Looks like they are culling so they can bring in more Indians through the H1B program. Good bye American employees, have a nice life.

ChumpGPT commented on China is the manufacturing superpower cepr.org/voxeu/columns/ch... · Posted by u/luu
One thing people are not aware of and am curious of how big it really is: China manufacturing laundry. Essentially, goods are manufactured in China, then laundered to a third-party country and then exported to the US/EU. This come in two flavors, legal laundry where the local manufacturer satisfies the conditions; and illegal one where bribes are paid to pass goods.

I come from a country that does this. Massive deficit with China vs. an equivalent surplus with the EU. Weak manufacturing base that essentially import Chinese, does some packaging and then export it back.
Both Canada and Mexico are guilty of this. For years they would import products and do some light assembly and label it as Made in Canada or Mexico. Since Canada gives China Most Favored Nation status, importers can avoid duties and export into the USA since there is a Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA). It took a while for US Customs to crack down on this but it finally did and they now pay very close attention to where the origin of the item was. Unfortunately it went on long enough to destroy many American industries. Canada and Mexico made 100's of billions of these schemes at the USA's expense.

On a tangent....I remember the only place you could get a coffee in Texas was Waffle House or Denny's. In the early 90's the DFW area didn't even know what an espresso was. Starbucks finally came around 1995 and it was such a joy. Now there are some amazing cafes serving amazing coffee, especially in college towns like Denton.
