This led to structural flaws in globalization, a decline in US manufacturing, and unsustainable trade deficits as US consumers absorbed global production surpluses. The article argues for a process of reindustrialization in the US and reciprocity from partners to achieve trade balance and regain productive power.

• US market access benefited competitors like China and allies like Germany, Japan, and South Korea.
• China’s growth and subsidized production, along with intellectual property theft, have created a significant challenge for US firms.
• US companies moving production overseas, like Apple to China, resulted in job exports and the development of rival technologies.
• Allies pursued aggressive export policies, negatively impacting the US balance of payments.
• The US system functioned as a consumer of global production surpluses, accepting unsustainable trade deficits.
• China’s economic rise has been rapid, transforming it from a developing nation to a superpower that threatens US dominance.
• Chinese companies like BYD are using trade agreements, such as those with Mexico, to circumvent restrictions and sell directly to the US.
• A call for significant investment in reindustrialization to reduce dependence on Chinese goods and revitalize national production.
• The need for reciprocity from partners like Germany and Japan to adapt their models and contribute to trade equilibrium.
• The US must cease being the world’s market of last resort and re-establish itself as a producing power.
