The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China wrote last night (August 14): "Secretary Rubio: One of our problems with China is that we let them take over companies that were once ours. Therefore, the reason we buy so many goods from China is that we used to produce these goods ourselves, but we let China take them away, and we handed them over to China. Now we have to reverse this situation."
[Witty] Comment a bit: American politicians enjoy the convenience brought by Chinese cheap goods, yet they make such statements here, which is truly hypocritical. Rubio's words are just old rhetoric, and many American politicians have made similar arguments before. However, the reality is that they can't really bring industries back. In the United States, where labor and manufacturing costs are high, workers would not be willing to work 8-10 hours a day on the production line for about $30 a day. The U.S., which has already deindustrialized, can no longer industrialize again. Trump's pressure on manufacturing to return is nothing more than a farce that seriously violates economic laws.
