And you think that is healthy. Stats can say anything . China is destroying the USA. the electronics industry was invented in the USA . now china makes all our electronics. and they ship them half way around the world . So you think this is natural or healthy ? not it's destructive to the USA and unnatural. but that's not the only industry . China is destroying the others that are left like the steel industry which only produces 1/10 what China does now as I showed in the graph above.
OK, forgetting all the complex economic reasons some manufacturing functions have moved to Asia, what do you think the answer is?
A total give up and hide away from the rest of the world?
The US represents 5% of the global population and is growing more slowly than the rest of the world.
Where do you think our economic growth is going to come from over the next 30 years? Trading with our own relatively small and flat market or with the huge, more rapidly growing rest-of-the world?
