WHY MADE IN USA MATTER?

Good pay Manufacturing job is the blood of individual, family, community and region to keep all sustainable Healthy from the safety of the society, generosity of mutual respect , emerge to be called as American People with care for freedom , human rights across the global , especially since Second World War , the lighthouse of American freedom   keep the hope for rest of people at earth , the behind is the large portion of middle class American family!

 

The passed 30 years, American manufacturing keep losing these precious blood to asian country , especially once the old fishing man pick the frozen snake after the massacre in 1989 , continue to give china CCP rule a unprecedented  mercy and open policy , after several president miscalculation of the consequence of the manufacturing shift to china year by year, trumpeted  by so called globalization of the theory of math ,  ignore all the other very important factor as human right by NGO, labour fairness by union, the cry of the middle class.  Until the fully wake up by the covid epidemic . Realized it seems too late to change the tides . Even a simple PPE need to count on china supplier !

 

The 2016 election reflect the consequence of such economic shift , middle class keep losing so much without hearing or making change to their voice. They become desperate to seek change for any voice promised or they can be easily manipulated by so,  such historic events happened at all the communists Soviet , china, Vietnam , also Nazi German .  History is repeating even stable American democracy could become fragile as Jan 6th insurrection to the Congress by creating any false claim and reject democracy election result . As professor at UC Berkeley and labour secretary Robert Reich said in 1997 ,  if the middle class keep eroding , whom will be the next target ?  In 20 years we have all truth to approve on his righteousness!

 

This is not a wake up call,  the urgency is yesterday !  Rebuild up middle class by good pay manufacturing job become such urgency and important to the survival of our democracy and liberty,  if American middle class keep declining , more chunk of the people will seek extreme method to change the country , the time of the totalitarian will happen by someone manipulate  the situation , with propaganda and whitewash , the country could face much more serious issue than the Jan 6th insurrection and more polarized political , society , race and community,  the country could be much more divided than today.  Then there is no more peace and stability to anyone,  extreme behaviors will wandering around , the richer and minority could be targeted seriously by the next , our democratic system could be fall out .

 

The recent 10 years , especially the ambitious china 2025 industry plan , the growth at manufacturing at china made rapid progress , start to dominate many category of industry , not just medical . USA and whole west allies start to loss the edge by 30 years unconscious good will or naïve to see the current situation.  The good will of the blood sending hatch for liberty and democracy china turn to raise  a very bully monster as today to use these advantage of manufacturing power to challenge not only international political and economic system  but also much more strong totalitarian rules domestically.

It start to shake the international security system for the rest of  the nation.  

 

We as industrial player really need to urge to put action to change the tide, reversal the supply chain to be back home ,  to seek the best cost  effective solution with automation and dynamic supply system to gradually or rapidly once ready to shift the production back to the American workers , to support distress town and city to rebuild up their sustainable economic by good pay manufacturing job as the backbone of the society .  To use the new tech knowledge to offset the high wage , to find the best supply chain and cost effective location to get the lowest cost structure  , at certain way, we can beat imports Price  to combined with design, products development , automation and swift supply chain.

Surely there is always some products at any industry could have these elements ,  we can bring these product back to the home to produce as first thing first . We can convince brand and retail they can buy usa made products at similar as imports price .

 

But without brand and retail to support made in usa agenda , there is no chance to make it in real and substantial way , it require all the big brand and retail shall not be only view themselves as one inches from their cost nose,  to achieve 25% of total purchase for made in usa  within 10 years could be very feasible if the brand and retail has their sense of urgency , to invest 1-5% of the annual profit to open own factory or to invest with industries as partner , together it could make snowball way of the change within 10 years . Finally the balance of the American worker , society and brand , retail could be back at harmony status again , our democracy and constitution will be shining more ,  such mutual efforts worth for all as Paying a small fraction of tax for democracy to win long term sustainability and national security of our nation . By so, every of us at industry should put action now !
