Now we are reaping the rewards of a supply chain that is controlled by the same country who looks to overthrow democracy anywhere in the world. I think US based manufacturing HAS FINALLY REALIZED the results of this policy. No parts to make their products. All other manufacturers as well that rely on micro-chips and other overseas produced components, are suffering because of the policy of outsourcing supplies going to other countries. The United States CANNOT be the economic engine for the world. We assist many other countries. Who assists us when we need it?

Who assists us? Well, that would be Canada, the UK, France, Australia, and many, many allies AFTER 9/11 - when we were sneakily attacked. I have NOT forgotten that mess. Now WE OWE a lot to all those countries. And Japan supported us somehow, but they did not have a large army to send. So, today China is menacing Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and even the US west coast and maybe even all cities in the US with their newest missiles.
......So, my bottom line is that I won't watch their Olympic broadcasts and I agree that all the athletes from Democracies should boycott their country because going there gives China $ money and world prestige. And I further think that we should start a SLOW boycott of ALL the manufacturing products from China and ANY other communist country. We are at a pivotal moment in History. If we got away from China then products would cost more in the short term, but we could trade with Canada, the UK, Sweden, and ALL other Democracies and long term then the cost of products and farm produce should stabilize downward from technologies like factory farming, AI, robotics, and robotic factories. And we could raise the GNP of our fellow Democracies at the same time. As Paul Revere once cried out, "Give me Democracy or give me the slow death of a 3rd world country".
