If China gets into an recession (probably already is), and at the same time starts a war against Taiwan, what will happen to oil stocks?

If you suggest OXY could be a hedge to some situations that scare Buffett, it is too tiny a position for a company of Berkshire's size. And a basket of oil companies or oil future would be much better, and maybe add some companies in the defense industry for better effect. What a mess!
