Re: Fuck China
Sanctions may hurt, but China has historically had an independent mindset. Look what's happening with Huawei and all. Don't be surprised if you push China away and they decide to go it alone. It's been part of their mindset for centuries. Like I said, they got two billion people (a good deal expendable--remember Korea), plenty of internal resources, and a decent number of outlets that can't be readily controlled by the West (think Africa et al). Let's just say China can still play a longer game than the West, especially today.
Oh, and sneaky folks exploiting the status quo usually are already versed in money laundering techniques and other ways of getting around pesky little things like targeted sanctions.
