How China Counters US Hegemony

[@ARCofRESISTANCE]

China has the greatest manufacturing capacity. US has the greatest clown production capacity and the greatest national debt.

You will not see a huge return of manufacturing to the US until the US dollar loses its status as the world reserve currency. The status makes the dollar too expensive, and therefore manufactured goods and exports too expensive to be competitive. The reason why the US had both the manufacturing superpower status (along with good paying union jobs) and the reserve currency status back in the 1950s is because most of the world was not yet industrialized, or they were still recovering from the damage of WWII. You can tell how quickly US manufacturing declined as a share of global output when other nations industrialized once again (like Germany or Japan) or industrialized for the first time like China and South Korea.

[@CarlZha]

well said

[@hayden1770]

@@CarlZha I'm not sure even when the US loses the world reserve currency status, that it would have a rebound in manufacturing, considering that so many of the skills needed for reindustrialization are missing, as you pointed out. A lot of those people are either dead or retired. If it happens, it'd take many decades at the earliest.

You made a good point Carl, the factories in China are selling in Ex Work terms or FOB terms, once the goods leave the factory all those freight and duty tax will be bear by the consumers in the U.S. 😅 that's foolish

Listening to Brian on the New Atlas, "information space". I remembered watching the movie the Killing Fields when I was a child. I think a hell of a lot of work needs to be done to expose western atrocities just like this when it when It terrified me as a child.

[@enzoh7763]

The killing in Cambodia was the result of power politics . The American want to maintain imperial hegemony . Damn with other people lives .

[@antwango]

thanks for movie recommend

[@enzoh7763]

@antwango , Don't just watch the movie . Its a hollywood version in the eyes of western establishment . They are partners in the sphere . - May we suggest , Read up on paper book , old books , wriiten in 1980+ about the people experience . As a judge of history , We all need to read deeply on the issue from both or multiple side & angles . - It might be difficult to do research , because its almost 50 yrs already . Look for the elders , for stories about their life post Sihanouk , and onward .

While the United States is busy building military bases around the world, China is also busy building seaports around the world to facilitate trading between nations as well as securing their supply chains.

There will be no companies coming back to America. They can not compete with southeast Asia wages. America labor cost is too high

[@BillKort-xo8nj]

Wages are not the problem. US minimum wage is 7.25/h. Americans don't choose to live in tents. They do so because their wages are too low. The problem is corporate profits are too high. And, corporate taxes are too low.

[@davidlazarus67]

@@BillKort-xo8njSimilar problems in Europe. It’s only getting worse because they are dismantling safety nets. They have forgotten the lessons of history because ideology has overtaken politics.

[@BillKort-xo8nj]

@@davidlazarus67 The Western ruling-class knows its history well enough. The problem is, they hate everyone. Especially, the working-class. Further, they take no interest in the larger society. Until that changes, America will continue to be a violent society having extremes of wealth and poverty.

US can 'manufacture' by issuing derivatives for all the products. Financial manipulation is all it takes for US to boost their manufacturing industry.

[@wf645]

There is ONLY that much financial manipulation can do ... without supply chain, raw material, high labour cost, low skill US workers and the constant demand for corporate valuations, shareholders' returns and profits etc ... that's not gonna save US manufacturing.

[@Jin-oq2qu]

@wf645 that is incorrect. There are Americans who are proud owners of virtual properties. They don't need raw material, supply chain, labour, none of that.

[@MrHistoryFan]

China seeks for mutually beneficial or win-win trading relationship. However, US has the zero-sum mindset, in which they think that, if China benefits, US must be losing. As a result, US started trade war -- which will be lose-lose to both sides, and evidently US loses more.

[@davidlazarus67]

China isn’t losing more. Their economy is still growing faster than the USA.

[@DailyBeatings]

The US market is not large enough for the capital investment and return needed to create US only supply chains since the rest of the world can purchase direct from China. Therefore intermediate goods shipped from China and assembled in other countries will be the new norm as this maximizes inputs and outputs without using excessive capital.

[@ubermenschen3636]

@ 13:16 , Carl’s argument is circling the drain. Carl says Chinese manufacturers don’t pay the tariff as US importers pass the cost of tariff to consumers. Carl doesn’t follow up with the next logical questions. How does any US importer or retailer benefit from the higher retail price ? Who has been the major proponent or lobbyist to the US government for imposing tariff on Chinese goods ? The only special interest groups that lost money, stake holders, and influence as US manufacturers offshore to China are the labor unions. It is a well reported fact that US companies that have offshored manufacturing to China have earned record profit during the past 30 years while shutting down the higher labor cost of US manufacturing factories. The US labor unions are corporations, too, and they also are concerned about the bottom line. They have lobbied the politicians for tariff against China as well as hired Madison Avenue to smear the value, quality, and production of Chinese products. Essentially, the US anti-China propaganda campaign is motivated by the labor unions.

Elon’s X post today says there will be millions of driverless Tesla’s eventually on the road what he forgot to post was how China will be the reason he has the data required to meet that goal one country is open to competition & free markets one is incapable of doing capitalism without contradiction

[@rogerstarkey5390]

incorrect. the "Data" Tesla uses is teaching the cars"HOW" to drive. The Chinese data is either similar, but not as advanced yet, or is (likely) "Environment mapping" with is limited to THAT environment AND requires constant update, which is data hungry.
