Good idea, but other than what Skybird said Germany and the West generally profits very well from producing and buying all kinds of stuff in China; german Bosch has transferred a lot of production to China as VW and others, the US with Apple but also steel industries, and the UK leading by example?
China replaces Germany as UK’s biggest import market
We got used to be able to buy cheap basic resources and meanwhile even high tech products made by workers that earn 40 cents an hour, while "the West" still demands the same old high prices from its western customers by selling chinese products; they are making billions that way.
China already switches to its local inland market to come to terms with future sanctions.
