The US imports it’s oil from a variety of nations for a variety of reasons, largely to avoid being held hostage to one country or consortium. Imagine the leverage the leverage Russia would have over China. I’m sure the lessons of oil embargoes haven’t been lost on China.
I don’t know if one nation alone could fill the void of an embargo against China.
