Not just US, the entire world is waking up to CCP's iron grip.

Europe, Korea, Japan, India and Australia are planning to recede from China's dependence on manufacturing.

This is an amazing time to be alive, I encourage people to look into manufacturing disciplines. As Elon put it (agree or disagree with him, but he is right about this) - "Someone's gotta build stuff. If you're not doing it, someone else is." Physical things don't just pop out of thin air. Every single thing except your body and natural substances are manmade. Someone decided how its gonna be built and how it will come into existence.

Completely agree.

I believe that we need to reframe the debate around manufacturing from one about jobs to one about national security.

This mentally frees us to fully invest in manufacturing automation, which will neutralize any labor cost advantages China and other countries may have.

Except that Elon is moving deeper and deeper into China...
