It's probably the medicines that are Switzerland's most important export (although not in dollar terms).

But really it's about Western sanctions on China. When they've done an other crackdown on the Ughyurs, stolen more Western tech or invaded Taiwan.

Plucking figures out of my ass. I'd say there's probably a 50% chance of almost total sanctions by the end of the decade. The USAF General in charge of Air Mobility Command (transport and air to air refueling). Estimates that the war with China could be as early as 2025.

The US isn't going to invade China.

So that leaves fighting Chinese forces in Taiwan and in and around the various island chains.

The USMC has now gotten rid off all of their tanks, reducing the number of F-35s that they're buying.... In order to increase their ability to fight in the Pacific. With weapons such as self-driving trucks launching Norwegian/Naval Strike Missile. Which is an anti-ship missile and later versions also have a land attack capability. So the USMC expects to get involved in a shooting war.
