It's kind of hilarious how US has been trying to find all kinds of ways to screw China over economically, and China just flexes by restricting a couple of items surgically causing panic in US. It's such an elegant way to let Americans know that China can fuck over their whole economy overnight.
Sometimes China didn't even need to do anything.
Toilet paper, for example.
Indeed, US is already a house of cards, so not exactly in the best position to fight an economic war with China of all places.
Bidet sovereignty. Don't go to economic war unless you can be sure your people can still clean their bottoms.
