Farmers keep getting fucked over and I love it. They will keep voting Trump there is no saving them.

Yep, all of the capitalist countries have focused on what’s the cheapest source of XYZ without caring about the implications of outsourcing the most critical resources/components of their economy. They’ve finally been waking up, but it took major disruptions to do so. China’s meanwhile built up a dominant position in most commodities, even oil and gas where they are a net importer they have tons of global equity stakes - the 2 largest oil and gas companies by revenue are Sinopec and CNPC. People have always viewed semiconductors as an area where China is behind, but in reality most chips/circuits outside of phones/computers are done with larger nodes, and China has built up tons of capacity in those older model commodity type chips/circuits to put everyone else out of business. Their dominance in solar, lithium, batteries, magnets, and basic circuitry means you can’t build pretty much any electronics without Chinese components.
