Biden will reverse course.

jedberg 6y ago
I’m not so sure. Public sentiment is against China right now among Republicans and Democrats. Also at their current growth rate their GDP will surpass the USA around 2025. It would be a uniting thing across party lines to rally around hurting the Chinese economy.

  I agree - Biden is also launching his made in America campaign which will only push things further. On your point of 2025 I don’t think that is quite right since they would need to grow by 150% in 5 years with the US not growing at all (both would be very unprecedented) but the overall point remains.

    Is he really? That sounds hopeful. I'd perhaps wrongly assumed that the Democrats would undo Trump's efforts to create and keep jobs in the US and revert to unfettered globalism.

      https://joebiden.com/madeinamerica/ https://joebiden.com/madeinamerica/ Yeah, it should be interesting - Biden hasn’t traditionally been as protectionist but it looks like whoever gets elected, globalism has definitely past its peak

        Biden's not doing anything himself. His handlers are just saying things to get the votes. He's been in office for decades and hadn't achieved anything other than selling out to China and now he wants to promise stuff? Looks like stating facts rustled some jimmies.

        Further, I think it's likely that these are not empty campaign promises on Biden's part. From 2011: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15124510/what-id-do-differently-vice-president-joe-biden-interview/ https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15124510/what-id-do-d... JB: I would have, just because I don’t accept this proposition that somehow the U.S. cannot handle a heavy-duty manufacturing capacity, that we should shift our focus to service industries. Look at Japan and Germany—their labor costs are as high as ours. Big countries have to be able to make big things. Have to.

        I was downvoted for my original question for some reason but thanks for sharing this - I genuinely had no idea that the Democrats were on the same page here.

      Globalism will resume unfettered, just not to China.

  protectionist - made in America; anti-Communist - move to anywhere but not C countries (like Soviet Union era, kind of Cold War) Now if it is protectionist, the jobs would NOT go to India but instead ship it from USA (practicality aside but theoretically that is what protectionist meant). Instead, it is Indian/Brazil protectionist plus anti-Communist that is the game here. China is a clear and present threat.
