Maybe the USA should heavily invest in the industry of the USA, just like China does, in order to keep up? No, then USian companies would have oversight & have to meet expectations, and we all know that they wouldn’t want that.

Also labor price is unmatched. Nobody would work for the wage they give to children in China, so you can't really go that much cheaper while not sacrificing safety.

Not saying Chinese cars are that well made.

China has compulsory education for children just like America. There's no child labor in China.

They pay adult workers less in China, but these yuan has 7x buying power than the dollar in China

That's what Chinese propagandists want you to think, there are way more people living in (borderline) poverty (per capita) than in the US.

Social media is being fed with a slice of mainland China, but anything beyond that is people struggling to keep ends meet.
