Isn't the supply chain something the U.S. needs China more for? The money we make in the supply chain is just a fraction of what American companies earn, right? The lion's share of the profit and the glory go to the U.S. If American companies collapse, our supply chain would immediately shift to Chinese enterprises, and there wouldn't be any unemployment issues. It would just be a transfer. But what would the U.S. lose? Profits and glory. Yes, that's right—glory. If we sanction Apple and Tesla, the U.S. would lose its only two sources of pride, and we would truly become the leaders in the fields of smartphones and new energy vehicles.
What supply chain, what domestic production rate—none of these are as important as the profits and glory brought by the main manufacturers and complete vehicle factories. If Apple and Tesla lose their leading positions, both the U.S. stock market and bonds would crash.
