This chart tells a story: by 2030, China is projected to control 45% of global manufacturing value-added, while the US share shrinks to just 12%. 🇨🇳 How did China get here? China invested aggressively in infrastructure, industrial policy, supply chains, and innovation, aiming not just to compete—but to dominate. 🇺🇸 What did the US miss? Decades of offshoring, underinvestment in infrastructure, and a lack of long-term industrial strategy left the US vulnerable. What must change? • Reinvest in advanced manufacturing. • Strengthen supply chains. • Prioritize R&D in automation. • Align public and private sectors with a clear industrial policy. The cost of inaction? A diminished economy, reliance on foreign powers, and weakened national security. The US still leads in entrepreneurship. But without decisive action, this gap will only grow. ❓ What do you think it will take for the US to reclaim its edge? #manufacturing #MakeAmericaMakeAgain #industrialpolicy
The US has a strong focus on next quarters EPS. China has a 100 year plan they update every 5 years. It's not that "they're beating us". It's that we left the game, about 40 years ago, but are pretending we didn't.
Great post, Juan. A pie chart really helps to visualize this. Unfortunately, we’re far from the worst off—many countries are seeing their manufacturing decimated by China’s deliberate overcapacity. This is a clear example of market cornering in action.
A big piece of the puzzle is reshoring critical tech manufacturing, like semiconductors. Without that, even strong industrial policy might fall short
Exactly what every Congressman in America needs to see. I think Donald Trump already understands this and what is needed. But he has only four years. We need 20 years of consistent manufacturing policy to right the ship.
Reinvestment in R&D and advanced manufacturing is crucial, but I think fostering stronger public-private partnerships could be a game-changer Juan L. Aparicio Ojea
