Just think Trade Imbalance. Who's at the MERCY of whom?. First trinkets, then consumer goods, then food. We build up Military, they Manufacturing. You create true wealth by taking raw material and producing goods for export.
When this is all over I hope this country realizes we should NOT be farming out everything. Making engine parts, sheet metal, toys and cloths is one thing... But when you let a rival country produce your food, drugs & technology you have already lost. If nothing else, this pandemic is making that all too painfully clear...
