The TS article from Epoch Times is concerned about the rare earth minerals being cut off. We have tons of food coming to this country from China, we had parts for military machinery coming from China.
Only fools destroy their own production capability by allowing a foreign source to drive their industries into the dirt. This has been done by design.
It was. China offered to produce parts, food, and equipment at rates U.S Workers/Companies couldn’t hope to match. Often subsidizing their companies to further drive down their companies costs allowing them to further undermine U.S Companies.
Because U.S Workers want things like Work-Life-Balance. Insurance and Health Benefits. Livable wages etc. Meanwhile the Chinese get paid peanuts in comparison. Have fewer benefits and work longer hours. So U.S Companies flocked to do Business in China.
Also helpful is the Chinese have a fraction of the Environmental Laws. So it’s comparatively easy to dispose of Industrial Waste. And Mine for Metals. Both of which can be environmentally destructive. Especially when done with efficiency of extraction in mine. Versus preservation of health and the environment.
Which contributes to saving U.S Companies very large sums of money. Money that pad earnings reports for shareholders and ends up in CEO Bonuses. Which eventually ends up in political campaign funds. Which fund candidates in support of more outsourcing and overseas trade. So the Shareholders, CEOs, and Corporate Management can continue to make piles of money.
The Chinese are also in part funding Woke. Their heavy investments in tech companies, and seeming rise of woke, and other seemingly inane political ideologies on both sides of the aisle aren’t complete coincidences. Sew Discord, Distrust and uncertainty in your opposition is a sensible strategy. And it happens to benefit our own political elite so they aren’t going to take serious action. Even if they use it rhetorically in political speeches.
I’ve been told that it’s the “Free Market” at work. And we should copy the Chinese if we want to stay competitive. And that taking action to stop Chinese Companies for undermining the U.S Economy is horrible, uncompetitive, and an assault on Freedom.
To put it another way. The U.S and West opened up to China because we thought we could repeat the fall of the USSR and Warsaw pact. The Chinese however decided to settle in for the long game. To undermine the West. Out of Malice and perhaps revenge as well. For several centuries of embarrassment, territorial concessions and abuse.
