And it's not difficult to see why. For about 25 years (before Trump) the government of the United States made it easier to manufacture stuff in China than in the US, stripping the country bare of vital manufacturing capacity. The process is still ongoing in Europe, with no end in sight. Of course there won't be any manufacturing capacity remaining, and of course fresh grads wouldn't be interested in training for jobs that do not exist. That's not because the Chinese are inherently smarter or more talented. That's because the US government had allowed the business establishment to ship everything overseas for a quick buck. To say that China somehow "caught up" to the US using nothing but their own wits is, well, dim-witted.
