Have I attacked western efforts to reshore manufacturing?
Or is that assertion just another bullshit coated and blatantly dishonest out of context misrepresentation of what I have said seeking to discredit me, the messenger, because you cannot credibly refute what I have actually and in truth said?
You literally have nothing to say except how dominant China is in manufacturing.

That, again, is misrepresentation on your part posturing as what? It is meaningless absurd and totally obstructive - it seeks to shut down the conversation/narrative before it can be progressed anywhere useful.
It is very difficult to progress the narrative as long as most respondents are incapable of even acknowledging that China has won the trade war- meaning China now dominates global commodity markets and the supply chains of manufactured goods...including strategically important ones like rare earths, PVs, EVs and robotics.
I am simply waiting for respondents to acknowledge this very basic and increasingly self evident starting point of the topic- there are many interesting subsequent logical developments and consequences which I have many times already raised but which are somewhat moot as long as the community is in general denial of the fundamentals.

I don't know why you're so agitated all the time.
Most people here would agree that US economic hegemony was built primarily through military power and the petrodollar. I'd venture to guess that most of us, including myself, agree that China is dominating in materials and manufacturing production. We agree that the West is sclerotic and weighed down by cronyism, among other ills.
You just seem mad that not everyone is worshipping at the feet of China or denouncing the US as the great satan.

Again you tragically misread and misrepresent what I am saying.
Yes, it is true, I do get agitated when most respondents effectively deny, as you put it -
' that US economic hegemony was built primarily through military power and the petrodollar. I'd venture to guess that most of us, including myself, agree that China is dominating in materials and manufacturing production. We agree that the West is sclerotic and weighed down by cronyism, among other ills.'
by denying that China is now dominant in commodities and manufacturing and thus has 'won the trade war'.
And by asserting that free markets are all that determines wealth of nations....utter naive Libertarian poppycock yet many times asserted in response to these issues on this platform.
I agree that the content of your above statement is very difficult to deny and is the core content of what I have been proposing for several months on here. Yet most respondents have been desperate to deny it and avoid where that narrative leads to. This can be evidenced by reading through the many times I have raised and the responses that has brought.
I am not however 'mad that not everyone is worshipping at the feet of China or denouncing the US as the great satan.' and have never stated anything even remotely capable of being misinterpreted in such a sinister an misleading manner.
You are being dishonest in making that assertion and you cannot back it with any credible evidence.
In asserting such falsehoods you again default to blatantly misrepresenting the character and literal content of what I have written to avoid the actual content of what I have written. Dishonest coward.
You literally ignore what I have written many times and demonstrate a woeful dishonesty by asserting that is characteristic of what I have said.
This approach you take is not new- many before you have tried it- it is just another dishonest attempt to avoid any serious consideration and discussion of the facts and issues I Have raised.
You are seemingly determined to obstruct any serious sequential logical and constructive consideration and development of this narrative...just as a CCP Bot might be expected to.
