The scope of which we DEPEND on Chinese products is staggering.
No the scope of what we depend on CHEAP chinese products is staggering. Believe it or not, we can live without a 70 inch Tv, iPhone and electronic sh!t that goes bad in 5 year.
This has absolutely nothing to do with TV’s or the lastest fad phone.
Every single Diesel engine produced in the last 15 years depends on emissions parts made in CHINA. Every manufacturer bar none. What happens when truck lines can’t move freight? We don’t have many warehouses anymore mostly “just in time delivery” meaning there isn’t years worth of needed supplies and parts stored. How long before grocery stores are bare? Three days with no panic buying.
How about your furnace? All the parts are made in CHINA.
How about the auto parts for your car? CHINA
Tires? Mostly CHINA
How about your kitchen appliances? Assembled in the USA…..great!!!……….except it’s made with mostly all parts from………CHINA.
How about most of your clothes? CHINA
Parts for your Caterpillar dozer or loader? Vast majority from the OEM is…….CHINA
Your new faucet for your sink? CHINA
Your medicine? Most of it CHINA
Re-bar for concrete? CHINA
Steel for your new cattle pins? CHINA
Look closely all around you, it’s CHINA trash everywhere.
I can keep going.
I Hate CHINA. I hate cheap junk crap that won’t last and I could write volumes of books about the extend that I have went to in my adult years trying to avoid buying trash CHINESE and ASIAN junk.
I work on Diesel engines and rock crushing equipment, things that have traditionally demanded a higher quality but even the manufactures of them have fallen for the CHINESE cheap trap.
We DEPEND on China crap, period.It’s sad but it’s no less true.
Why do you think Trump had to go at any cost even blatantly stealing a national election. Because “corporate” America and nearly all politicians have ties to…………….CHINA.
