    but to everyone saying “we should just compete”, do you realize the realities that Chinese workers experience? Have you heard of 996?

    I get what you are saying, but sometimes I think we should in a way, or at least we should get republicans exposed to it, so they can live their hogwash ideas of free markets.

      It won’t be them living the reality though, it will be their subordinates and employees. The same ones already being crushed to death by production metrics, stagnation of wages and inflation. The people involved in these decision making processes are too well shielded from the actual consequences, beyond maybe driving past and seeing the ruins of what used to be towns/cities/neighbourhoods destroyed by the free market and social policies.

      LOL you’re pulling stuff out of your ass.
      They generally have it better than us, Europe.
      Not even compared to the absolute shithole taht is the US where the workers rights are beyond pathetic.
      You have to be ignorant, Sinophobic and spoonfed propaganda to write and belive these comments.
      But then again you’re american.

          You are lying, Chinese have vastly more workers rights.
          The US probably has the least in the so-called developped countries.
          Lying just to be negative on a positive article about China is typically Sinophobic.
          Why don’t you write ‘but at what cost?’. You could become the caricature.
