I think this is what you'd need to go into business making something physical, manufacturing a tool, part, or vehicle. You'd need to know all of it because you really can't count on someone else when the entire thing is extensive risk until such time as the politicians put trade tariffs on China. Until then, the above is an investment in a future that won't mean much without a way to stop them dumping goods below cost, something they've been doing for nearly 20 years now. We are at war with China, and they are winning. Every time an American buys a Chinese product instead of the more expensive, legally produced, American one, we lose a battle in this war. As long as politicians take bribes to keep that "free trade" going with China, we're betrayed to our own bad end. There is no full employment in America so long as Chinese people have our jobs.
