Molson has a Chinese spouse, directly benefitted from Chinese manufacturing for a long time, and often spouts direct propaganda from his X account so while he's likely to be right about a lot of things he had/has a strong incentive to not imagine alternatives to the status quo.

Try attacking the points he made in the article instead of him.

What attacks? Fwiw: "he's likely to be right about a lot of things". Perhaps I should have been more specific: I think his analyses are mostly correct, his predictions are not.

I don't really see what he said as an attack. It's good to have some "small print" sprinkles with the meal.

For example: "you can't imagine the cheap Chinese robots coming online"... Then what's stopping an American manufacturer from buying a Chinese robot, taking the tariff hit once, then manufacturing domestically with no tariff?
