Apparently when everything's made in China, it gives China a bit of an advantage...

.... who'd have thought, except everyone who said so when the west started outsourcing all their manufacturing work there.

    Fyi, the US is the second biggest manufacturer after China. And per capita the US is a bigger manufacturer.

    China still handles nearly a third of all manufacturing in the world, and the US only a sixth.

    And every dly that goes by that companies send more shit there to be made blows my mind until you realize that corporations have no loyalty to the country in which they reside and stay only as long as the country subsidizes them and allows them to get away with paying no taxes.
