@calestous @POTUS @D_Brautigam if you look at some of the largest employers in China they are in garment or assembly lines for technology
@calestous @POTUS @D_Brautigam they are suppliers contracted by US firms to produce for US consumers. Forcing, e.g., has over 1m employees
@calestous @POTUS @D_Brautigam these companies were developed by US tech giants and retailers such as Wal-Mart. US built China manufacturing

@calestous @POTUS @D_Brautigam we have seen some shifts for footwear moving to Ethiopia - previously China bought raw leather from Africa
