I think China isn't as strong as they would like people to believe. They are unfriendly to foreign manufacturing and because of that Vietnam seems to be opening their doors to foreign manufacturing without all of the intrusive demands China asks for.

I keep wondering if there is a country(s) in the Americas to provide the same service to US manufactures? To me it seems being closer to home is better, and to have countries in our own hemisphere prosper would be a good thing without any of them looking for world dominance.

While Wu Flu could be an entirely random event, the conspiracy voice in my head keeps whispering that something larger is going on here.
The stock market has been at historic highs. Granted, many in the investor class have been warning about a bubble forming and if you look at most of the charts, it is clear we are at a peak. Investors also have a theory about Black Swan Events. Black Swan events are unexpected events that can have a substantial impact. In some definitions, it also says that in hindsight, aren't as serious as they were made out to be at the time.
We have an election coming up next year. We all know Trump is not well liked by the Deep State. We also know that Trump has been killing it on the economic front. As such, the left really has nothing to run on against him. What is the saying from James Carville: "It is the economy, stupid!"
I cannot help but wonder if Wu Flu is a covert attempt to crash the economy on Trumps watch. Who benefits from this chaos? Are the Chinese nefarious and long term thinkers enough to sabotage their own economy to attempt to get Trump to lose? Trump has the trade war with China. Maybe China decides to shut down under the guise of Wu FLu. This winds up damaging the economy and hurts Trump. Trump out of office and in comes Biden or whoever else to continue the globalization of kissing China's azz? We know the Chinese don't care about their own people, so what is a few thousand or even hundred thousand deaths to the Commie party?
Some may say this is just a black swan event. Maybe. But what is the coincidence of the election, economic turmoil, and chinese right now?
Anyways, just some random thoughts to discuss.

The economy was about to tank regardless. Maybe Trump released the wu-flu so he had something to blame it on.

The economy tanking would be a 8% unemployment rate, a 50% correction in the markets and stagnant wages.
You know, the present that Democrats handed Bush.
Instead, February numbers look like a minor stock market correction, 225,000 new jobs for the month, wages increasing another 3%, unemployment at 3.5%...
No "collapse " going on here.

Yes. Democrat and media fear mongering does effect the stock market and that in turn makes gains by the Trump administration look unstable. It could be that this fear mongering is a liberal political ploy.
