The Chinese Government was smart by establishing SEZs (special economic zones)
a generation ago to counter China's then weaknesses and capitalise on its strengths and these manufacturing
hubs expanded beyond their geographic limits via an economy of scale without the SEZ umberella and then shifted
gear 2012-2014 via Xis ingenious "Made in China 2025' program which we have now.
This is Govenment planning from the ground up similar to a Mega Corporation.
Of course the USA opposes such an industrial strategy because its an ill
ideological fit for Uncle Sam who regards this scale of Government planning as
"diabolical" and un-American.& Communist (China says its Socialism with Chinese Charisterics)
Perhaps as time goes by when Trump Tariffs are proven to be a "red herring"
that both we and the USA will emulate China or industrially perish...eh?
If we cast aside ideological bigotry and judge by results (scientific method)
then we can clearly see that China is winning the industrial/trade stakes
in that it now commands over one third of global manufacturing and trade
while other industrial manifacturing giants such as the USA, Germany &
Japan are loosing global share.
The only recourse that anti-China bigots have is to resort to fortunetelling
ie: forecasting China's demise!
