The United States and China are locked in a standoff without a viewing resolution. US wants to reshore manufacturing, and China wants to sell manufactured products in the American Market. It will take a creative solution to overcome this impasse, but it is possible.
President Trump previews himself what a winning formula looks like. During his 2024 campaigns, he always promised to draw factories in the United States countries. To a rally in Michigan, He said: “China should build plants here and rent our workers. If I return to the White House, the way they sell their product to America. They have to build it in America.”
When China began receiving the market economy in the 1970s, its leaders made similar needs to American companies. To get access to China’s market, American companies should make China, hire Chinese workers and teach Chinese underlying technologies. But times have changed. China is no longer American student. Arrive at car and battery production, Chinese companies are years ahead of their American competition. It’s time for us to learn from them.
Gotion Inc., an advanced Chinese battery manufacturer, currently establishing two plants in the United States. Michigan and Illinois plants together use 5,000 American workers and also American engineers in the latest battery technology in the litium. CATL, another Chinese battery company, seeks to build factories in cooperation with American automakers. Their proposed Michigan factory, a concerted effort with Ford, use 2,500 Americans.
These companies seek to build here because they want to access the US market. By building the US, they could avoid the tars and more susceptible to their batteries to American companies. In return, the US has taken good jobs, the best batteries in the world and a more advanced sector to make.
But instead of receiving it as a victory, the Republicans who were violent attacked by two former and Pier Because they are Chinese. For them, every company from China is a threat to National Security security, even if there is no specific evidence against them. According to the Hawks, Chinese owned means the company is part of a hiding place operated by the Chinese government. Evidence of the contrary ignored.
In the case of Gosion, they were a global company whose biggest shareholder was Volkswagen; US operation is run by American executives; And the US plants will tell America workers. In case of CATL, it does not own US plant helps build, but in turn can be technology licensing to Ford, which owns plant. But when China arrives, the bad facts thrown into the window because political points should have politicians.
China bashing has become widespread that Trump must explain his position. In a recent Cabinet meeting, Trump said he accepted Chinese investment in the United States, and that he did not understand why some people had the impression that he was not. Of course, people have that impression because his undergats work in overtime to prevent Chinese companies from investing here. It’s not just Trump they haven’t hit, but he also contradicts his own position by signing an executive order that makes it difficult for US and China to invest each other.
If the current trajechyory is maintained, there is no further arrival or catls announcing American investment. Trump has to explain that Trade War Watch includes Chinese manufacturers stationary. If he is not, his stick can continue to sabotage what can be open to prevent Chinese tensions.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessens wisely called for a rebranking in China’s economy. That will require adoption of a reasonable approach, not a paranoia-based. It’s time to move this standoff to a victory.
