oscarsdad Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I don’t normally read the sun but this came up on apple news this morning and IDS is quite right. China cannot be allowed to become the largest economic and military superpower in the world, the rest of the world needs to stand up to them and stop being frightened of upsetting them - I agree with IDS. But therein lies the problem, the world has become so dependent on cheap Chinese manufacturing (which isn’t really cheap, costs are artificially depressed by the commie government) - e.g British manufacturers source parts from China because no one else can compete.

oldypigeonpopper Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Hello, good post, the Chinese government have been subsidising manufacturing for years, a company I know are in the Silicon industry, and China sell the same product for rock bottom prices just to keep factories working which has now out priced the UK company that from 50 employees it's now around 10 and share price has fallen to an all time low, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being sarcastic, if you think I would give £12.40 for 4 to my local dealer where I can get 50 from the other side of the world delivered to my home for £2.85 it’s going to be China all day long.

blackbird Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) If I put the remaining 46 in the bin I would still have £9.55 in my pocket, better in my pocket than the garages till 👍 Edited January 17, 2021 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armsid Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 We need to stop giving aid to China and use it at home.This pandemic has shown how reliant we are on China at the expense of our own workforce, and also fact that they can walk in and hoover up our companies(conspiracy theory was this what they wanted the West on ifs knees financially) The more we buy from China the more our dole queu will rise.
