But something nobody talks about are the sacrifices the population has to do to churn those things out of factories at the same scale as nations desperate to rebuild and feed their people. China succeeded because they went all in, their factory employees are still told today they have to sacrifice their youth to the nation. Will american factory workers work the same way ? Will you proudly join a factory and start building stuff, at the cost of your health? The solution, long term, can only come from China changing their mindset somehow, and then the next few places taking over the gap (I suppose Africa one day will wake up, India is starting a bit) Also, even if America start pulling out, this doesn't make their products automatically superior. Taiwan especially showed they can outpace in execution, maybe in design and even if the US stop buying there, now Taiwan itself can compete and lead where the US will follow: is it better to be independent on bad design or co dependent on good ones ?
