, mentioned on a radio show last night, but several years ago america (ie usa) accounted for about 20% of all the world imports .. maybe now it is more like 13%... sure that is still significant .. but on the decline ..
threats of restricting access to american markets , thus become increasingly irrelevant
may as well mention it here, but every so now and then watso looks at the share price of ASML .. the share price is down 40% from its peak just 4 months ago ..
america has done everything to hinder the chinese .. and bullying countries/companies to join with america in imposing sanctions blah blah blah ,, and ASML was one of those companies (something to do with computer chips and chip making equipment ) ..
sadly for america, china has only become stronger .. developing their own technologies .. eg first 16 minutes of following vid
and then after 16 minutes - there is a segment about solar - where america once dominated the market .. now china totally dominates
