i’ll check him out, although apparently he has been predicting the fall of china for years so i can already tell i will disagree with him a lot. it’s my opinion that china will overtake america due to it’s superior governance system.

I feel it does matter where the work is going. Getting a good idea what the big players are doing will help secure your future finances. Investing right now is the perfect time. Dollar is up all stocks are down. There’s money to be made.

Thanks I knew a lot of manufacturing is going to Vietnam. To avoid tariffs on ebikes and solar panels. Noticed just the other day on Alibaba that a lot of bulk plastic products are moving to India too. Nice to see someone else confirm what I’ve noticed. Also I agree that China has become to leading power in the world. The fact that they dropped the ball on the virus. Yet the world praised them should be a big enough sign. Our government including the president have been using the catch phrase “a level playing field”. It’s because they plan on using a 3rd party digital currency to replace the petrol dollar.

what makes you feel that they dropped the ball?

It’s in their culture to ignore and pass blame. They call it saving face. The big example that sticks out in my mind. When the first cases were reported they had a giant community dinner. Full on buffet style a block down from the wet market in wuhan. Also they tried to cover it up in general in the first weeks.

compare the timeline of Chinas response to SARS-CoV-2 to the timeline of Americas response to H1N1 in 2009

Sars didn’t spread bc of the mortality rate. They just died to quickly to be able to effectively spread it. Kinda like comparing apples to oranges.

I would think the “outsourcing” of the U.S. economy ACTUALLY started under everybody’s hero, Ronald Regan, followed by Big Bush, super-accelerated by Clinton, and ALL subsequent Presidents, the current one included. The main culprits were/are/forever will be the politicians (Congress AND Senate). What all of them have done is gotten individual citizens to pit themselves against one another, aligned each with a particular party, convinced each that’s “it’s their fault”. It’s quite evident now during this Virus crisis, NONE of them have a clue how to safeguard the “average citizen”. The very ones promised “a new day” or some nostalgialistic (MAGA) are the ones majorly affected by this crisis, working class white citizens. This really shone a light on the unpreparedness of the Government. No, not just the “last two administrations”…ALL OF THEM. Keep electing someone, looking for a Savior, hoping for an earlier/happier existence, WE will continue to be disappointed. FYI, I am an Independent, previously voting for members of BOTH Parties. ALL, do be safe, healthy and, vigilant.

I didn’t say last two admins I said the last few. The two previous to what we have now did the most, but you are correct it’s been happening for decades. Now we have someone preaching America first and people are mad about that? Don’t matter the party they are just two sides of the same coin.

Kim stuffers from little man syndrome, he’s said it before that China should and will be the economic superpower of the world. Doesn’t matter if you get all the manufacturing contacts or not if you have a huge amount of the company stocks which they have been buying up like mad

Only answering your question as to not being politics into this, but personally I think it was mainly them. Who was worried about China getting their feelings hurt. Enough of politics unless you want to talk about a revolt to get our rights back. In the town I’m in there are requiring masks, bad thing about that is it’s against state law for an adult to have their face covered. The mayor can’t over rule state law so now their police will harass you for not wearing a mask and for wearing one. There just went the 4th amendment right out the window. They’ve already trampled the first. In Kentucky they fined people for a drive in church service where no one was out of their car. It’s getting insane. This needs to end soon or there will be major problems. The numbers here aren’t even 10% of what Gates’ model predicted even with social distancing.
