How does a highly automated factory zone in the Philippines gel with the administrations promise of bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US?
It gels with the US being ready if/when PRchina invades Taiwan.

#23> The hub will have diplomatic immunity, such as the protections afforded to an American embassy, and operate under U.S. common law—the first arrangement of its kind anywhere in the world. The two-year lease is renewable for 99 years.
This seems like a 19th century style colonial concession. I would have hoped we were past that.

#25China proofing the Philippines? Undead General MacArthur would like a word. If there's a war over Taiwan they're the next nearest set of islands.
China didn't manufacture all the world's stuff back then. A Chinese official has literally responded to complaints from the Philippines over fishing outside their territory or something with something very close to "China is a big country, and the Philippines is not. Deal with it."

It's the best deal they are gonna get from anyone and it comes with implied US protection against Chinese aggression.

You're making the mistake of thinking that the words they say mean something

The same US that famously follows through with protection promises?

#30Just another symptom that the US is unable to manufacture for itself.
That is giant fallacy. There is more manufacturing in the USA than people know about. Trump Administration wont admit to it because it helps sell their lies. Two of the three companies I worked for had / has design and manufacturing in the USA. Former one was bought by Texas VCs and they shipped jobs over seas to maximize profit. Their only goal after buying the company was to make XX millions in 10 years by any mean…
Oh yeah? Go try to buy anything at any store not made abroad. Go try to buy a car not reliant on foreign parts. Or a computer, or a phone, or medicine, or clothes... It's not easy.
