The claim that countries that do manufacturing for export have decarbonized faster than the rest of the economy is interesting. Prior to the pandemic, one sometimes heard that even if you had a desire to do a particular manufacturing step outside of China, the advantages of being in a manufacturing region that was set up for scale, that had so many of your suppliers etc made it much faster and cheaper to set up production for a new product, iterate and change the parts you needed etc. Was some portion of decarbonizing manufacturing exports the sheer concentration of manufacturing steps in the area? Parts don't need to be shipped as far between steps etc? In 2020/2021 people began talking about the need to make supply chains more robust by spreading out and replicating production capabilities more. Will that re-carbonize some of that manufacturing process?
