I've learned to mistrust or even ignore the advice of these analysts. In the past they said "we need to make everything in China because it's cheaper." Now that we've discovered the drawbacks (as stated in the article) they're claiming "we can't make it here anymore because we've lost the skills to do so and we therefore must keep importing from China despite the drawbacks."

These analysts are the reason the West is losing the economic war being waged upon us. They're always cozying up to China and it's making me suspicious of them.

How can we wage war when 80% of the stuff in our weaponry is made in a foreign country which could turn hostile at a moment's notice?
