    The US is still far ahead of the rest of the West. Whether they're ahead of China is immaterial to US economic interests because the West is decoupling from China.

        I remember a few years ago there was an ammo shortage stateside because it turns out that all of the primers used in civillian ammo in the US come from China.

        We are never decoupling lol

          this is a great explanation of why decoupling is impossible under the financial capitalist system in the west https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2021/08/the-value-of-nothing-capital-versus-growth/
