Just stop trading manufactured products with Asia.

Their people are still transitioning from agrarian hardship to urban factory life, and there seems to be a zeal that comes with this transition, a willingness to work hard for what here today would be considered little.

Good for them. But in Europe we had this transition already and we became disillusioned with the lifestyle tradeoffs.

Having our people do nothing productive while all of our life objects are made by others is not sustainable and it is awful for the morale of our peoples. It needs to be stopped.

forcing germans to buy everything at 10 times of what it costs now is not the way to rescue the country

You don't find hordes of Chinese peasants in their dark factories.

Do you think that JLCPCB offer such prices because they have 2000000 lowly paid machinists drilling the pcb holes manually? China invests in all kinds of automation like crazy
