I've said it over and over: no American manufacturing can compete with China. Chinese manufacturers make our products for pennies to ensure we have maximum profitability. Our intermediary works to keep costs low for us.
I don't think Americans truly understand the savings of manufacturing in China or other countries.
My small company has 4 products:
Product A: produced by China for $0.71 ea
Product B: produced by China for $0.93 ea
Product C: produced by China for $1.92 ea
Product D: Produced by China for $3.45 ea
If we do 1000 units of each product, our costs are:
A: $710
B: $930
C: $1920
D: $3450
Total: $7010
Even with paying a 104% tariff, it's still cheaper for us than when we manufactured in the US.
Here are the prices we sell these products for:
A: $19.95 -> $19.24 ea profit x 1000 units sold = $19,240 total profit
B: $29.95 -> $29.02 ea profit x 1000 units sold = $29,020 total profit
C: $39.95 -> $38.03 ea profit x 1000 units sold = $38,030 total profit
D: $49.95 -> $46.50 ea profit x 1000 units sold = $46,500 total profit
When we had an American manufacturer, our costs were so much higher and our profit was so much less.
Well, the American workers weren't children. If you let us employ children in the US at less than minimum wage, we could make your product for a more reasonable price.

I believe in Democracy and our Republic, unfortunately a significant number of the capitalists and company owners have sided with dictatorship.
If China wants to attack the places siding with dictatorship, that's quite a choice for them, but ok. Assume they can make more money from it.

I mean, I’ve always suspected as much, but are progressives now openly embracing China now?
What does the Trump US have to do with democracy and capitalism?
Capitalism and democracy are two different, and if we're being really honest, somewhat opposed concepts. The big lie has actually been convincing Americans that capitalism and democracy are one and the same, and they most certainly are not. You can very much have one without the other.
For example, in the US, we have a hell of a lot of capitalism, and not so much democracy anymore. A lot of other countries have a lot less capitalism and way more democracy. Their citizens tend to be happier and healthier, the children don't get gunned down at school in the name of freedom, and their government protects them from the worst impulses of profit seeking corporations.
Open your freaking eyes.

Quite a leap you make in order to support your already held belief.
Trump is destroying democracy. Capitalism is being controlled by his new Mafia state.
We can believe in democracy and capitalism AND laugh at how China is trolling the criminal in chief.

I once attend a seminar on data integrity. It was shocking just his much fraud is pumped out of China. I distinctly remember one slide showing how auditors detected upwards of 80x more fraud in certain applications coming out of China vs the US or Europe. India was the second ranked baddie, with upwards of 11x more types of certain fraud.
I'm not saying China isn't powerful or impressive, but it can be very difficult how much of their pump is face saving paper dragon fraud vs real quality. US still produces the highest quality research, as well as Europe and Japan. China and India are still so sketchy. All the companies looking to do business over there can do so at their own risk.

How long have you been a supporter of communist China? Are you excited that you can now finally be “out” about it?
Do you desire a US version of the cultural revolution and Great Leap Forward?
How many people do you know who you’d like to see murdered by the state in such circumstances? 1? 2? 3-6? More?
You mean like making social elites and government employees work in factories screwing in tiny iPhone screws? Oh, I don' think that's the democrats.

If we were truly going to bring manufacturing jobs to the U.S., this would have been done with an investment in infrastructure and tax incentives for companies to hire American workers.
Because as you’ve illustrated, there is no reason for companies to build manufacturing plants here. And to the extent they do, they will use robots. These aren’t going to be good paying jobs with union benefits.
I cannot believe our own government is trashing the economy and causing unemployment in the white collar sector to “create” fictitious blue collar work. And then apparently laid off feds are supposed to fill these manufacture roles so the people who supposedly need these jobs would still be unemployed because the feds are taking the jobs. It’s such a stupid plan.

So funny!
I’ve also heard that accounts are being manipulated by making accounts follow Trump even if he’s blocked and unfollowing them from liberal politicians. Check who you follow.
