Completely fact-free bullshit.
Here's some actual stats:
China's minimum wage is set regionally, with Shanghai having the highest monthly minimum wage at ¥2,690 (approximately $370) and Beijing having the highest hourly minimum wage at ¥26.40 (approximately $3.70).
US minimum wage is $7.25 per hour (i.e. the lowest US minumum wage is still 2.25 X China's hghest) but many states have a higher minimum wage, for example Calfornia's is $16.50 per hour.which is s nearly 4.5 times Beijing's.
Many workplaces in China, especially the tech sector have a "996" work culture, where employees work from 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. In the US the usual standard is 8 hour days, 5 days/week.

China's innovations are largely stolen from the US.

Actually they very much do.
Just stop making shit up and google it dude.

This. The H1B is expressly meant for people with specific skills that are literally unable to found within the USA.
Like there aren't already plenty of web developers in the USA.

Sorry but the US public education system is utter crap compared to other first world countries. the DOE have had plenty of time to fix it but havent.
Instead the literacy and especially the math/science skills of American high school graduates is embarrassingly low compared to the rest of the developed world. I'd much rather have a new DOE where kids leaving high school have had a competitive education in math and science and the ability to think critically for themselves, than having been politically and socially brainwashed by all the hardcore left teachers.

"The USA has a long history of using tariffs to protect its local industries as they are quite simply noncompetitive. "

So you apparently want the US to adopt the same working standards and low pay as China for its labor force, such as longer hours, lower working standards and much lower pay? Something like $3/hour or $317/month (Currently the legal minimum wage in Guandong province where much if not most exported goods to the US are made).

"The first watch that Migicovsky and Core plan to ship is called the Core 2 Duo"

What a stupid idea. Besides the fact that it communicates nothing infomative about the product itself,
You have to wonder at the blind stupidity of thinking that naming a new product the exact same as another product from a much larger manufacturer is ever a good idea.

The problem is, the Chinese government are subsidising the hell out of all the chinese companies that export to the US. This is an intentional long term strategy to deplete the US industrial base. Consequently, Chinese products have artificially low pricing in the US, often below what it costs to make and ship them. without their government's subsidy the Chinese manufacturers would be making a loss on every unit shipped, so it's absolutely not a level playing field.
Tariffs are about the only real way to try and level it out. I agree that tarriffs cause a short-medium term economic impact on consumers, but in the long run it will help the US regain local production. Keeping going down this same road of selling out all US production to China is not only a plain crazy short-term strategy but would be the end of the US ever being able to control its own destiny or ever recover and support itself.

yeah we had a battery pack that did that too, back then.

Since when? At least for the last 10 years ,Ubuntu has always just been plug and play for me across multiple home and office environments/devices without ever having to manually install any drivers.
I can't come even close to saingy the same for Windows, even W11.

Installation challenges?
Have you tried Ubuntu in the last decade? It's installer is A LOT easier and simpler than Windows installer.

As someone that used to work in the EV/charging industry, the problem isn't solved just by making the battery bigger, it's all in the management of cell temperatures within the pack.

"This is the first time in the industry that the unit of megawatt (charge) has been achieved on charging power," he said.

BZZT WRONG.

I used to work for a company called Nxu based in AZ that demoed this in April 2023. .
We even had a free charging day where you could bring your EV and charge at upto 1MW (the charger was actually capable of 1.5MW). (Most cars maxxed out around 200Kw but that was entirely due to the max capacity of the car's charging system, not the charger)

Chinese factories aren't efficient either. That's an entirely artificial construct created by the Chinese government.
They are paying massive subsidies to Chinese companies to cover selling Chinese-made products at a loss in the US market.

Who cares what percentage he pays? Look at the sheer number of $$$ he pays, and also everything he does for the country in terms of creating jobs and leading technologies.

>> how long to build thousands or even hundreds?

From my own experience, 2 years or less. There's no shortage of people capable of building businesses in the US.
