You can’t rebuild an economy with tariffs when the factory’s gone, the workers are broke, and Wall Street owns the land.
China knows this. That’s why it’s winning.
Trump’s tariffs won’t rebuild the U.S.
It’s imperial decline wrapped in red, white, and blue.
1/6 Protectionism Without Production
Tariffs signal the end of a unipolar economic model that enriched a domestic rentier elite while hollowing out productive capacity.
After decades of outsourcing and gutting public infrastructure, the U.S. is now trying to patch up a decaying economy with trade barriers.
It’s not reindustrialization—it’s damage control.
You don’t regrow a burned down forest by fencing off the ashes.
Meanwhile, China played the long game: investing in productive forces, building industrial ecosystems, and shielding its economy from Western financial capture—ensuring that sovereignty over industry remains a matter of state strategy not market whim.
While America played empire, China played industry.
Now one prints sanctions, the other prints steel.
