Too bad that free shipping loophole got closed up recently. Gonna make that really hard to pull off.
China to India, India to UK/Europe
China to India, India to Uk/Europe, UK/Europe to America. Even adding the tariffs up, it still makes it cheaper.
Anything stamped with "Made in X" only has to have 5% of the stuff made in that host country, which can include packaging.
What i've seen online was that the Xinnie was gonna whore out it's shills to arab and russian oligarch for cents on the dollar then xinnie was gonna use the money to buy powdered tiger cock.
he's also gonna cull 100k or so peasent and other undesirables.
Ok?
I'm genuinely concerned, where do you people get the idea that China was somehow, someway, subservient to the US? We tried the open economic policies to get China into the US sphere and that backfired so hilariously hard that China's entire gambit since Clinton has been latching itself as an economic limpet on the rest of world thanks to it's billion man slave labor force. A force that's already been undercutting and destroying American manufacturing before tiktok, and probably before you were born. Your theoretical has been happening for a half century at this point.
Chill your beans. China was and is subservient to the US because, as you said, they control all of the manufacturing. The dumb, rice farming, smiling chink is wising up to the abuse that the west, all of the west, has dished out.
I'm not talking, in this instance, about widespread manufacturing. I'm talking specifically about the American (and Uk/European) companies that buy a product from China, made by slave labour, for cheap as fuck, and put a ridiculous mark-up on the product for nothing other than sheer greed.
$30 is the cost to make an Iphone, yet Apple sell them for $1500. That's not good, at all. I'm not saying they should make no money, but $1500?! They can fuck off. I would like $99 and would swallow $199, but $1500 on a single item that costs $30 is fucking scandalous.
And it's not just Apple. Nike, Adidas, Disney, all of the worst, overpriced niggercattle slop is made in China with massive mark-ups out of pure greed. Yes, I'm repeating myself because it bears repeating.
Lois vitton bags for $10,000's because they can? Because they've invented a generation of consumerists which are destroying what made the west great. They've bred a race of purchasing locus, ones too dumb to break the cycle, too deep in FOMO to stop buying over-priced, chink-made, american-stamped slop.
If Trump's tariffs - and I disagree with him on exempting electronics for the reasons mentioned above, break the programming and brainwashing on the normies, then that's good for all of us. No more will hyper-capitalists profit off of people. No more will thousands be flushed down the toilet in a needless pursuit for more tat. And, the biggest benefit for all, is no more will these greedy cunt companies excuse pushing anti-consumer policies, like apple forcing upgrades to apps that kill older phones that are physically capable of running those apps, just to push people to buy their over-priced chink-made shit.
If you want to bring manufacturing back to America, you can't do it while these companies operate like they are. You kill these greedy companies by China offering cheaper products, then kill the chinese companies by offering those same products, made at home, with a higher quality standard.
TL;DR Apple et al have used their money and power and influence to kick the ladder away from any real competition. If Trump not only puts that ladder back, but makes it an escalator, then all the better it is for America, Americans and the west.
