Since the Trump era, the United States has been actively promoting the return of manufacturing, and the U.S. government has tried to promote the movement of Americans to buy American-made products. However, the reality is very cruel, and it can be seen from the performance of American businesses that the United States is actually inseparable from China, and the U.S. government artificially creates obstacles to try to decouple from China, and it is the United States itself that suffers in the end. A few days ago, the U.S. media disclosed the news, claiming that a retailer in the United States had deceived and advertised a mattress made in China as a product made in the United States, and now the merchant has to accept a heavy fine, with a fine of up to 3.17 million US dollars, because the merchant belongs to the world's top 500, which immediately attracted the attention of the outside world.
Judging from the penalties encountered by American merchants for fraud, in fact, just like mattresses and other goods, made in the United States does not have any advantages, so American merchants will use false origins to sell products. In fact, the quality of most of the goods made in China has been above the United States, and there are lower prices than the United States, while the United States wants to violate the laws of the market and actively promote the uncompetitive American manufacturing, which will eventually lead the merchants astray, so there is a situation of counterfeiting the United States, so the United States has fallen into a situation of self-inflicted humiliation.
Today's United States no longer has a traditional manufacturing industry to survive in the environment, because the United States labor costs have surged, and the supporting supply chain industry has been incomplete, and the United States only has an advantage in a few high-end manufacturing industries because of monopoly. Products such as mattresses, which are produced in the United States, cannot compete with Chinese products, so American merchants will counterfeit them in an attempt to make a profit. When the United States promoted the establishment of a financial country, it gave up most of the manufacturing industry, and now the United States wants to swim against the current, which is obviously against the law of market economic development. Before World War II, the United States was already a manufacturing power, in fact, it lasted until the 80s of the last century, the United States still has many products with strong competitiveness, with the development of science and technology, the United States has gradually abandoned manufacturing.
When the United States led globalization, Japan was one of the first beneficiaries, Japan had an economic take-off in the 60s of the last century, but after Japan's economic development, the United States carried out a harvest for Japan, that is, the signing of the famous "Plaza Accord", the United States did not deprive Japan of manufacturing, but used the hegemony of the dollar to beat Japan again, so that Japan is still in an economic recession. For the rise of China, the United States is also trying to snatch dividends through dollar hegemony, but China is not Japan, and in the face of failure, the United States began to try to promote the return of manufacturing, thereby weakening the foundation of China's development.
Today, there are many Chinese goods in the U.S. market, and although there are also imports from Mexico and Vietnam, they are also inseparable from China, because many of the goods are in Mexico and Vietnam for the final processing. When the United States encircled and contained China, it imposed tariffs on many Chinese products, so imports from Mexico and Vietnam have certain advantages, but they are still inseparable from China's supply chains. The fact that American companies are counterfeiting mattresses has highlighted the reality of the lack of competitiveness of American manufacturing, while the United States is still very stubborn and obviously has to pay a price.
