Japan to help shift output to Asean from China

Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia.

Indonesia population 267m Thailand population 69m Phillipines population 106m Vietnam population 95m Malaysia population 31m

That's half a billion right there.

China's Economy would crash if JP, US, EU, CA, AU. All decide to coordinately pull investments away from China.

Too many companies stupidly transferred their manufacturing prowess to China, only thinking about the short term gains. Now they are trying to overtake the world by threatening the world by cutting off supply chains of rare earth metals and medical equipments, etc.

High technology manufacturing should be kept within US/EU/JP. Even mass production could return to these countries since Robotics and Automation is so much better now.

India is a better option than China too.

I hope countries can act FASTER and accelerate the progress on projects like the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, Indo-Pacific Strategy, Trans Pacific Partnership, etc.

US/EU/JP has the Economic capabilities to decide the fate and future of this world.

I live in Canada. I only eat Canadian grown wheat/meat/food.

Tech and other products from US/EU/JP.

Honestly people are just being cheap, just spend an extra couple bucks to get Made in NOT China.
