Trump - An Allied Plan to Depend Less on China

[glockman]

Impossible to isolate China. China can survive on its own because it has a strong-will government with iron-clad control and the majority of Ah Tiongs are willing to trade some freedoms to have freedom to make money.

They can do whatever they want within their country. But one thing is for sure, they won't be making as much money off foreign countries like they used to.

In a nutshell, a powerful and prosperous China under the CCP is detrimental to the world.

From anti trump to pro CCP. My my the lengths trump critics will go.

Whatever your political leanings are, please remember the economic concept of comparative advantage. The ang moh companies set up factories in China for 2 main reasons. (1) Cheaper costs with reliable pool of adequately skilled Labour (2) Huge market. If America can find a better alternative do you think they will hang around China? Do you think they are there to benefit China? The politicians and their spin masters can drum up whatever rhetoric but the businesses will make their own decisions for maximum profitability. If you think the rests of the west will follow America to isolate China, it is a wishful thinking. Countries jostle for advantages and presence in China. The article is yet another piece of NATO articles which will be forgotten. The only thing it shows is US has not come to terms with the rise of China. What US should do is to realise there is no turning back in the rise of China. It will do well to treat China as equal and prosper together. That would help US regain a bit of moral authority and credibility.

A re-examination is overdue. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has set aside $2.2 billion of Tokyo’s stimulus package to assist Japanese companies in relocating production from China to Southeast Asia.

This is a typical mass media article written by a journalist who has never worked in the commercial sector with no sense of numerical proportion. What is $2.2 billion? For a quick sense of context, $2.2 billion is ~0.9% the revenue of Toyota, one single big Japanese company. How is this of any relevance as a national policy to shift the global Japanese supply chains?

The rest of the article has nothing concrete and is just a collection of "should" and "must" opinions by various people which is a nice of way of saying "not happening yet".
