America’s progressives can’t give-up our dependence on China for so many items, because changing supply-chains, returning manufacturing, etc... would destroy Democrat-left-progressive rule.
Exactly.
Most politicians are heavyly invested in China.
But the article is forever long when the answer is in one sentence: Is it more important to have a cheap source for essential goods or is national security more important?
And the answer is either yes or no.
“America’s progressives can’t give-up our dependence on China for so many items, because changing supply-chains, returning manufacturing, etc... would destroy Democrat-left-progressive rule”
The highest rate of offshoring and shutting down of US factories to China happened under the George W. years. I remember Rush and Hannity praising cheap goods from China.
I do not know a single liberal who wants to buy from China.
It is the elites and billionaires of both parties who want to keep trading with China. They do not give a hoot about the American worker.
IN a Bloomberg poll in October, 73% of American companies said they plan to continue their busines in China and I cannot remember the exact figure but 60 some percent plan on increasing their production in China.
Both parties have sold us out.
