You are wrong. American manufacuring productivity is 10 times higher than China. The USA has 18% of the worlds manufacturing output. Half of the Chinese population is living in total poverty. Per capita GDP is only $8,000. The USA has technollogy, innovation and freedom. China does not have this.
I’m wrong? What, is the US actually now a creditor nation with most all it’s working age population engaged in productive, self-supporting economic activity?
And your leap to manufacturing and China doesn’t really address the subject of this thread.
