    This trajectory better stop/change soon if we want to maintain western automotive manufacturing.

    First trinkets, then tools and electronics, now the bigger things. Seeing Chinese manufacturers show up in heavy equipment as well. These are good paying jobs I don’t want to give away.

      Oh, too late. ZPMC already dominates US ports. The nation will paralyze if you try to force them out, no joke.

          Hard to build collective will when US culture is rooted in everyone trying to make a buck ripping off the next guy.

            That’s not the problem, the problem is that many people don’t think this is even a problem, or believe it’s futile to try to correct the course.

            I bought a Tesla because I knew it was made in the US. That was the number one reason for me. How you spend your money matters.
