That’s a small problem for them. Their biggest is their demographic is aging and they have a massive lack of replacement.

Yeah that’s fair, but idk if that’ll cause a collapse in just 10 years

They are the largest manufacturer in the world in regard to exports and the largest food and energy importer in the world. Lack of a workforce means you can’t produce and companies look for other countries.

The amount they import wouldn’t be able to be sustained due to the fallout of businesses leaving such as Apple, which it is actively trying to do.

It’s not very easy to switch countries just like that. You’d basically need to find another manufacturing partner, build a similar factory, and train tons of workers. If companies want to do that, they should start the initial phases of that rn. I don’t see us moving away from China until companies are incentivized to produce elsewhere or actively discouraged from doing so. I think they’ll wait until there’s an actual problem

I think that might be why they’re focusing on domestic energy and technology production (they also claim they need to do this for national security reasons). They want to phase out Windows and Intel processors from government computers

It’s not easy. No one said it was, but it’s still happening regardless. Companies actively doing it now are trying to get ahead of the curve. Apple for instance will most likely see a reduction because there is no place like China that can produce the amount of iPhones they need, but it’s inevitable so they’re doing more regionalization tactics with Vietnam and others. I believe they’ve also been looking at Turkey as well

India as well, which makes sense since they already had factories there

That’s a horseshoe argument that no one buys though. The only reason you would ever want to build energy over buying it would simply be cost.

Makes sense for companies to get ahead of the curve but usually it feels like they’ll put things off until something bad happens

Most people highlight the smaller problems like the IP theft, consumer products, and their housing market…but it seems like the problems were always the same ones that some European countries are facing. It turns out aging demographics and replacement rates really are the only things that matter.
