Exclamation point on that last paragraph.
I posted a chart here to someone else a few months ago. It’s showed movement of jobs/factories to China on a line graph for 25 years or so. It graphed year and number of jobs leaving the US—it almost perfectly fit Obamas 8 years, started rising rapidly after he began and peaked towards his end.
Not to let the Bush neocons and Clintonistas off the hook either, that’s when it first started to become significant.
You wouldn’t happen to have that chart still ?
