Similarly: If Russia gave up Putin, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus, Armenia, Ukraine and many other old Warsaw Pact countries would not resist the “sphere of influence” of Russia: I’M talking about Moscow becoming some sort of economic hub that is similar to the EU. And this hub would have good relations with the EU and China as well.
I think there has to be incentives for all Western companies to help them move out from China and back to the US and the EU and/or to other neutral countries like South-American countries or India.
I find this as unlikely as the Republic of Ireland or the US agreeing to rule from London...
The claptrap about moving manufacturing back to the EU/US is exactly that. We've benefitted masively from globalisation and trying to impose restrictions on imports from Asia etc. has been demonstrated to be economic suicide more than once.
