China's unique economic strategies present a stark challenge for American industries. Z explains that although China may not possess the same abundance of raw materials as the United States, it has managed to build a robust processing industry through significant state subsidies and massive investments in various industrial sectors.

Z notes that the lower environmental regulations in China further allow them to operate at reduced costs, thus crippling competition from higher-regulated environments such as those in the U.S.
