US can’t overcome manufacturing gap with China

Ya, no shit.

Um, duh? Does anyone understand how long it takes to build manufacturing equipment or the buildings meant to house it all? Or if that equipment can even reasonably be manufactured itself? Or if there are even enough people to do the work? Or if enough of those people are educated well enough to do the work? Or if there’s money anywhere to make any of that possible at all never mind within a reasonable timeframe?

Gap? Lol the difference would be better measured in AU. China has been manufacturing pretty much everything on earth for decades.
