I think that if a war was to break out, it would be like US vs Japan in WW2. Except we would be Japan and China would be the US.

Taiwan invasion is something we should be able to see coming way in advance.
China lacks the amount of landing vessels they would need to mount an invasion.
If they start building hundreds/thousands of landing ships, then we should be concerned
WWII was whitewashed.
Japan was in the process of surrendering and the US knew it. They dropped the bombs in order to intimidate the soviets and say that the US won the war.

Tree shaking is essentially reducing the amount of included code to only the stuff being used.
Let’s say you have a JAR, DLL, or whatever with 5 functions.
Your application calls function A which also calls function B of the DLL/jar.
Tree shaking says “hmm, if I follow the code execution path, I only need 2/5 functions from the DLL/jar” and discards the remaining 3/5 functions.
This significantly reduces the bundle size (the bundle is what is sent to the browser).
It’s harder than it looks, especially for miles and miles.
They might know how to do it, but people make mistakes.

They even have these clickers that allow the professor to ask “snap questions” with multiple choice answers so they can check understanding
You can ask questions in auditorium classes.
The 300+ student courses typically were high volume courses like intro or freshman courses.
Second year cuts down significantly in class size, but also depends on the subject.
3rd and 4th year courses, in my experience, were 30-50 students
Plus you have to add in the amortized cost of legal, HR, etc for employees.
Not a big deal for 1-2 employees, but as you scale you need support employees
