Rubio warns that the U.S. needs to reduce its dependence on China, but is it realistic?

The US Embassy and Consulates in China wrote today (May 5th): "Secretary Rubio: This is a wake-up call for us. We really need to become a nation that can produce more products in the United States instead of being so dependent on China."

[Clever Comment]: Of course, the US has the ability to produce, but the problem lies in its relatively backward infrastructure, incomplete industrial chain support, and high labor costs. The cost of producing similar products is more than three times that of China, which has long lost market competitiveness. The most ironic thing is that polls show Americans want manufacturing to return, but many are unwilling to tighten screws themselves. Moreover, even if the US does not depend on China, it will depend on Mexico, Southeast Asia, or India. The US has already lost reliance on itself.
