There is almost no way American can be fair with their sanctions and continue with their materialist lifestyles. In other words, America would be cutting off it's nose to spite it's face if it were to impose sanctions on some of these countries especially China, who owns a lot of American debt. To give some idea of just how detrimental it would be to the American economy, take a look at the table below Table 7: China's Top Trade Partners, 2010 ($ billion) Source: PRC General Administration of Customs, China's Customs Statistics Rank Country/region Volume % change over 2009 1 United States 385.3 29.2 2 Japan 297.8 30.2 3 Hong Kong 230.6 31.8 4 South Korea 207.2 32.6 5 Taiwan 145.4 36.9 6 Germany 142.4 34.8 7 Australia 88.1 46.5 8 Malaysia 74.2 ...
