| LurkerJ said: I have to point out that this "debacle" has been largely positive as it allowed American companies to diversify their supply chains out of China. These tariffs are the reason countries like India are stepping up their manufacturing game, allowing China to monopolize industrial production has been terrible for all countries, not just the USA. Why would you want to allow one country to withhold all the manufacturing power of our most used devices? That's a recipe for disaster, the whole world was willingly allowing Beijing to become their sole provider of their most used goods because of greed, something had to be done about it. |
Maybe now politicians can use covid19 debacle to take a stand against shutting down factories, even if it meant more expensive goods. Automate everything if you must, but to simply be dependent on China, of all countries, for us to live the life that we know is a recipe for disasters.
