Let's speak about a pressing part of current affairs from a purely business outlook.
Trump has threatened to cut any trade with countries who still trade with North Korea. This, obviously, means China. Cutting trade will absolutely annihilate the Chinese economy.
If this hypothetically happened, where could the USA encourage more growth and why?


>My opinion
A lot of manufacturing jobs could be moved to the USA, but this would be expensive. Labour isn't cheap enough. The majority of Chinese trade seems to be consumer goods, and paying people a normal wage for the USA won't be very lucrative to companies in the fallout.
The USA could very effectively direct the manufacturing to Central and South America. The Labour is going to be much cheaper than basing it in the USA, and geopolitically, the USA will be able to get even more involved in controlling the entire continent. The entire Americas would essentially be a USA protected, extremely heavily influenced USA trade federation.
Corporations flooding into these regions would not only raise living standards, they would increase the dependence on the USA rendering foreign influence ineffective.
Alongside this, the logistics of moving goods would be much easier within the continent.

These are just some thoughts, what do you guys think?
