Is therea way to ground them for a month while they think about what they did?
~~Take away his honey~~ No more honey on school nights
Edit: could the US/NATO ground China in some debilliting/deterrent way? Like geopolitically/economically spank them and send them to bed without dinner until they come to Jesus?
All Chinese businesses are owned by the CCP, except the ones that get caught being naughty. Suddenly those are a private business with no ties to the party.
All it would really take is internet providers to black hole the China AS numbers in their BGP configs. Then boom China basically can't talk to the rest of the world.
This should be done with the new axis of evil and let them see how much they truly hate and "need" the destruction of the decadent West. Its insane their shenanigans are still being tolerated at all, cut em off and let them build their own self-sustaining economies and force the West to eliminate their dependance on mercurial and malicious actors on the world stage.
Let's not make the splinternet a reality, pretty please.
Chinese scaling and manufacturing, Russian IT expertise, Iranian experience of sanctions evasion and North Korean hacking and remote operations mastery are not the combo you want to bet against.
They would absolutely build the self-sustaining economy and rival networks, but in the process it would destroy the Internet as we know it, and break communication channels that are vital for democracy and international peace, while also breaking communications between relatives and friends on the two sides.
China is already trying quite hard with its Great Firewall. We don't need to make their job easier for them.
Unrelated but last time they came to Jesus in China 20 million people died.

I don’t know how viable would that be on a large scale, but they could just ban all China-based companies from operating outside like the US did with Tiktok.
I think that would deal a decent blow on their economy, but I’m far from an expert in those fields so someone who knows better will probably come and debunk me.
Like, I just don't get how anybody benefits from this whole axis of evil bullshit. They like Western shit, they want it and they want to make it all, what the fuck is their problem. The world is all mapped out now so anybody trying to pull bullshit should be sanctioned to shit and excluded (Olympics and everything else included) and leaders all get investigated by ICC until they fuck off
Its the same problem as always: the assholes overstep and expect to be protectef but not bound while everyone else is bound but not protected. It is an exceedinly conservative (cynical) worldview.
