With that in mind, what do you think of the current situation? The US maximize price based optimization (get the best deal) while China maximize population occupancy (everyone must work, nobody is educated = low salary, high industrial out, low output price - one might say to make its population calmer, or simply because for them being busy > getting the best deal).
You then have the largest oldest country in the world trending toward mass slavery reducing prices for the richest most abstract country trending towards 0 productivity in exact opposite.
What is the end game? All americans, getting everything for free losing the ability to build anything while all Chinese work at their own health cost to provide the best prices while being the only ones able to produce anything ?
I think a more balanced local mini supply chain would help both countries and Im glad it s heavily discussed all over the world (decoupling from China, Chinese industries realizing their Chinese employees are now their best clients)
