The U.S. Will Surpass China As the No. 1 Country for Manufacturing

perfectly timed for Trumps reelection

The only issue he will have is spinning this into why we are no 1 but need far less jobs to get it done. Or he can just claim he did his best. Either way it still kinda works out for him.

pretty much, although even if the opposite happens, they'll find a way to blame democrats and liberals.

During the Bush administration, they changed the definition of what counts as a "manufacturing job" to include fast food workers. This is why we will surpass china, because America is a nation full of underemployed, over-educated, under-payed and overworked people. We've shifted our manufacturing base to a service industry base at a time when the market values intellectual property more than durable goods.

number one competitive perhaps, but nowhere near number one in output

>protections provided for intellectual property
Kek, China dosen't give a fuck about intellectual property. What is stopping China from buying a product from America, taking it apart, making it for 50 cents then selling it to the world.

The trade pacts and treaties that Trump wants to get rid of do.

>America doesn't make stuff anymore
This has always been a lie, we make as much as we ever did, we just use more robots.

>>95677
I would dare say we make more now.

A Chinese firm completely reverse-engineered Cisco's hardware but due to Cisco making it known that this was in blatant violation of trade pact agreements, they cannot sell their products to any pact members and pact members cannot buy from them until it has been proven that their switching fabric designs are no longer Cisco's. They applied in 2016 but were rejected due to it's design still being highly derivative of Cisco's patented design.

And so the wheel keeps on turning.
