[quote=moneymaker]What would happen if China nationalized all the manufacturing over there? Kinda like Mexico did to the oil fields in the 70’s. Being communistic I wouldn’t rule it out.Or maybe they already own them, I’m not sure but seems to me they could stop exporting to the US and still survive by exporting to the rest of the world,might be a good thing for us actually because then we could start making stuff here.[/quote]

Nationalizing manufacturing isn’t going to happen because China isn’t stupid.

That said, what they could do is they could use their governmen bodies to drive out foreign companies and foreign competition in their own home markets or at least make their domestic companies have an upper hand…Sort of what they did with anti-trust lawsuits against Qualcomm, Microsoft, and other tech companies there.
