A viral video showing an army of little orange robots sorting out packages in a warehouse in eastern China is the latest example of how machines are increasingly taking over menial factory work on the mainland. The behind-the-scenes footage of the self-charging robot army in a sorting centre of Chinese delivery powerhouse Shentong (STO) Express was shared on People’s Daily’s social media accounts on Sunday.

This is another reason for tariffs. We need to stop offshoring our factories now so they can be automated HERE and not OVER THERE. It keeps the technical know how in house.
They can house all their robots in their dozens of ghost cities! win-win
They should visit a UPS of FedEx sorting hub where high-speed automated sorting equipment has been sorting millions of parcels per day for years.
Their media is obviously as tech-ignorant has ours.

Pretty much every factory in the USA is 80-90% robot-automated. Sorting is a very simple task and has been automated for decades.
Interestingly, long after they are abandoned or after hours they still have active power and the entire factory can be activated by people who have never been there before. This has been a boon to crime lords and Christopher Walken.

that ship has sailed long ago. Chinese automation is world class.
“Amazing in a country where the average wage is around $900 a month robots are now cheaper.”
Great point. No vacations, Holidays, Sick time, Insurance costs. But a nation of unemployed is a formula for catastrophe. And how does our domestic manufacturing have any hope of being competitive against even $900 a month labor?
Tariff them. That will slow it down or reverse it. What you are saying is it's over and thew world will be slaves to the ChiComs. That is BS.
“But a nation of unemployed is a formula for catastrophe.”
This needs to be more widely recognized. Bread (fast food, EBT cards) and circuses (TV, internet, and computer games) didn’t work and are not going to work. Man needs to work otherwise he adopts all sorts of deviant behaviors that God will not put up with.
I said nothing of the sort. All I said was that their tech is world class. It is you who are putting words in my mouth.
I have worked with their factory automation and have a basis for what I said.
30% Robot Tax Index Fund
Each American receives an equal stipend, a head credit.
CRASH. The crash occurs when the wealthier lobby for a larger cut, and bribe officials. That is how it always happens. Now it is used to undercut competition.
The head credit, it’s value declines, becomes only worth a very low worth, like a homeless person’s daily booze allotment.
The other part of this is that Technology is owned my Amazon. They bought the company that invented those type of bots. I wonder if the Chinese bought a license or just stole the tech? I did not see any mention of Amazon in the article.
