“The greatest threat today to American manufacturing and global exports comes from China. The People’s Republic has far surpassed the United States in industrial output and competes with Washington in a Cold War II spanning many fronts, including trade, technology, military development, and proxy wars in Ukraine and elsewhere. And that’s not to mention a new superpower space race.
