I'd be very interested to see some data on these trends. Without numbers it's impossible to say.

I'd be fairly confident in some rough generalisations, but the specifics and magnitude I have no idea on:

- for the last few decades the west has moved bulk value add manufacturing to China, and we've grown their economy/influence accordingly

- China is definitely doing more high tech manufacturing, wafers and EV tech - basic manufacturing is definitely moving in part to cheaper countries
