Submission Statement: the U.S. may be the first country to deliberately outsource its military supply chain to an adversary in exchange for cost savings.
The scale of the U.S. military’s dependence on China is staggering. Carriers, missiles, aircraft, missile defenses and tanks all rely on components or materials sourced from the People’s Republic. China is the largest foreign supplier of critical technologies for the Department of Defense, ahead of even close allies like the U.K. and Japan. Greg Hayes, the CEO of Raytheon, has stated that it would be impossible for him to decouple from China, as his company relies on thousands of suppliers there.
And that goes both ways. China is also dependent on the vast array of electronics supply chains around Asia. Doubtless the West is more exposed in this regard though.
It is the 21st century. Autarky hasnt been possible for a century or more.
The government has begged and pleaded and done everything to build manufacturing in this country. It makes me think we have systemic issues making it difficult.
