We have destroyed our economy by dumbing down our educational system and useless government regulations among other things.
Posted on 5/19/21 at 8:15 pm to Cajun Tide
President, probably not. You, me, and millions of other Americans, yes.
Posted on 5/19/21 at 8:31 pm to Cajun Tide
Trump was on the way to doing just that until Chyna launched a vilification weapon against the world.
