China is deliberately undercutting western manufacturers so western factories will close.

Not only will that make the west totally dependent on China for manufactured goods but it will make the west unable to fight China in the inevitable event of a war with them.

In the Second World War car factories make tanks and even aircraft.

How would that happen if China is successful in taking over the electric car industry?

How about drones, the future of modern warfare? 90% are made in China, as are the drone batteries.
