The US has the material resources it needs to keep the machine running.
China does not.
That's all I've said, and I already know you have some strawman ready, so go ahead and I'll point out that I didn't say whatever made up shit you will pretend I said.
Price is dependent on the size of the surplus, we produce about 22 million barrels of oil per day, and we consume about 20 million barrels of oil per day. About 30% of our consumption comes from imports. If the global price of oil rises, and we start buying less oil, that reduces our surplus and prices will rise inside the United States.
