The minimum wage in China for full time workers per month is 2200 Yuan, ($320 dollars). 20 working days in a month brings it down to $16 dollars a day. Now if you can find anyone in America willing to work for that little let me know! This is why China will always have everyone beat with manufacturing.

Sig - just ignored you tovarish
Well you didn't, actually, because if you had I couldn't see your post!
You can either back up what you say or you can run away when you get called on it. In this case you can't even figure out how to run away properly, apparently.
I'm sticking to injecting bleach and light. If you got lightbulbs inside you, and plug your finger into a socket, the light will clearify you from the inside out.
At least that's what the doctor said on TV.
I gather those that "don't believe it" will refuse to take it if it works. right?

No we will NEVER be able to get our cost of manufacturing down below what can be offered by the Chinese unless maybe we go for full robotics and kill off the excess population of China to equal to that of the US otherwise we will never be able to produce anything cheaper than them. Just with the sheer number of their population, they will ALWAYS be able to have the economies of scale of producing things cheaper than us.
No what we have to do is be able to produce our goods at a sustainable cost that is affordable by the income level of the majority of North Americans and for an amount that can satisfy our population's needs, that would be fine and enough. We don't really need to consume ten thousand shirts if five thousand is enough. More is not better and less really is more. This is what people need to realize and are willing to embrace because that would entail a complete change of lifestyle that all of us have been used to for a long time, this entrenched materialism and consumerism in our culture that China is taking advantage of.
Yeah, that's basically what I said. Until we Americans stop with the runaway consumerism that has driven the foreign manufacturers' economies since the 1980s, they will always have the upper-hand.
Oh, and then there is the cost of labor, and how expensive it really is to live in the US. That's one reason our workers need to earn so much...So they can afford to live a basic life.
That's NOT due to any possibility of a vaccine, @xandman, let's be clear on that. The relative containment of the pandemic to the city of Wuhan is really due to extremely efficient and effective execution of a lockdown system and comprehensive surveillance system coupled with a largely more introvert population. You are talking about a society that police brutality does not exist and nobody's lives matter only the country's, a society where neighbours can install surveillance CCTV cameras directed at your door to monitor you 24/7 to make sure if you are complying with mandatory isolation orders, a society where neighbourhood associations get informed by the hospital directly of your medical situation and have the power to enforce your quarantine orders and give you a cord and a basket for you to bring down your daily garbage through your windows because you are not even allowed to get out of your living quarters to take out your garbage.
Half of the things that go on over there would be considered illegal and/or be grounds for a lawsuit in here but they can achieve anything they want. It's just that you won't be that happy living there even when they achieved what they wanted.
So ultimately it really comes down to one choice: You want to be comfortable but miserable or you want to be miserable but comfortable?
