The USA is not able to be fighting two wars at the same time in Ukraine and Middle East, being militarily constrained in the manufacturing of more weapons with China reining in its rare earth magnets for USA military contractors. Remember that these two are just peripheral wars that the USA is participating in, not directly involved. What if there is a full-fledged war against China and Russia together?
China hits the USA where it will hurt most and is not interested in useless acts just for show like the sanctioning of trees, animals, opera houses, football owners and irrelevant nonsense. They achieved nothing of substance, just evoking laughter and derision.
Just look at the destruction of USA farmers alone tells us about China's strategic retaliation targets. China need not fire a single bullet to bring them down. China made them collapse like a house of cards, just using a little push like a gust of wind or someone blowing out candles. Of course, before China did that, it already made sure that its decision is covered by migrating its agricultural supply sources elsewhere like Brazil, Argentina and Russia. Now China has another safety valve to fall back on - Indonesia.
The Philippines is now suffering the collateral damage for standing behind the USA, with its agricultural exports like durians unable to be exported to China, beside bananas. China is targeting the Philippines in its agricultural sector now and Philippine farmers are facing the same dilemma as soya bean farmers in the USA.
Betting on the wrong horse can have serious consequences.

USA's rich consumers can now use plenty of cheap soya beans to make tofu, the staple of poor 'peasants' in China, better than letting them rot in silos. Having said that, the USA probably need tofu expertise to teach them how to do that and create dishes using tofu. So much for making fun of Chinese chefs teaching them how to cook.
But J. D. Vance will look down on poor 'peasant' food, telling USA consumers not to eat 'peasant food' or lower their status as the richest country in the world, LOL. Those soya beans are meant to be sold to 'peasants' in China as food, not eaten by rich USA consumers. But J. D. Vance himself is reported to be using eyeliners supposedly made in China by 'peasants'. He should not be humiliating himself by buying things made by peasants using money borrowed from those 'peasants'.
