I don't think it's nearly as hard as has been portrayed here. Obviously you can't decouple yourself overnight or the chaos mentioned here would become a reality but a slow, methodical approach would not result in very much upheaval at all. But we have to start NOW. It starts by cutting deals with China's main adversaries like Vietnam, India and The Philippines and moving your business there. Interestingly, this is already happening in many sectors and without much or even any coercion from the US government. As more and more companies start to see China for what it really is, and realize the risks of tying up a lot of money in the country, they're already taking steps to separate themselves. Furthermore, China is no longer the bargain basement manufacturer of choice. Mexican labor for example, is now cheaper than Chinese labor as well as being just better overall and much more reliable. And I'll mention again what a glorious opportunity Latin America represents to the US and Eastern Europe does to Western Europe. Making some serious investments in those areas would pay huge dividends in a relatively short time and as a bonus, go a LONG way in solving the migrant crisis.

@olefella7561 You may ask. And I will gladly answer - when you come and throw me off. How's that?

@Grundewalt You're quite correct but the world is what the world is. Always been that way, always will be.
