The difference is though that US has been losing manufacturing jobs for 30 years. China did not manufacture
much 30 years ago and exported nothing then.
All I know as a consumer just about everything I buy comes from China.... my damn toothbrush in made in China... oh yeh..just bought a Bissel Vacuum cleaner. it was made in Korea. There’s lots of blame to go around...Government, Corporations, Unions. etc....Eliminate capital gains tax and reduce Corporate taxes and manufacturing will return again.
