You fail to address the elephant, so why chase the mice?

I thought the article was an interesting perspective because China does own manufacturing today. This is suggesting that next-gen manufacturing will present new challenges and benefits that will make it more difficult for anyone, in this case China, to own it in the future. In particular, this creates opportunities in engineering and automation, which from the comments, seem to be of particular relevance for this audience.

If you can't elevate your debate while acknowledging the fictional nature of China financial information this isn't much of a conversation.

Thanks for your perspective though.
