Except the markets they supply will also be in China as economy there is already bigger and consumption will very soon be also bigger...

China has aging population (median 41 years age) and things get further complicated by one child policy, which are not reversing even with relaxation of it. Their attempts to pivot to consumption economy did not yield much of a result. Once their shawdow financing faces a day of reckoning, we have to wait an see what their real consumption capacity is.

That is surprisingly old for China. I looked up a random source on the internet that was close to that. Doesn't really change your point though.

This article says Chinese median age in 2019 is 37.3 and us is 36.5. That's interesting that we are the same. China has the other problem of producing too many men and not enough women, leading to increasing problems of pressure. That problem of not enough women to match the men seems like it will be a worse problem.

The economy is not bigger in China yet. Also, the competition in China will be more fierce for US companies than in domestic markets, meaning they will have less market share.
