Even 1900 years ago, a roman philosopher wailed about the trade balance deficit of the roman empire against China for silk imports.

[@MM-zp4dz]

Pliny the Elder pined about the drain of silver (from the Roman empire) because Roman women loved Chinese silk. He also mentioned that the best steel came from Siera (Roman term for China) and the next best steel was from Parthia (modern Persia).

Factories have already started to leave China for cheaper places due to the rising wages and cost of living in general.

[@dwchen1]

Everybody think that foreign companies begin to leave China to another country in their hundreds because of rising wages in China, but the reality is the opposite, why...? China's manufacturing sector is already upgrading their level from low tech stuff to high tech precision manufacturing techniques involving lots of automation and robotics, in the last 5 years China spent over $49 billion in robotics and automation, and going to spent hellalot more in coming years. This means Chinese experience and expertise in high tech manufacture is almost on par with the West, South Korea, and Japan, while all developing country left way far behind in this field. Lots of people think that foreign companies will leave China and go to Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Thailand because wages there are cheaper, but leaving and moving is one thing, if the country they try to move have absolutely nothing(infrastructure, experience, and expertise, skilled workers, efficiency, technology) then it just doesn't work. All of these countries are simply can't compete with China in terms of hi-tech manufacturing techniques, experience, and expertise. Everytime all developing countries try to compete and catch up with China in this field China already moving way far ahead.

The legend has it that when the European explorers came to New York Manhattan, they bought the whole Manhattan with some trinkets of shiny glass beats. That is how the Europeans and Americans made money around the world, through wars and through trinkets of shiny glass beats. What China did is realizing that those are just trinkets. And so they mass produce these trinkets in such a scale that make them ALL CHEAP WITH REASONABLY GOOD QUALITY. They turn CPU chips into trinkets of cheap with good quality. Remember the old days when CPU chips are the crowns of Western technology advancement? Each CPU is like the marvel of the Gods to the people around the world. Chinese just make them, shrug their shoulders and sell them like nothing. They turn cars, both combustion and electric, into trinkets of cheap with good quality. They even 319-seater trans-continental airplanes into trinkets of cheap with good quality. Oh well relatively speaking of course. Everything are but trinkets of cheap with good quality when they come from China. And to top it off, they just built a huge network of high speed train in 10 years! The tiny inter-county connector road took my local government 20 years to build. And the Chinese just built a huge network of high speed train like NOTHING. What does that mean? That means the days of producing something and sell them at extraordinary price are long gone. The aura of exceptionalism and greatness are nothing but just trinkets in the eyes of Chinese, who can just look at anything and just reproduce it. 10 times cheaper, 1000 times larger in scale. LV? $2000 for a bag? You kidding me? Chinese can make it WITH EXACTLY SAME HIGH QUALITY for less than $50. CPU at 5nm. You think that is secret of the Western industrial crown jewel? China can make it too, 70% cheaper. Everything they touch, they can just make it equally good and much cheaper. You can always diss them that they don't make the same quality. But that is not true. They can make equally good quality products as long as you give them the price within 30% of what it costs you to make. The reason that some products are cheap with low quality is that because you give them the price at 1%, 5%, 10% and you pocket the rest. So you see, Chinese make all these products cheap with good quality. That means the Europeans and Americans can not fool the current day Native Americans from selling Manhattan with nothing but some trinkets of shiny objects. The Native Americans can get TONS of trinkets of shiny beats from the Chinese. And that is the problem that is facing the Europeans and Americans.

Most importantly, Chinese people are hardworking and clever, we have the value and pride for ourselves, that’s why we keep making progress.

[@joeburns88]

I can't disagree with that. I think (from a non-Chinese vantage point) or feel the Chinese are moving from pride and hardworking to cleverness and arrogance. Chinese probably can't see that, but others can. With all the disputes China has with it's neighbors, which mostly are of their (China's) own making, they are now in a mood to prepare for war...something historically many countries have done when they became overconfident.

[@yangxiao6437]

America is just not in building mode. It can't cause it's pretty much corporate owned, which means profits first. That turns the states to be much short sights. China government body is much stronger to move fast. And it's people are already used to working hard. Nowadays, they are more into details because of the growing too. At the same time, America is still digging into same old number games. Therefore instead of making new profits, they are only shifting profits like it's new tax reform. American companies may be a little more competitive, but cross your fingers they would help the states back home as return. It's just going to tax more from American to pay back the cost which is trillions more to the deficit.

[@chestybuller5580]

depends. if the corps can save by have a corp tax that is low enough, they will return. You can beat the Asians at their own game, just give the same subsidies and breaks you give to the foreigner back to US companies. Hold politicians accountable also. The issue is there is too much market eye candy in China, a huge population with spending power, same in India, Nigeria etc. I think Trump is trying to keep/bring the mfg back, and open up access to their markets. Its the same thing the Asians have been doing to the U.S.

If you let them, they will take it all, because its too easy for them.

[@cchui01]

Chesty Buller there's so many things to talk. i think i can use sanitary/health as a measure of the return. if i am not wrong, the next #1 thing china is going to reach while still tackling other existing focuses is this. Chinese is already believing the country's growing. Having #1 in health care access can make even bigger blow for the world to see (similar to suburban trains/etc). In America, the return from Obamacare is already a failure, quality obviously down and premium still rising fast. The premium is already as high as mortgage payment. we just don't have the power besides taxes. like the gov didn't encourage anything like for the Obamacare to include social & moral benefits to encourage health care providers or the fields. My niece is working hard in emergency and they are so short handed. it takes great courage to be real helper taking the course to become a professional in this field. many now reluctant to be doctors even. they rather just get to nursing. the country needs to grow ppl in the fields. i know this is a much harder issue, but i believe the Chinese gov would say "why not". this is based on few visiting care experiences for last 15 years there.

The US at one time was only a British colony, so 200+ years of history, can't produce that much of people in such a short time. 😂 And China can be regarded as a late bloomer, waiting for the West to develop, from the British Empire to the US.
