    I did google it and found not a single source, reputable or not, for that piece of what appears to be completely fabricated information. ZH may well have "reported" it, but if you stop for even a second to think about it, it's clearly absurd and would need a hell of alot of support to be taken seriously. And it's not like it would be hard to find the data, we have all kinds of manufacturing reports that come out monthly, quarterly, and annually. But so far coming up crickets on any actual data to support this, without which it can pretty clearly be dismissed as false.

    So please, if you can't find any support for it beyond the fact that ZH (which pulls this kind of shit all the time) said so, then do everyone including yourself a favor and stop repeating something that is clearly false and doesn't do your reputation for intellectual honesty any favors. Thanks.

    China will soon be the most powerful nation in the world. The US is already for some time in a decline.

    Yeah because it just replaced China being the cheap supplier with other countries who can provide cheaper labour than China but the goal is to bring the manufacturing jobs home to America to use America's labour not other non-China countries. Of course it didn't boost US manufacturing. But it's not Trump's fault. It's those multinational corporations' fault. Corporations like Harley-Davidson??!! who deliberately even went to China to open up shops there despite Trump's offering of tax breaks. Harley Davidson, a corporation whose products actually cater to the population from the manufacturing sector would choose not to bring jobs to the American manufacturing industry. Ironic isn't it??

    Trump can only do so much. It needs co-operation from everybody to work with him for his policies and incentives to work unless you want him to become a dictator like some countries' leaders that point a gun to your head to make you to do what he says or else.
