The CA Port Strike

[william the wie]

I'm getting several post port strike reports about the current trade and lower US vulnerability to a trade war:
If this is so then why are there no or low numbers of reports of:

mass exodus from China

layoffs and strikes

trade deficits and out sourcing by Chinese companies

Something is wrong with this picture but what?

Now China is threatening retaliation if tariffs go through.

I searched for news on a California port strike but it was all from 2017 and 2015, nothing current. Where did you hear about this?

It was all over in the coverage of the trade negotiations. Cleaning up the backlog of Chinese shipments caused a lot of companies to switch away from China and the west coast. The mountain passes also figured in on the logistics rethink. most of the Chinese fleet cannot use the Panama Canal and US importers increasingly do not want West Coast delivery in the future due to the reliability problem.
