    China’s economy is already undergoing a transformation and they’ve started moving their capital overseas. Chinese owned businesses will operate out of lots of other countries.

    Also: it takes a long time for supply chains to handle change as we saw with the pandemic. How many years of high prices for Chinese goods before all of the manufacturing has left China? That is assuming that other countries can immediately match Chinese efficiency and don’t have higher prices for many more years due to needing to recoup the initial expenditure.

    Yeah it sucks that capitalists outsourced (and continue to outsource even in the service sector) all of your jobs, but they’re doing it because even the meager amount of your production that was coming back into your pocket rather than lining theirs is too much for them to tolerate you having.

    You’re attacking the problem from the wrong angle because that’s how they want you to attack it. Funny how the wealthiest American oligarchs aren’t threatened by any of this economic change that’s supposedly here to help the average American.

    You’re worried about “right to work” while Elon added 70 billion to his net worth and thousands of people (generations of his offspring) will never have to work a day in their extravagant lives.

    Keep worrying about CHY-nuh, though.

      Nuh uh. I’m worried that China is actually going to pose a threat. I’m worried that the CCP is going to continually abuse their populus. I’m worried that China will continue to play dirty like they always have.

      If they take their operations elsewhere, the problem will expand and the problem would unironically suck. I just hope to god that the other countires they’re expanding out to don’t allow absolute exploit of their people and have proper inspections, health & safety, certs, standatds, etc.

          the usa literally uses child labor internally lmfao. The difference is that in normal countires, there’s actual bramches of gov that do their job.

          I mean. In the us, it’s a solvable problem. Take some time and lobby and encourage others too.
