Being "economically independent" really doesn't work if you want to be a capitalist country. Just about every since economist on Earth will tell you this. This stuff has been known for centuries, since David Ricardo came up with his theory on comparative advantage.
Yeah, countries tried autarky (economic independence) before... recently most notably in the 1930s... right before they were planning on going to war.
