It is China who stole 4 million American manufacturing jobs.
White supremacists is a mirage. White Americans are not at the top of heap in terms of education, earnings or crime rates.

China didn’t “steal” those jobs. The 80s macho culture of offshoring, outsourcing, corporate downsizing and asset stripping is what exported that labor.

Thatcher copied the USA when smashing the National Union of Mineworkers, and as an indirect result of her government winning that fight, we’ve lost the industry completely, hundreds of mining towns and communities were smashed up... And, we simply offshored most of the jobs in our fossil fuels industry to Russia, and steel jobs to India and China.

There was even an argument at the time that not only was this a positive shift to cheaper and more reliable sources, the more we offshored jobs to India, China and Russia the faster they’d develop.

Also, the carpet baggers got very rich.

My dad worked for a commercial firm that got the Wall Street / Office Space carpet bagger treatment. 80% of UK jobs were transferred to another country, and a lucky 5% had their redundancy delayed while they had a six month extension, fully expensed, to travel with the machinery to foreign lands to install the kit and train their replacements.

Stole them? We bargained them away - and not just to China.
