Who gave China the road, brother?
They already pay workers much lower wages than us. Yes, China was much cheaper than many countries in the world in terms of competition because labor costs were very low in China. Now wages are not as low as they used to be, as far as I know.
Who built so many factories in China?
Who decided to manufacture all mobile phones in China?
Who decided that China should produce all the cars and spare parts?
Once upon a time, I was preparing a proposal for the construction of a cement factory. The proposal included equipment assembly works. When the famous French cement manufacturer to whom we gave the bid gave the equipment list, I realized that almost all the equipment of the factory was made in China.
Who decided to manufacture such huge equipment in China?
Who transferred the technology of everything to China?
In construction, we decide on the brands of equipment such as elevators and escalators at the beginning of construction.
Because the gaps to be left in the reinforced concrete or the details of the supports on which the equipment will sit differ slightly for each brand. When the brand is clear at the beginning of the work, we don't have to break and pour the reinforced concrete. That's why I dealt with elevator companies a lot in my time.
Almost all this equipment is produced in China. There are special elevator factories in China. Even some parts are identical. An unbranded factory in the industrial site produces and sells some such parts only to elevator factories.
Who allowed such an industry to develop in China?
Even sneakers are all made in China! Can you imagine, they are all plastic shoes, but no matter what brand they are, they are produced in China!
Then they say we are having a trade war. They say China has grown too much!
Of course it will grow. If you say they should do everything, I can say it has grown even less.
Even in construction, Chinese companies now offer the cheapest bids.
You ask why you have such low mobilization costs. The construction site chief says that this much dormitory is enough for the workers. One sleeps in the same bed at night, the other during the day. He says one bed is enough for two shifts. Therefore, the mobilization cost is much lower than our bid.
They are already paying much lower wages to the workers than us.
Yes, China was much cheaper than many countries in the world in terms of competition because labor costs were very low in China.
Now wages are not as low as they used to be, as far as I know.
But that's why, until yesterday, the world's dominant powers preferred to produce all kinds of technology products in China under their control.
But now they have realized that this was a big mistake, because China has become a world giant, sometimes by reverse engineering, sometimes by stealing technology, and recently by developing its own technology in most areas, with its population advantage.
When there were disruptions during the pandemic, the world came to its senses. They realized that they were dependent on China for everything.
However, it was very easy for America.
Yes, China did not say that you print money on a piece of paper and pay for everything produced for you with a piece of paper, China accepted America's dollars and accumulated them in its vault.
Today, China has even more dollars than America.
You will give so much labor for a piece of paper. You don't actually get anything in return, you work like a slave for all these years for what is in a sense an empty return.
But look, now it's a world giant!
For a long time the world has started to split into two poles again.
You know when you step on the gas slowly, in the same way, the world is slowly being loaded with stress.
The sides are already more or less clear. America and its crutch Europe on one side, China and Russia, which it supports under its arms, and the countries in its immediate neighborhood on the other.
For now, India is close to the British because of its old codes. But you never know.
The Ukraine war has been the battlefield where the sides have been weighing each other for some time now.
Winter has passed and spring has come to Ukraine again.
Ukraine's spring has not been like our spring for a while. As the weather warms up, the drums of war begin to beat in that land. Like a polar bear waking up from hibernation and attacking everything because it is so hungry, Russia has already started making plans for new purposes.
For this purpose, negotiations are being held with China, probably to get support.
I don't know what kind of concrete support the Russians will get from China, but while we are focused on domestic issues with the election rush, the world is focused on slightly different issues. Slowly they started to throw wood under the cauldron.
I think it is worth watching.
