    Sure, but it does cost that much to build a suite of factories complete w/ automation and whatnot. Buildings are expensive, especially high tech ones, but that doesn’t mean the labor involved is particularly high skill. Components, processes, software, etc are still largely designed by highly skilled workers in western countries.

    Yes, there are some skilled jobs there, but the ratio is much lower for the employees in China than domestically.

      You can just keep repeating the same thing over and over again despite it being wrong…

      Doesn’t make it true tho, just makes other people eventually stop responding
