I really hate this globalization manufacturing trend.
It's funny that you mentioned that, it's indeed becoming an oxymoron. Everything is made in China now and other Asian countries. Sheesh, I wonder where this will end up
Does it occur to you that history shows that civilisations have cycles. If you study ancient history, civilisations often were dominant for several hundred years, perhaps because of trade or technology. Then, when those factors turned, the civilisation declined. No civilisation has remained dominant forever.
Either you can bury your head in the sand, or you can make an educated prediction. With the technological shift going from US/West to the Asian giants, the technological dominance is gradually shifting like sand in an hour glass. In about 100-200 years, America will be a spent force, and reduced to third world level poverty.
Moreover, there is only one reason for all this happening. Why do corporations shift manufacturing overseas, rather than retain in locally to give jobs to their communities? Greed. Money. Selfishness. Those things will never change, and so the shift of technology to the Asian countries cannot be stopped.
Let's give it 3-4 generations, and by then America will be like an Argentina. Remember, at the turn of the last century, Argentina was among the richest nations on earth. Just as companies can rise and fall, the same can happen to nations. It just takes longer because of the scale involved, but the shifts can and do, and will happen.
