In the 1980s, MIT flagged that the US was losing the productivity/quality race to Japan and South Korea.

Despite a great deal of national handwringing on this point, no systematic improvement was made.

Yet since, Tesla taught China how to build EVs, and Apple invested more in Chinese manufacturing that the fucking US Marshall plan, which has no made local manufacturing impossible.
