US DoD Declares "Can No Longer Do Business" With Contractors Using Dahua, Hikvision, Huawei
 

</snip>
 

On March 26, speaking at virtual conference GovCon, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for DoD Acquisitions, Katie Arrington, stated:
 

... in August of 2020, if any of our contractors in the Department of Defense or our industrial base have Huawei, ZTE, or Hikvision video surveillance cameras, or telecoms, we can no longer do business.

Imagine a nation with 1.3Bn people. This nation can't feed itself and relies on food imports, especially from the US.

 

Now imagine that nation not having access to said food imports. How long would said nation survive once the food riots began in their major cities?

 

Just thinking out loud here.

They would go to war to feed themselves. We would need new markets.

  Add to the mix geographical neighbor India who most likely lacks the financial capability along with the distribution to address its own Coronavirus concerns.  Further, while not abundant in food India is not starving.  Even though the Himalaya's and the Tibetan plateau have made effective barriers in past era's they would not hold off modern hostilities if India felt it were being actively undermined politically or China making the first in a series of moves to secure food.  A very tense situation could unfold in Asia before it is all said and done.  Russia and the Korean Peninsula as wild cards in all this.

Well they did it in a very clandestine Machiavellian way. They need to pay the price to the extent that it will put their economy on a whole new trajectory. Let them pay a heavy enough price that they'll soon not forget their machinations.
