CCP owns the country like a sovereign. An intellectual failing of libertarians is not understanding the distinction between sovereign property and property under a sovereign. That said, manufacturing didn't exactly move to China - it was chased out of the US and allowed there.

Allowed there due to a foolish libertarian meme known as "free trade". Libertarians made an enemy of protectionism and did everything they could to destroy it which ultimately benefited leftists in the end. I guess another aspect was Globalists wanting their fingers on China

No, it was allowed in China because CCP respected property rights of their subjects so they spent resources to build manufacturing capacity. USG is run by religious fanatics who hate the idea of manufacturing so they undermined it by destroying the order it needed to exist.

All "free trade" did was allow Americans to continue enjoying industrial products. If it didn't exist all of the US would be like CA residents with electric power. Progs didn't *move* power generation out of CA, they shut it down where they have (political) power. Same for mfg

NAFTA was enacted by H.W. Bush, China's ascension to WTO was done by Clinton and G.W. Bush. Plenty of Republicans were free trade fanatics until the advent of Trump. I'm confident they weren't doing it out of progressive beliefs. The prog egregore took advantage of libertarian

to serve itself, however, the idea that America needed it due to prog outright domination is wrong, as prog domination is only somewhat novel. Remember the 90's were the crime wave where Democrats had to imprison the "superpredators".

Similar situation with CA and electric power generation. Progs dominated and so made it impossible to generate power in CA. Other states are not as prog dominated and so sold power to CA. The cause of CA not generating power isn't that they're allowed to buy power from others.

It is, because only a collapse from a lack of power would cause regime change from permanent prog rule. So Republicans by endorse free trade, ensuring their own defeat by their enemies surviving.

So instead of Americans understanding the true repercussions of manufacturing regulations, outsourcing it to China allowed all these inherent problems to languish until a time came when America must manufacture to get out of a crisis.

Imperialism and Progressivism are intertwined, by creating a dependence on foreign powers it means a necessity to control those foreign powers. This means imperialism is inherently parasitic as you give up the capability do something oneself and depend on others to do it for you.

A place can survive a lot of misrule if there's not a group ready and able to conquer it. If we went back to pre-industrial standards of living because of progressivism that doesn't bring down the regime.

Yes, obviously. The country also just finished fighting an industrial war - there was plenty of existing capital stock - getting rid of it all at once is too obvious. Progs always wanted to Morgenthau Plan all of the west but the frog has to be boiled slowly.
