The US and even Europe still produces a lot of stuff, but it's not the cheap, low-margin consumer stuff that people interact with.
Because of my job I've had to visit various manufacturers, factories, trade shows etc. You'd be surprised how much stuff is still made even here in Bulgaria.
But the reality is that even this is changing, little by little.
On the one hand chinks are becoming more independent from Europe and the US when it comes to sourcing their production lines for factories and other industrial equipment.
On the other hand a lot of smaller businesses here have learned to fist check Alibaba before even considering western equipment, because it costs significantly more.
