Chinese workers don't make nearly as much as an American worker yet. Much more then they used to but nowhere near it. Especially when you bring in total compensation packages(benefits, pensions/401k, health, vacation/time off, etc).
And don't forget, a lot of companies moved to china simply so that they can save money by not having to follow any environmental regulations.

Then why is that excellent set of Chinese kitchen knives 6 times cheaper than the same German set on Amazon, and about 15 times cheaper than the German set in my local store? There is zero apparent difference in quality or functionality. I'm simply not going to buy something that's retardedly expensive.

I forgot about the robots. This maybe their opportunity to push on this without to much blowback or resistance. After all, robots don't get sick or go around spreading diseases.

Yes. Red tape keeps the rich safe from real competition. I always wonder why they would put so much red tape in place to stifle economic growth and innovation, then complain about wage stagnation and needing to create jobs. I now know it was always part of (((the plan))).

10 years of solid R&D of 3D printing tech starting now will have us 1000 times better off than hitching our wagon to Chink labor.
Once we get into full Sintering, there will be no looking back. Miracle materials. And your stupid cheap dollar-store style trinkets can be put into a grinder and reused as printing medium once you get sick of dusting them.

EXACTLY. NO "one world" (globalism) economy. Do NOT "develop" other nations. That's THEIR business to do as THEY see fit, NOT OURS. We are just as bad as Europe "used" to be with imperialism. Let the niggers BE NIGGERS on their OWN. Failure to do this will DESTROY US ALL.
