Unless they allow the SCS to be navigated freely, there will be no Chinese boats allowed into US waters.
Who owns Maersk and the rest of those massive shipping importers?
It would hurt us as well. Think for a moment how many things you touch each day which have that little sticker "made in China" on them. The US manufacturing base has been so decimated by "Globalization" and the greed of companies vs labor that it would be nearly impossible for us to replace Chinese goods with in country or even in Continent manufactured goods.
This is a BIG deal for everyone.

I have even gotten camo hats from a US PX with the China label inside... think about that for a minute!
