He's gotta find someone to blame when the next recession starts.

He can blame himself and his bad economic policies. Pretty simple. Who cares about China anyway?

Wait until you see how much the typical Westerner cares about Africa.

Trying to explain to explain to people what the US and Saudi were doing to the people of Yemen and being met with blank stares that I eventually had to regretfully assume were because most people could not fathom why the lives of brown Yemenis were of any importance or interest was enlightening in the most horrible way.

Some people don't care about history or politics and view other countries as fictional places.

Specifically the economy we rely on as much as our own because our corporations sent all their manufacturing there.

I hope so. Sending our industry to a foreign country that merely tolerates us will lead us nowhere but straight to hell.

not really, the pandemic boom is over so a lot of manufacturing contraction is happening right now. Product inventories are high and personal debt is also at a high. If the economy took a 180 and boomed again all those chinese factories would be at capacity with US orders. Still no replacement for China yet. Vietnam and India are not there.
