...become more competitive.
With the Chinese government undervaluing their currency by 40%, it is as if every manufacturer in the US was TAXED an EXTRA 40%!
You try to run a manufacturing business with an additional tax of 40%! Fat chance you would survive, and only if you were very efficient. Manufacturers that exist in the US today are rare and super competent and efficient companies to survive at all.
The Chinese bought off our government to sit back and allow this for years, but now that the American economy is dying, the Chinese may not be able to continue buying them off.
