Thanka, but I am not the only one that repeats things often here. Also, China may have done many things before Covid like participating in the Korean War. But their population and middle class started to increase only AFTER they opened up trade with the US (and stole our technology). I never really thought that the US got real benefits from the trade with China. Recently, our dependency on China as a parts supplier to automobiles has played out. And in the future with Robotics and A.I. ,we need them a lot less.

As far as the Chinese worker shortage goes......that's their problem. I just stated that their totally messed up response to Covid has hurt our supply lines and shown the downsides of outsourcing in general. From China's point of view, they badly handled their Covid problem and they locked down whole cities. Some people locked in small apartments may have gotten so "stir crazy" that they committed suicide by pills or jumping off roofs. China is not going to release statistics about THOSE deaths. Then, there would be X - unknown deaths from Covid itself. And MORE deaths from the clash between Police and rioters.

So, the net result is FEWER available Chinese factory workers because of Covid (I can't say AFTER Covid because after Covid does not exist anywhere) - (a 40% increase in the US currently). That IS my point. Covid has caused the deaths of many Chinese workers. I don't see how that statement can be argued against.
