Using AI and robotic properly, the US could make goods cheaper than China. Don't forget China's market (which is us) is an OCEANS trip and cost away. So, we have that advantage when we MAKE goods ourselves and SELL goods to ourselves. When we 1st started outsourcing to China, they were a WEAK military power. Trade with us MADE them STRONG. Now they are a strong military power. And they threaten us. Where were the ROCKET SCIENCE POLITICIANS that did NOT see this coming? It was pretty obvious. Now we are in a"PICKLE"......as they say!
