The reason: Beijing feels its economy has become big enough and resilient enough to stand up to the United States.

Just too funny. China does not have the consumer base to buy the junk it produces, nor do most other countries have the funds to buy much of what they produce. When we stop buying plastic junk and cheap electronics from them, we have other places to buy it from and we have the ability to produce it ourselves.

Europe will not buy the loads of stuff we do, Africa is too poor to buy the loads of stuff China NEEDS to sell, and Asia already produces that stuff in competition to China.

Go ahead China, close the trade door to America and we will see who blinks first.

Having been an integral part of big project startups I can verify that they take anywhere up to two years. The regulatory and government interference at all levels is daunting and expensive. My projects we’re all super clean. All the nasty chemicals were in purchased subassemblies, mostly made in countries where production was not expensively regulated. The government at all levels and it’s regulations are a huge impediment to bringing back manufacturing. Then, there is the prospect of government funded victim lawsuits. To bring businesses back all of this would need to change.
