China controls about as much of our mfg. dollar as the Arabs controlled American real estate in the early 1980s when there was a paranoia about the Arabs "buying up" American land. They peaked at .001%
That statement is so ridiculous. It is the statement of a man who does not work in manufacturing. It is the statement of a man who doesn't have a clue. BTW the Arabs and Japs couldn't tow our land back to Japan and Saudi Arabia. The Chinese, Mexicans and Indian have got our factories now. And we paid for them.
Rush is right. We are not exporting toymaking/trinket making jobs to China. Period.
Your statements are so convoluted I can't make heads or tails of them. What side of this issue are you on? You are right we are not exporting toy/trinket making jobs. We are exporting heavy industry. When we ordered an injection mold that we couldn't make in house from a tool making firm in Ohio, it arrived from CHINA. That was a wake up call. When practically all the mills and machine tools are made in China that is a wake up call. All our castings come from China (and they are beautiful). (The Indian castings were for shit.) Our steel . . . . (China and Japan) Electronics (Malaysia).
Fine. Explain to me when these jobs "came back."
People were layed off in 91 - 92 because of demand. The factories were still here. The factories are in China, India, and Mexico now. These jobs are not coming back period.
