They mass produce stuff cause they have cheap labor. Are you happy that manufacturing has gone to China?

"Are you happy that manufacturing has gone to China?" No I think we're f'd because of it. It was un-avoidable, actually it was just math that it would happen. I think the actual decision to become the world's global currency, probably in the 80s cemented our fate. It's impossible to be a producer/net exporter and be the world's global reserve currency.

Yes, lots of issues pop up when economics and human systems are in place. Humans can't make anything that is perfect, so shit will happen, always. No one trusts the Chinese government. Only the dictators in Africa dealt with China because they got directly paid. Which countries around China, like China? Any of the other Asian countries around China, trust or have good relations with China?

Maybe they're just a cleaner shirt in dirty laundry now. We have pretty much destroyed confidence in the way we do business with the world. Our primary way of doing business has been coercion vs China's is more like persuasion.
