They will be forced to down size, as there government dictated excess capacity will be trimmed - like it or not. A transition to make it where you sell it will become a universal consideration as the trade rules get reforged via Trump's insistence. We're seeing the very beginning of a "cheap labor" wins all - fall out of favor. AI and robotics will become the manufacturing norm on a smaller size plant footprint, dependant on the size of the local domestic market. Just as unions made the USA non competitive, The Chinese government dictating excess capacity, to manufacture for the "entire globe" will prove to be a a blunder of huge proportions and necessitate billions if not several trillions of write downs and closures. Governments always screws up what should be made by free and fair market conditions. China is about to learn that the hard way. Bob

We went to an informal memorial yesterday for our neighbor at one of the Criminal Courts in Los Angeles. He was the Assistant DA who handled the scheduling of all of the criminal trials until he was diagnosed with brain cancer 9 months ago at the age of 72. He had previously spent decades as a criminal prosecutor. I was really very impressed with judges and prosecutors who operate our criminal courts. Roughly a hundred really humble and caring people who stayed after work on a Friday to remember their work colleague. I've not met so many kind people at any business. One of the judges is runner whose runs take him past the homeless shelter downtown and encourages people to join him, telling them running always makes him feel better. He gives out running shoes to those are interested in doing so. One of the court reporters told me about various homeless people whose first step in getting reintegrated back into a more normal life was joining the judge on his daily run. I really liked our neighbor and his wife, but I was surprised I liked his work colleagues even more. Probably because my only prior experience with LA's criminal courts has been as a juror - so I've only seen them carrying out their proceedings. Such caring people run our court system. Those they send to prison may not see that at first, but some do later. One of the pieces of art on the courtroom wall behind the jurors box was a gift to one of the judges from one of the people he had sent to prison for 32 years, after he'd been there for more than 25 years. Our judges and prosecutors don't just hand out a sentence and forget about the victims and offenders who appear in their court. They earn far less than they would at a big law firm but they do what they do because they think it's important. Our neighbor wanted his ashes spread in Dodger baseball stadium, and they'll probably figure out a way to make that happen.
