Perhaps you did say that my old friend - my memory is getting poor here lately.

I'd have thought I'd say high tariffs on Made in China,

That is one solution - that doesn't stop thier theft though eh? Even canada is getting pissed off lately on all this theft of IP by china.

confiscation of China's assets in USA control,

You are a drug company - you put much into R&D - how does that stop thieving? You have to win peoples hearts - change thier minds. I know lots of geeks back in the atari ST days that stole all kinds of game software - then when the atari ST game developers all went broke and didn't make any games - the "pirates" said damn - why aren't there any new games - and then they were sad and cried a lot and wished they could go back in time and do things differently - but it was over.

blockade of China and tax on oil going there,

Now we are getting somewhere - I just don't see this as a real possibility though - a blockade would certainly get things rolling - but do you see that as a real concern in the future? The straits of hormuz - we could have some fun there I bet - but then you got those new air cargo blimps that would just come take the place of sea shipping lanes.

and only in the most extreme circumstances would nuking be considered.

Boy I hope not Maurice - I just watched a special today on the DOOMSDAY CLOCK - 7 minutes to midnight - and most of the experts agree once the nukes get rolling - there is no good strategy on how to stop a nuclear war - so THE END eh? They showed MAD MAX 2 the road warrior right before it - HAHA! I would feel quick and extreme assassination of anyone that laucned a nuke A OK - send the jackals and hitmen in - its sad really that to keep us all friendly - we have to be able to blow up the planet 100 times over - what if a few nukes go off by accident?

One doesn't make profits by nuking customers.

None of those atari ST developers made profits off all those "PIRATES" either - that was a great game by sid meier by the way. If your customers don't understand the mechanics of capitalism and sidestep the machinery - there is no good way for it to end eh?

One needs to encourage them to buy with judicious enforcement of trading rules.

Senator Schumer came back toning down his attacks - not increasing them - that is the wrong direction eh?
