@maneshipocrates You can steal all the plans and IPO you want. But do you have the capability to do something about it? Stealing, for example, the complete blueprint of a commercial jet engine, does not mean you are able to build one that can be used. It might just blow up in your face. Copying it also needs skills, lots of skills.

GM sells the most Buicks on China. But you cannot find any Chinese evs in US. You can buy Apple products in China. China is the largest market for iPhone outside US. But you cannot find any Chinese smartphones in US.

Do Americans like eating soybeans? Asians love them. Part of our diet.

@JL-tm3rc Take for example, the shipbuilding industry. US share in the global shipbuilding industry is less than 1%. To rectify the situation, their lawmakers are now proposing to levy tax on all Chinese built ships calling at US ports . They also insist that certain percentage of imports coming from China must be carried by US made ships. The problem is they have lost their capability of building commercial vessels like LNG carriers, container ships or oil tankers. They no longer have the skill manpower to make them. Most ships built there are for the Navy. No matter how much tax they impose on Chinese ships, it's not going to transform them into a ship building giant like China or SKorea and Japan.

@Harley_Faye47 Here in Asean, Chinese goods including their evs dominate our markets. American goods? Of course they are some. But you really have to look for them. I xantvremember when I last bought anything made in USA. Even my last Levi's jeans was sewn in Vietnam. Understandable. If its sewn in US, I wouldn't be able to afford one. And I love Levi's.
