  1. China's economy was in a death spiral until it's lowered currency value and slave-wage labor costs allowed it to stay afloat with other countries flocking to it in order to cut expenses. While it was at it, it started stealing ideas from those companies to make their own knockoffs to flood the market with. Any factory taken away from China and moved to the US and any similar product sold from the US is actually a major blow to China. They can talk confident, but everyone else that has folded pretty fast, Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, even Ukraine. Right now, big effort is being made to also bring Russia into the fold, which keeps one of the decades old rivals from running to China and makes them a potential business partner. It's weird none of this or any of the companies that have already agreed to build shops in the USA are mentioned in this video.

  2. So... what about all of the manufacturers already making the move to the USA? Honda and Stellantis, for example, are opening factories in Indiana and Detroit. Apple is also coming to the USA, along with the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which is the largest producer of semi-conductors on Earth. Eli Lilly and Company for pharmaceuticals is coming to the US, and Samsung and LG are leaving Mexico to come to the US. Clearly, there is a notable shift towards making these products in America. The place where China has been getting most of its advantage has been from other countries using their low cost production offerings, which allowed China to get their hands on design concepts and product information from those factories so they could piggyback off others to rapidly create products that could compete at a discounted price. This is a country that blatantly doesn't respect patents, trademarks or copyright that aren't there's. The more factories you take from them, the less they can rip off other people's work, see Deepseek as a great example. As far as Europe moving closer to China, well that's not going to make China any stronger. They have nothing to really offer, they're already buying up those same products from China, have virtually no military and all of their economies are also in the toilet. The UK couldn't afford to let their pensioners heat their homes during the winter, yet somehow conjured 2.6 billion dollars for a war AND all of the support they'd previously given was a loan that needed to be paid back. So there's little concern here, is my main point. Also, remember that this "trade war" while definitely not being non-existent, is less a way to defeat China and more a means of trying to get them to sit at the table and talk with the US and Russia. There's a big move here to get all three of the major super powers to agree not to attack each other, reduce their defense spending by about 8% and help revitalize all three of their failing economies.

  3.  @davidwong5197  You mean the patent dispute between Verizon and Huawei? Because that's all I can find anywhere between these two is that they're working on or have reached a settlement concerning legal issues between them. As for US Steel, in addition to labor costs and environmental regulations (which are probably fixing to get a bit more lax with this administration), tariffs play a role in why US Steel ends up being more expensive, but also the fact that they're a seal of quality assurance over a lot of their competitors.

  4.  @davidwong5197  All I could find was a lawsuit involving patents with Huawei going after Verizon which was settled out of court after Verizon fired back with its own patents. If there's something else, please provide me some direction or a link, because I couldn't find any of it. This all happened in 2021 and involved Huawei demanding a 1Billion license, which is how I found anything about it. It was settled with no further pursuit or details.

  5. I don't remember hearing that anybody one yet. I just heard a very one-sided perspective for the whole video and a lot of sources referenced in it have been anti-Trump administration from the start, so who knows what's going on. I know that several companies like Honda, Eli Lilly and Company, Samsung and Apple are all moving to the US to make products there. Also, while China may be producing Semi-Conductors, the largest semi-conductor manufacturer TSMC has openly agreed to start making shops in the US in order to get the chip industry rolling.
