The risk is that China becomes a pariah to the West, which much of their economic system depends on.
Mexico is optimally aligned, with a shared historical/cultural ethos, and desire for NA stability, too.
Also, it solves a problem; one cannot wage war without pants.
Well, unless you are General Buck Naked...
But my point is, manufacturing is returning to the West, which also has low cost production zones. And imagine, a revitalized Mexico, with the cartels broken, and a very strong middle class.
And I said made in, not assembled in.
I was merely providing additional data, my pants were made on China, now the label says Mexico! Same style/brand.
Where China has an oversized impact is our trade deficit and consumer goods which makes them seem vastly more important than they are. However, that’s also the most flexible with south east asia replacing Chinese manufacturing as Chinese workers become more expensive.
Our trade deficit with China isn’t as bad as it seems because we export goods to countries China then imports from. Hong Kong for example is a 25.8B trade surplus and really should be included in Chinese trade numbers.
