The Chi-coms own Volvo?
When will Western nations wake up to the fact that is the policy of Chinese Communist Party to use unfair trade practices to put Western manufacturers out of business.?
The strategy of the Chinese Communist Party is to use unfair trade practices to decimate the industrial and manufacturing sectors that are criticial to the defense sector of Western nations.
The Chinese Communist Party knows that it was America's ability to scale up its industrial and manufacturing sectors that allowed it to win WWI and WWII. By decimating the Western nations' defense sectors, it will render those nations unable to militarily intervene or resist Chi-com military and territorial aggression.
Well, it isn't just the Chinese.
We have plenty of self-imposed restrictions that kill industry, right here in the good ol' USA. American Made restrictions, edicts, regulations, all crafted with Pride right there in Washington, D.C. and environs.
The Chinese have a lock on most of the rare earths production in the world.
Most of our semiconductors come from Taiwan, the first thing the Chinese will go for.
We'd best better find some lower tech solutions to high tech problems, because when the stockpiles run out in a war, saying we'd be at a disadvantage is an understatement.
In the meantime the Arsenal of Democracy is busy decommissioning ships that were taken to production before proof of concept.
In the meantime, another millions of acres area has been artificially restricted from exploration for and development of our own natural resources, to the detriment of the folks who live there. It's almost as if those are being set aside for someone else to develop.
