Good sounding at the highest levels but you quickly reach contradictions. The biggest contradiction is that you're charged with protecting people and your plan of action is going to devastate them far more than the cyberattack did. Real cut off the nose to spite the face stuff. The fact that the Chinese internet isnt cut off should be an indicator that the govt does in fact care about the little man but I'm sure that's a step too far here.

For a short time. The Chinese will be hurt as well. Money may mean a lot to them.

I think the scope of Chinese malfeasance may be underestimated here. It's constant and malicious. Some kind of negative feedback, any kind, would likely have an immediate response.
