  3. The Great 21st Century Global Supply Chain War China is currently offshoring some of its own production, because China is becoming expensive. (Wuhan rent ~$600/mo; Omaha Nebraska rent ~$1000/mo). I think that the ultimate contest may be between two global supply trees. (Or three, if Germany / the EU heads one). Proxy Wars will involve building spheres of economic and cultural-political influence.
