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.

For sure, China is a manufacturing juggernaut, no question. They also have 4 times the population of the US. But in terms of raw numbers, absolutely China is the biggest manufacturer

Every time I go to buy something "Made in USA" from a hardware store, it's measurements are all like 5/8ths of a freedom eagle.

At least the Chinese stuff uses metric, even if it's generally less robust
