The fact is that Taiwan invested in bicycle manufacturing at a time when the USA did not, and consequently have the advantage to set the market tone today.
It is what is, and if Americans don’t like it, they can act to change it. In some ways, we are doing that, but in other ways, bicycle manufacturing is not important enough to us to be worth fighting for.
