We need to protect our lead in tech and information and attack China's chances of leapfrogging us. Protect our industries, protect democracy. Build up our allies. Build a stronger world.

The risk is that China becomes better than us at everything we do. Then what do we have? Being protectionist is anti-growth. Industry and innovation shut down.

A new cold war is coming. The sooner we get ahead of it, the better prepared we'll be.

The future is knowledge work. Manufacturing domestically is regressive. We need to put the supply chain in the hands of our developing allies.

We shouldn't want to train anyone to do menial jobs anyway. We're about to enter an era where we'll have plenty of creative, knowledge jobs for everyone.
