While I agree that competition is good for customers, anyone with half a brain knows that there are state subsidies in China which simply does not make it an even competition.
Looking at the responses in this thread it looks like there are quite a few of half brained people or simping drones
Some ppl see consumer goods and i guess its fine thats the most visible part of their export.
But this runs deeper than consumer goods, its whole sale replacement of the value chain from A to Z from local and or european choices to PRC. Machinery, raw material, semi finished components, industrial consumables, tools, jigs, fixtures etc
So when the whole ecosystem has been scorched and its conquered by China and they are now in the position of absolute dominance including setting a price what then?
Again this isnt some company out inovating by introducing a killer IP or a manufacturing company applying something new like JIT or LEAN to gain a competitive edge its literally overproducing and relying on loans, extended supplier credit lines and minimal export rebates and burning up already low to non existent cash reserve to flood the market and hoping the other side dies first.
In some cases its foolish as some of these manufacturers just started and do not enjoy the reserves as some of the bigger conglomerates in this region. Just starting to make money go scorched earth
