I think that the US is responsible for China becoming an economic monster / giant. And now that economic Frankenstein's monster wants to eat its maker. It would NOT be easy, but we need to reverse the process. At the beginning of the pandemic, the US did not even have enough MASKS for Americans because we were OVERLY dependent on China. That is just a small example. Today it is electronic chips that are holding back the US manufacturing of vehicles.
.......US security would be improved by every factory that LEFT China and RETURNED here. The US middle class could be strengthened instead of the Chinese middle class. There are plenty of men and women in the US that do not have a College Degree and would like to work in a factory. That might even be the answer to lowering crime. Give people a purpose. And the US needs a road building and mass transit building program to accommodate all the new population. Our current road and bridge system would probably be about right for 250 million people.
.........US people fighting each other over "culture wars" issues and hating on shoe brands that advertise toward young people that routinely have little bias is just playing into China and other dictators' hands.
