Does China need Walmart more than Walmart needs China?

if you remember, not that long ago, wallmart used to pride itself on caring only American products. Now it's almost all Chinese. It wont be fast, but wallmart can, and will, source from other countries and America soon. It was a short term and bad business decision to go all Chinese, a decision they will pay for. I do expect to see harbor freight going out of business soon.

Solve two problems at once; build factories and facilities in South America (Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua etc.) and import the goods from there, plus give the local populations a reason to stay there and build their own countries up because their economies and standard of life improves. The biggest problem in most of these countries is corruption at all levels of government (the worst being at the local level because it goes under the radar). Make the investments contingent on oversight of where the money is going.

HF quality, and prices, have been increasing over the years.

I wouldn't count them out quite yet. There are lots of countries in Asia who would love to take the place of China in our supply chain. The can probably get better quality at not much more cost from India, where a lot of people speak English.
