China and Russia would have surrender if they could not move, shoot or communicate with their Armed Forces - not so for the USofA. Our capacity to "disarm" and decouple Enemy Governments (read Russia + her Allies and China + her Allies), they will accept cease fire and surrender terms; for China proposed Terms are a break up into 9 differnt nations under US-UN Supervision.
The US has the capacity to protect vast numbers of electronic components, and we also have the ability to produce electronic components after an EMP war which would destroy Asian production. Can you imagin a world where the US becomes a power broker in Electronic Components which are worth their weight in gold one the production facilities and trade routes destroyed and disrupted? We could re-supply ourselves (economic boom) and the Friends/Allies of the US.
EMP is a way to win wars without actually killing populations and armies or fighting.
Stop worrying.

I don't think we have the capacity to produce much in the way of microelectronics now, let alone after such an attack.
Don't forget, that all those factories completely rely on microelectronics to run. After an EMP attack, those factories will be as dead as the personal computers.
The military has been protecting their assets against EMP since the 1970s at least. However, the vast majority of civilian assets have no such protection.
An interesting aside: My brother manufactures electrically-isolated rooms, primarily for medical scanners (CAT, PET), but they also can be used to protect what's inside from EMP. They are seeing a significant increase in business from companies that want to build such rooms to house their servers and backups.
