Is it possible for the west to build enough factories fast enough to offset a cutoff from China ?

It’s obvious a conflict would lower the standard of living for both countries, but I suspect Chinese people are willing to put up with worse qualities of life compared to westerners.

China went though a boom in quality of life, so in the same lifetime they are “returning” to what they had before.

Americans especially lived a pretty cushy life for the last few generations.
