Furthermore, in the news china is trying to find uranium in the seas in universities, but china can always import uranium from africa and other lands like australia. It is not a waste of time to research how to get more uranium but there is always the options of importing raw materials to power those industrial factories. The whole opium was goes to show how important trade was to britain to enrich themselves. China can't afford to be isolated completely like in qing dynasty. USA attempt to isolate china in semiconductors goes to show how important trade is to today's china. China needs to break out of containment and trade with europe if america chooses to go down the path of isolating china.
