Why does America get inflation and everyone else gets deflation in your view?





Chinese firms that used to produce goods for the US are now going to sell these goods in other countries instead, increasing supply in the other countries, lowering prices.

Can the rest of the world just absorb the ridiculously high levels of consumption of the US market?

The less they're able to, the lower prices will be.

What happens to the majority of the industries with little profit margins?

The way of the dodo, presumably

Because China will flood the markets with its products that it can no longer economically sell in the US.

Things will cost more in the US than elsewhere assuming we (abroad) don't also attack ourselves.

In this scenario, the US voluntarily goes quasi-autarky, but everyone else continues to trade.
