Americans can only keep their standard of living thanks to cheap labour inputs into production in the far East. Break that and there will be great suffering in America.. I believe we are seeing some of those stresses in Global Supply Chain especially in China over the pandemic eat into standards of living.

A decoupling of trade flows will be mutually assured destruction for both countries. If America had their time again, I'm sure they would send their cheap labour inputs to their Southern sphere of influence (Mexico, Central and Southern America). It is better when your neighbour eats with you than an ideologically opposed country at the far end of the world. Europe eat together in the EU, and America missed an opportunity to carryalong their Southern neighbours like Britain, France and Germany did for Europe. What's done cannot be undone. Porters 5 forces sees to that. As for bringing that manufacturing back, it is well established that rich Western economies mostly focus on food production, advanced technologies and service economy. You can't pay an American $15/hr and still buy three boxer shorts for $5 or headphones for $5 for example.
In the pre world war 2 era America was a net exporter. Enter China and Bill Clinton. Chinese labor is cheap and they are able to manufacture at lowest cost. Which big companies want never mind its slavish labor.
My research tells me that helping china would turn it into a democratic nation, apparently that never happened.
As for global supply chains China is world manufacturing factory and that cannot be easily replaced as most production has shifted there.
Again china was the leading world power centuries before. i would think they want that back.I read somewhere that they build 30k kilometers of roads every year.

America being the biggest proponent of free trade is at the vanguard of globalisation. Without that cheap juicy Chinese and Vietnamese production, what do you think will happen to inflation?
You know globalism exists. No problem with that because most the stuff I buy is Chinese origin. Globalism is terrible to me when those in political positions use it to grab power.
Trump wanted a return to America manufacturing everything. The big boys want a cheap source probably slave labour to manufacture the products they are selling to the world.

basiloco did you know Criminal trump always kept hitler's Mein Kampf at his bedside at certain points in his life?
But the sad story is that Criminal trump is not eloquent (as he's always slurring) or devilish smart like hitler, or a savvy political strategist like that devil.

One thing i'm 100% sure that he is - he is a grifter and a Con man.
Been brainwashed by globalists I see. Trump wanted a return to nationalism.
Joe Biden was given charge of Ukraine. What does he do? His son gets a position in the board of Ukraine energy giant Burisma where they pay him 83k a month for doing nothing. Trump as president asks the Ukraine president to investigate this. What does Pelosi congress do? Impeach him.
Joe Biden goes to China with Hunter. Ten days later Hunter Biden signs a deal with the chinaman where he don't put capital and gets million dollar deal.

Russian mayor sends Hunter 3m around the same time,
Hunter pays Eastern Europe prostitutes thousands of dollars.
Yet you see Trump
Hunter writes that he has been paying family bills for years. His business partner confirms that the senile goat of a president gets 10 percent of the cut that Hunter makes.
You are beyond reproach? Fortunately we have people who can right you here.

---The authority to deploy the National Guards solely lies with the President and not the Leader of the House of Representative---

---Memo sent by the Secretary of Defense Chris Miller on Jan 4, 2021 that to deploy the NG requires his personal authorization---

---so why blaming Pelosi for not deploying the NG---
When will you ever learn that the media is a lying narrative shaping empire?

[b]The Pentagon first raised the possibility of sending National Guard troops to the U.S. Capitol four days before the Jan. 6 riots, setting in motion a series of rejections by Capitol Police and Democrats that left Congress vulnerable as threats of violence were rising, according to government memos that validate Trump administration officials' long-held claims.

An official timeline of the Jan. 6 tragedy assembled by Capitol Police shows that a Defense Department official reached out to a Capitol Police deputy chief, Sean Gallagher, on Jan. 2, 2021 to see if a request for troops was forthcoming, but the offer was quickly rejected after a consultation with then-Chief Steve Sund.

"Carol Corbin (DOD) texts USCP Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher, Protective Service Bureau, to determine whether USCP is considering a request for National Guard soldiers for January 6, 2021 event," the timeline reads in the lone entry listed for Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021.

The following morning, the timeline states, "Gallagher replies to DOD via text that a request for National Guard support not forthcoming at this time after consultation with COP Sund."[/b]

Trump Offered to Deploy 10,000 National Guard Troops in DC Ahead of Jan. 6 - Mark Meadows | 09 Feb 2021 | Former President Donald Trump offered to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops in Washington D.C. prior to Jan. 6, the day of the Capitol building breach, according to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Meadows told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures"that although Trump had been vocal about offering Capitol Police and National Guard presence at the Capitol on multiple occasions last month, his offer was rebuked "every time." "We also know that in January, but also throughout the summer, that the president was very vocal in making sure that we had plenty of National Guard, plenty of additional support because he supports our rule of law and supports our law enforcement and offered additional help," Meadows told host Maria Bartiromo. "Even in January, that was a given, as many as 10,000 National Guard troops were told to be on the ready by the Secretary of Defense" Meadows said. "That was a direct order from President Trump and yet here is what we see...all kinds of blame going around but yet not a whole lot of accountability."

Chairman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi
Six other Democrats: Pete Aguilar, Calif.; Zoe Lofgren, Calif.; Elaine Luria, Va.; Stephanie Murphy, Fla.; Jamie Raskin, Md.; Adam Schiff, Calif.
Two Republicans: Liz Cheney, Wyo., and Adam Kinzinger, Ill.

Who is testifying?

Caroline Edwards – A U.S. Capitol Police officer injured during the Jan. 6 attack. She suffered a brain injury during the insurrection.

Nick Quested – A documentary filmmaker who, along with his crew, captured the first violent moments by the insurrectionists against U.S. Capitol Police officers.
You not answered. Insurrectionists would be armed.

FBI arrests Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley on Jan. 6 misdemeanor charges

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-michigan-republican-candidate-kelley

The FBI arrested Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley Thursday.

FBI agents executed search and arrest warrants at his home in Allendale, near Grand Rapids, and took Kelley into custody, a spokeswoman for FBI Detroit, initially confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Kelley, 40, of Allendale, Michigan, was arrested Thursday morning on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach, FBI Detroit spokeswoman Mara R. Schneider said in an update.
Lets get this clear, Protesting a stolen election is now a crime?

Let me point out. The Jan 6 session to approve the mis election of joe biden was stopped because a pipe bomb was found somewhere near the capitol. Not because insurrectionists unarmed stormed the capitol.
BTW Trump wanted 10k national guards which Pelosi refused,
