China decoupling

Yes and yes.

Yes.

Except for Kung Pao Chicken.

Kung Pao Chicken is goddamned delicious and I don’t want to live in a world without it.

Unless they are putting shark fin, bat, snake, cat, dog, tiger dick or Rat into your Kung Pao, you're good.

First, we've hopefully learned being highly dependent on China comes with a huge cost. Second, we are going to have to incent people to make American products and Buy American products to find our way out of this. The end result of that strategy has problems, too. China's economy will lose its biggest benefactor and they are going to struggle. The collapse of their economy would be problematic as it would likely drive China to do some things we'd prefer they not do.

That's not Chinese food. We're good.

Oh - I bet you're going to tell me Panda Express Sweet Fire isn't Chinese either....

Trump has a secret meeting with Mexico, agrees to the use of predator drones to wipe the country clean of cartels and incentivize corporations to shift away completely from China to Mexico.

You solve a couple of major problems with one meeting. Give Mexico jobs and import from the same continent.

Not sure how much bat soup Mexico is eating right now?

You joke, but much of what the re-written NAFTA agreement was forcing stuff out of China and back to North America...it’s why Mexico was on board from the beginning. That’s what pissed the Canadians off so much...they wanted to be the gateway between China and North America.

Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, etc. Should diversify the supply chain anyway beyond the realpolitik consideration. A diverse supply chain is more resilient.

Considering realpolitik, we should have never let China in the WTO in the first place. Kick the fuckers out.

Messico, Guatemala, Honduras all the way to Chile and Argentina.

Strengthen the supply chain and border security at the same time.

China has already lost much of its competitive edge to countries like Vietnam and Chile

Retirement age friends are getting/got places in Chile, Argentina and even Nicaragua.

The Americas! Fuck Yeah!
