It's three times the size of the US and then some, and costs are much

The currency exchange rate is manupulated. I think the US finally took
action on this.

If by "manipulated" you mean that China is propping up the US
currency for reasons of its own, then I agree with you.

If by "action" you mean continuing a policy of horrendous deficit
spending, so that the real value of the US dollar keeps declining
against other currencies, then I agree with you.
