>>4303000Western labour is too expensive for the culture of cyclical upgrades, but if people could go back to putting up with the concept of not having every toy imaginable RIGHT NOW and having the best one RIGHT NOW it would be fine.
Like paying an extra $400 for a bicycle - how many fucking bicycles do you buy?
If anything cameras, bikes, etc should be more expensive.
>>4303080China is part of the american economic system. Our government has been purposefully propping them up and ensuring they stay cheap. We allow their industrial and economic espionage specifically because of the arrangement you stated: it allows american businesses to buy incomplete assemblies for less than they can make them as long as china is worse to live in than the US.
Modern china would not even exist as the strong class divide, genocidal, dog roasting regime it is without us. In 2000, there was an outcry about clinton fully normalizing and extending most favored nation status with them and ever since then china has gotten away with all of the exact same things our overlords say we need to hate and refuse to trade with russia for.
