What is that going to do after they already admit China is self-sufficient? Is this the same Trump nonsense all the way from the beginning where he said he would buy the more expensive American product in the construction of his buildings if they were available. Plenty of empty US factory space where a US billionaire tycoon could start making the components himself… But then when held accountable for not following through, he blamed China for pointing an imaginary gun to his looking to make every penny he can head forcing him to buy a less expensive Chinese alternative that he said he would choose not to buy?
The whole point of this is because the West is still dependent on the cheap stuff China provides. You’re not going to be in business long thinking about how not to save money. They still think they would rather buy the more expensive alternative if it were available.
No more selling losing money businesses like Nexperia that uniquely Chinese ingenuity turned around into something necessary for Western products? Maybe the West can develop overpriced EV components that China is already only producing and mastering that they’ll then deny China from buying. Still believing the West can only make the best that they hope to deny to China. What a losing business model where you’re going to start a hi-tech business just so you can deny China from buying its products. The West thinks they can recall ships that already sailed.
What the United States truly needs to do is revitalize its basic education system. Otherwise, a vast pool of outstanding human capital risks being wasted amid the haze of fentanyl and marijuana abuse. In fact, it is astonishing to expect a nation’s technology and higher education to rely excessively on importing high-quality talent—an approach that is inherently unsustainable.

Why is the USD in high demand? It's because America has global political and military dominance. (It used to also have tech dominance, making it so that countries needed the USD to buy its world-leading tech but that is dying or dead in most places replaced by China.) If China overtakes both, and it's already far superior in manufacturing most things (soon to be everything), then why does anyone want the USD? If China prefers or demands non-US currencies, what value does the USD have if it cannot buy what everyone wants, which is made in China? Then how will the US react to prevent countries from not accepting the USD if its political and military powers are eclipsed by China? This is the recipe to cripple America's root of power, which is the USD and the sanctions made possible by its reserve currency status.
Reread my first post. Nothing needs to replace the USD; the world does not need a reserve currency. The reserve currency status of the USD is a power that the US unnaturally gave itself after WWII. Without it, international trade would be a little encumbered, but it would make sense. Every country would have to produce something useful for its currency to be useful in trade. Right now, you have countries that are consumers and countries that are producers, with the consumers basically being leeches trading little more than freely printed paper money for real goods. This is not a balance; this is the remnant of colonialism and a result of what the Western winners of WWII imposed. It can stop completely and the world would be better, fairer, more balanced and the only people crying about it would be the Anglos who used it to rob the world.
Not really. Geography is based on politics. Are your neighbors your friends or are they your enemies? If you are strong, no one dares to be your enemy. If you are weak, everyone looks at you like a piece of meat. If China blows past the US, we can easily turn Mexico (and apparently Canada was well as long as they remember how Trump and MAGA treated them) into enemies of the US. With the power of the USD diminished, America will struggle to fund any military. Then, China sells our B level military tech to Mexico, Canada and Cuba, with Mexico starting border issues all the time because they remember that everything from Texas to California should be theirs, Canada harassing the US over little islands and fishing rights, and Cuba constantly buzzing the now dilapidated USN just 40 miles from Florida, you will have the US in the worst geography possible, just like that.
All military power is relative. To reduce someone's military power, all you need to do is develop yours faster than theirs, like China is doing right now.
The dude is such an ordinary dude in the worst way possible. His language shows minimal education and his plans are rooted in redundancy (let's steal global talent) or factual inaccuracy (China doesn't care about its single men so they'll send them to fight our drones). I really cannot understand how he is the CEO of anything other than like a fast food joint.
See, the Chinese people in the US either excel in tech or they hold up hanjian signs. I have almost never seen one who does both. Alexandr Wang is extremely rare. You cannot usually fool intelligent people into pouring their lives into injuring themselves and the global brand/image of their genetic being.

Yeah, that ship sailed from the US around 25 years ago. The average young person in the US simply doesn't have the environment to cultivate mental fortitude, work ethic, curiosity, drive and truth be told, cognitive capability anymore versus the average young person in China. Simply different breeds at this point. Not saying it's completely genetic. Both components of nature AND nurture create the greatness in a human being. It is what it is.
How about India? Do they have the environment for nurturing great people?
