The reason why so many can never take you serious is because you cannot stick to a point and back it up when challenged. You started out implying that China was specifically targeting Red states over Blue states. Then, when it is pointed out that your implication is just incorrect, you shift and try to play off that you were meaning something totally different. If you are going to make a claim, be able to back it up with substance. When you can't, admit you misspoke; don't just try to change the direction of your original intent.

China targeted industries which export a lot to China; they don't care if the products come from red or blue states. All they care about is applying a tit-for-tat. The only industry China could target, that would have any effect on the USA, is agriculture. It just happens to be that most agricultural products come from red states. China will target whatever they believe will have the most impact. And if war were to break out, Silicon Valley would be HIGH on their target list. The US exports Tech and aerospace equipment and oil and oil producing equipment to foreign countries routinely, not just agriculture. All of this however is irrelevant as this discussion of strategic targeting is predicated on the prior destruction of all retaliation capability. In the case of the an enemy targeting the US that means the destruction of all 4000+ bases, 1000+ missile silos and 14 to 18 missile subs. All of this is on the assumption of the current geopolitical and political context. In other words "if a war broke out today" scenario. If a war broke out lets say 5 to 10 years from now, things will obviously be different from whats stated above.
