Decoupling from China?


Sep 11, 2020, 2:17 PM

Nothing to see here, move on.

"Some are pushed into forced labor factories where it is alleged that they produce goods for well-known companies such as Apple, Nike, Sony, BMW, and Volkswagen. Why does a shoe factory need watchtowers filled with police watching a barbed-wire perimeter?


The imprisonments continue to this day. Grieving families have no idea where their loved ones are, or if they are even alive.

Last Friday a group of Uighurs brought their message to the steps of the State Department in D.C., calling for action from the United States and the rest of the world. They seek an end to the horrific treatment of their people in China and freedom from the repressive Chinese government..."

my new MacBook Pro came in yesterday...and the reason I guess it took so long is it came directly from Shanghai.

So did my sandblast cabinet, my HPLV paint guns, my mig welder, my soldering station, grinder, dual action sander/buffer and all of the new tools I've bought in the last few years.

China is dominating the world and what scares me most is their production standards have rivaled nearly everyone else on the globe.

Whatever it takes to keep those jobs away and goods cheap

Part of our cheap debt anti-inflation longball game plan. If we don't use China's slave labor we'll use some other dirt cheap third world labor. Heck, China's moving into Africa to make their stuff and our stuff even cheaper. Chinese company makes shoes in Rwanda to sell to Americans. That's where we were heading.

We make stuff here and the wheels come off. Taking everything China makes and producing it domestically will break us. Nope. If not China it will be someone else. Used to be Malaysia, then Taiwan. Then Japan. Then Mexico and Central America. Then China.

Someone will step up.
