It is lower quality. It is made by underpaid starving children in horrible working conditions and long hours in highly polluted cities real close to being unliveable dumps with highly hazardous air quality. If I hired you and underpaid you, overworked you and starved you: how should I logically expect the quality of your work to be in the long run?
This is the only reason everything is Made in CHINA: Careless and Lawless EXPLOITATION of expendable humans (children) and nature (Pollution levels in China will not magically get better). That and cheaper everything to build their products for the previous reason. It has reached a tipping point. The bubble is about to pop.
I actually fix TVs for fun and don't get me started on Chinese capacitors.
Yes Shipping and Storage costs of billions of products that are not selling faster enough anymore will make China obsolete. No High Volume sales of their garbage products = Bye Bye China.
That is exactly how businesses go bankrupt: Lower Sales + lower volume = shipping costs go up, then you must raise prices to cope which leads to even lower sales volume and then storage costs goes through the roof. RIP.
Also, Apple is the most overpriced underperforming cute garbage on the market. Apple only survives on HYPE. I give it another 10 years max before hipsters wake up.
Obviously common Americans have less money, as you stated nearly nothing is currently made and manufactured in America.
If you flood America with Made in China products, how do you expect new American companies to exist, establish themselves and thrive in a capitalist economy?
They have to be completely careless about the environment and exploit children to be competitive with China.
It needs to start somewhere and sometime. The time is now.
That or Let's let China be the new superpower by doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. (Leftist way of thinking and definition of insanity)
Its okay, business is not your forte. Leave that to Trump. Making America Great Again will directly benefit Cuck Canada. You should be all for it.
There is so much wrong with this post I don't know where to begin.
There are bad and there are great Chinese factories. You're notion of all Chinese factories running on child labour is ludicrous.
Shipping costs? The company importing the item pays shipping, not the Chinese factory.
Storage costs? Don't make me laugh. Chinese factories work on a PO basis; they're not making millions of whatever and it doesn't just sit there waiting for someone to purchase it back in the Western world. You put an order in, then they make it. Oh, and shipping costs are flat, you only ship when the container is full; so if you ship less it costs the importing company less money.
Apple surviving on hype? 10 more years for what? What exactly? Write it out... I need another laugh...
Flood America with cheap Chinese made products... WHAT??? Where do you think everything is made? And it's been made in China for the last few decades! Ever heard of Walmart, you know the retail giant? Go for a walk through it's hallways and look at the tags.
American companies exist by importing and distributing products. Maybe they designed it (Intel, Apple, etc...) or maybe they just bought what the factory was producing (Dollarama, Walmart, etc...). Or they innovate and build something that requires their particular expertise (aftermarket Jeep parts for example...)
The time is now? Sigh! The only thing it's time for is other South-East Asian countries to get a bigger share of the manufacturing pie. All these tariffs have pushed manufacturing to Vietnam, etc...
China will be the next superpower, it's only a matter of time. They are the biggest consumers on earth. New product launches now happen in China. Car manufacturers make cars specifically only for China. Luxury brands have opened store after new store in China to satisfy the never ending demand for their goods.
It's clear business is not your forte either. Either that or you're still in business school learning the basics. Forget the textbooks, the above is how the real world works. I should know, I work for a company that has been manufacturing and importing into Canada for 35 years and just like our competitors, we've done all of the above. Trumps tariffs are a game, a wool pulled over the eyes of the converted.
