When China takes over Taiwan (Notice, I didn't say "if", it's practically guaranteed at this point since the world has seen how weak our government is), how are we going to get our semiconductor chips? What about medicines that are produced over there? We've found ourselves in an extremely dangerous situation. I'm not for regulation, however, there should have been a regulation that required at least our basic necessities to be 100% made in the USA, especially medicine.
The collapse of the Soviet Union and China reformation seduced the world, especially the US, into believing that world peace was achieved. Absent conflict, then it is money. So making money went to China.
China produces most of our medications. We have shipped our industry all over the world . We are no longer self sufficient. We have to depend on other countries for basic needs and many are essential . We saw how the automobile industry stopped because of chips we did not have. Our leaders are imbeciles and so are the CEO's that ran to other countries for cheap labor. They have not taken into consideration of the American people. Not at all. We are at the hands of others and other countries.
Bad times ahead if we have a world war. It is not if , but when.

No. It seduced Clinton and his gaggle of fools. Seducing Clintoon isn't especially difficult, as we've seen. The only recent presidents who've had Clue One about national security and world threats were Ronald Wilson Reagan and Donald J. Trump.
Before them we have to go back to the fifties and sixties, to Jack, Dwight, and Harry.
Commies do not change their spots. Anyone who knows anything knows that.

I was active duty when the Berlin Wall fell and then came collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Everyone in the squadron breakroom was either shocked or semi-shocked when the news came on about Gorby turned the Soviet Union over to Yeltsin. Someone said something about the end of communism and people agreed. Except me. I opined that Marxism will always have its hardcore believers even to the next generation, which is now. There will always be a need for defense alliances so for those who thinks NATO is 'dated' or has 'outlived' its usefulness, they are wrong. As long as there are contestant ideologies, conflicts are inevitable.
I always think the US should have more manufacturing.
However, manufacturing has relatively low profit margins, and that’s why the US wants to rely on finance and IT industries, which are much more profitable. After all, manufacturing is lower in the food chain.
If the US wants to exploit the world, it’s not a good idea to build lots of factories.

You are missing the part about being self sufficient... In case of war or just due to differences between countries for whatever reason. We need to be able to produce and distribute our own food, medicines and a host of other necessities.

The US is run by businessmen behind the curtain. The capitalists manipulate policies and they care about profits.
It does not have a planned economy like China or the former soviet union.
