China is no friend to the west. They as a nation and economy need the west a lot more than the west needs them. Not selling goods/products to the US would mean their military spending will go to almost zero.
Speaking of military spending, have you forgotten (or maybe didn’t know) that The Chinese are as advanced militarily due to hacking US and western computers? They’re actually #1 or #2 in the world regarding hacking.
In my opinion, ISIS/Middle East and China is apples and oranges.
Alas, I’m not that smart.

I live in China and work here. China is not interested in a war.
They are however interested in maintaining the status quo on the Korean Peninsula because they need a strategic buffer state between communist China and democratic South Korea.
They do not want American military forces close to their border, that they are willing to risk war for.
They are not preparing for a conflict near as we can tell in the news, social media or word of mouth.

I didn’t put China and ISIS in the same group, you did.
China sells their stuff worldwide, I imagine you’re correct. Which country has the largest economy? I think you know the answer to that.
If US stops purchasing from China, their economy will become even more fragile. Less money for developing the country and their military. Hence why they need the US more than US needs China, in my opinion.

You just do not get it! If america stops trading with china, watch companies go down one by one. China trades the world over. Even in the UK most things are made in China. America not trading with china will hit america economy hard.
China holds the cards in that department.

What am I not getting? I’m obviously missing something other than China gauging the rest of the world in trade matters.
Until you can prove to me otherwise that China rules the trading roost I’m sticking with China needs the US.
You seem to forget that most industrialized countries of the 1st or even 2nd world could produce the same goods China does, and of a better quality. The price might be a little more, it could be done.
Have you ever seen Chinese produced Sheetrock? Or windows?
I’m not that smart tho.
The amount of destruction this requires ... merely a footnote in the pages of history.
Chinese are the bad guys here and President Trump would do well to obliterate them along with the North Koreans. There's a legal war President Trump can Finish. If you're in China and you're reading this ... get out as fast as you can.
President Trump can do anything he damn well pleases where the Korean War is concerned.
