Thanks for the link Scott. I love big thinkers that stay out of the political lane mostly.

“ The interest of Chinese manufacturers in Mexico is part of a broader trend known as nearshoring. International companies are moving production closer to customers to limit their vulnerability to shipping problems and geopolitical tensions.

The participation of Chinese companies in this shift attests to the deepening assumption that the breach dividing the United States and China will be an enduring feature of the next phase of globalization. Yet it also reveals something more fundamental: Whatever the political strains, the commercial forces linking the United States and China are even more powerful.”

That was a waste of 4 minutes and 35 seconds of my life.

Xi Jinping sent the guy to the Russian front because he is/was a political threat/adversary.

Don't know who that cat is, but he's suffering from some serious wishful thinking.

He didn't mention X Jinping self anointed himself the permanent president of china, not long after sending the guy to the russian front either. Maybe that was after he made the video.

Any source that doesn't point out it's American companies like GM and Harley Davidson in china hiring chinese labor, ain't worth the time of day anyway.

They're either ignorant and clueless, or paid by the Elite/globalists to confuse matters, to keep others ignorant and clueless.

Greedy consumers demanding cheap products is how we got here.

Next time you’re defending the Chinese junk your buying for your engine and shopping in Walmart remember as well the fentanyl that is killing kids comes from china!

This forum needs a like button.

We want those cheap products because as a society we feel the need to keep up with the Joneses. We're afraid if we don't keep up they won't like us any more.

Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong again. It's much more brutal than people want cheap products, try greed on for starters. Greed is much more brutal.

Everyone can raise their IQ on the topic here.
