Why can't the West into high tech manufacturing anymore?

Think about this: this is LITERALLY what apple does. They take a $300 chink piece of shit, slap on an apple logo and add a huge markup. Never mind that the batteries will burn your house down, that the CPU throttles to .8GHz, and spec of dust will kill your keyboard.

Lmao not where the sweatshops with suicide nets are located. With a country full of rice farmers barely getting by on one meal a day there are plenty of people willing to work for peanuts just to escape the rice paddies.

Easily devalued fiat currency.

>With a country full of rice farmers barely getting by on one meal a day

This hasn't happened in the entire time you've been alive.

>"While poverty has been reduced immensely in China over the past decade, it still remains a large problem in rural China.[31] Rural China has historically been disproportionately taxed and also have received fewer benefits from the recent economic development and success of China.[31] Agriculture has been the main occupation for the inhabitants of rural China, and in villages the produce generated is used to feed the village and not for selling on the market. Even in the heartlands of China where agriculture is used for commercial purposes, the economic boom of China has actually led to a decrease in the price of produce which has resulted in a loss of income for these producers.[32]"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_China

Half of the chinks in china are still working in them paddies user, of the course the media doesn't want you to know that so you can feel good about that chink import you're using right now.

Diversity

No, you idiot, this shit about living on one meal a day and barely getting by. Shit like China's starvation problems ended decades ago.

It is literally stupid to think of China as anything other than a still expanding industrial giant. The world's king of light industry and potentially soon heavy industry.

Your comment sounds as stupid as saying America is poor because someone's grandpa lived through the depression. Your link starts off by pointing out that China's poverty rate has shrunk from 88% to 6.5% in 31 years, btw.

FYI the "sweatshops where the suicide nets are located" is where Chinese people are getting paid the best, not fucking farms.

Minimum wage over here is $3.89 USD/hr, or $712.88 USD/ month working up to 60hr weeks.

>people actually think it costs 25 cents to make a car in China

>Nope
What you're talking about is globalism.

It can and still does but not for regular consumers. Government contractors especially for the military produce a lot of stuff domestically. Cheap foreign production drove domestic production out of the market.

>China's poverty rate has shrunk from 88% to 6.5% in 31 years, btw.
Das right BUT there is a huge "gotcha" hidden in there. That figure only accounts for people making $1.90 a day or less. Now do you know how many chinks are making more than $1/hour?

How does exploitation of jungle monkeys and paddy hoppers have anything to do with globalism?

Why does the US or EU produce anything? If this is true, their cost of labour should preclude them producing literally anything at a competitive price.

merchants import cheap trash and kill national industry. national economy become anemic and dependant on other countries

The trade effect of globalism is exactly that, if you're a company you seek labor where it's the cheapest. You might see it as exploitation in a first world perspective but those jobs are a step up for many in third world counties.

Just some food for thought: if you were forced to live on $10/day could you somehow possibly survive? Remember that includes money for rent, utilities, bills, food, and any other expenses for your day to day life.

Be grateful anons, that's what more than 70% of all people on earth have to deal with every living day.

Depends on where I lived. What we use for currency has no intrinsic value so the same banknote (or imaginary number representing a possible banknote) can buy vastly different amounts of ordinary stuff depending on what country you exchange it in.
So if I moved somewhere where the rent was only $80 a month and a gallon of milk was 25 cents, then sure, I could live on ten dollars a day.

The Chinese don't live on dollars. They live on Yuan.

>Das right BUT there is a huge "gotcha" hidden in there.

That's not a gotcha, that's their income, which is rising.

>Now do you know how many chinks are making more than $1/hour?

It's 2019, It's virtually all of them.

Right which is worse.

lmao, you're cute. There are entire hubdreds of miles of city blocks in china filled with fucking favelas that look even brazilians wouldn't live in.

But like I said the news won't ever mention stuff like that because they want you to keep being a good go- I mean consumer.

that deal was shit. absolute scam from walker

Oh no, housing isn't good in rapidly expanding industrial giants. Sounds usual, every European and American nation that industrialized had the exact same experience.

Nice try at trying to deflect, btw, first it was people committing suicide in the rice paddie fields, now it's people living in standards lower than Brazils (which isn't true, both countries have actually near identical housing problems). China is rich and getting richer, soon the average person in China will be middle class by first world standards, definitely within 20 years. The country has real problems, but it's pretty obvious you wouldn't know anything about that. Thanks for giving everyone the "real" news.

The deal is still on, it's just that somewhat fewer resources are being invested into it. There's still just as much land being taken away from average citizens to make room for the factory, for instance.

>to do what chinks do for $1/hour
if $1/hour is 4 times the chink minimum wage then they're kind of equivalent...

cost of living
value of currency controlled by central banks

>Why can't the West into high tech manufacturing anymore?
the supply chain is not THERE
when you have to ship pre-production and post-production materials back to china every other step, you're not being efficient, and you're losing a lot of fucking time and money

you can, and almost always do, have the "brains" on this end, but the manufacturing doesn't work unless every part of the manufacturing is in the same place
it's easier to get that hellhole to keep polluting itself than to get things done in a region that has governments that at least sometimes sort of pretend they care about well being and quality of lives for the people needing to breathe the air

something is missing from that story. how much does it cost to live in a city like shenzhen? in the US it would be literally impossible to live on $700/mo unless you had some sort of government assistance.

absolute scam is what it is. tax breaks for a company = bribe. they'd have been better off giving the couple billion out in checks to every citizen in wi rather than bribing some chink company.

I'd rather give money to a corporation that creates jobs any day than undeserving bums looking for a handout.

>$30/hour to do what chinks do for $1/hour
>The only way this can work out is if product prices sharply rose an equal 30X more
>price has to increase the same as the cost per hour of labour

But that's a good thing. Why have factories when your overall standard of living suffers?

Too high costs. We used to build shit. Now we just put our hands in the next guys pocket. What is keeping the economy going I have no idea.
