新コロナウイルスのために米国に（製造業の）職が戻ることは無いと専門家

In an interview with Fox Business on Thursday, Ross said diseases like the Wuhan
coronavirus, which has killed more than a hundred people and sickened thousands,
were "another risk factor that people need to take into account" when considering
where to locate operations.

"I don't want to talk about a victory lap over a very unfortunate, very malignant
disease. But the fact is, it does give businesses yet another thing to consider
when they go through their review of their supply chain," the US minister said.

"It's understandable in Ross' capacity as the US com-merce minister to lure
manufacturers back, but it's not going to happen," Mei said. "The reality is that
China possesses a productivity and cost advantage that the US and Mexico do not."
"This is one of the coldest, most malevolent things I've ever heard," one Twitter
user named Nancy M said.
"It will do no such thing. Factories aren't built over-night. Supply chains aren't
made overnight. No one is moving factories from China back to the US. They're
going to the lower cost countries elsewhere in Asia. Coronavirus won't have any
impact on long term re-patriation," another Twitter user named "lawhawk" said.

Cong Yi, a professor at the Tianjin University of Fi-nance and Economics, told
the Global Times on Friday that Ross' nationalist comment at this time is aimed
at stirring emotions, and not something a rational politician would say.
"It is time for a global response to the outbreak, the relationship between China
and the United States should be a cooperative one, not a competitive one," Cong said.
