But surely China is doing this regardless of whether America makes it difficult or not. They're dedicated to reducing reliance on any foreign stuff.

- zelon88 7y agoBut the disparity in quality is truly a problem they struggle with. Their stated goal isn't their core competency. Volume is their competency, not quality. For example, they can't even use a lot of their own materials in aerospace because they have no tracability. That's why nobody builds airplanes in China. If Airbus or Boeing could get a reliable part out of China instead of the US they would love to ship they can save money, but that's not possible and no country would let that plane in their airspace. Probably not even China. China knows this and buys their quality products from elsewhere. It's not cost effective enough yet for them to change that strategy. We are changing that for them.
