That's funny considering china lost 20 million factory jobs in 2008 crisis, yet they continued throttling ahead. And the US buys a mere 20% of China's exports each year and most of it kitchenware, cotton thingies and cheapo electronics. Pathetic, really.

No you will buy lower quality. Like with most things you get what you pay for when you buy from China. China is just as capable of making high quality stuff as the USA you just cant afford it...
So how do you propose bringing manufacturing back to aAmerica were wages per hour are hundreds of times higher, the infrastructure does not exist and the people are not trained in manufacturing..
You are beating a dead horse there..

Since you can never compete with German, Japanese and now Korean engineering, I highly doubt it.

And if China pops (which it won't), their government will simply mobilize hundreds of millions back to their rice paddies. Just like that. And if the world recovers, they'll remobilize again. Back to the factories. Just like that. Whatcha Americans gonna do, liposuck the fat off each other?
And if China floats her currency, what do you think those yen carry trade whores are gonna do? And if that happens, guess who'll have an even bigger purchasing power?
And it's obvious I'm smarter than you. Go sue your dumbass Amerikan university or something.
