Workers in China do what they’re told and don’t complain. That’s where they got us.
RE: Why don’t you list all the defective and deadly products that have come out of China?
My first opinion is this -— IT IS DANGEROUS TO DEPEND ON ONE COUNTRY CONTROLLED BY A TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT WHICH CAN SEIZE PRODUCTION ANYTIME IT WANTS FOR YOUR SOLE SUPPLY.
Having said that,I question your above premise.
Yes, China makes defective and deadly products... but you are assuming that ALL products, like the iPhone are of poor quality and Apple Execs with tolerate shoddy worksmanship. If so, explain to me why people all over the world are still buying Apple’s iPhones. The market decides and they tell us that at least in this one product — Smart Phones from Apple, China’s worksmanship is NOT shoddy at all.
It sounds China-approved.
As far as I can tell it’s made in South Korea. I’d have to look at the box it came in and obviously I don’t have it now.
I think you’re confusing software with assembly pf the hardware.
The skilled workers are in China because that is where the jobs are.
I was talking with a friend last year and he was saying that it was cheaper for his company to hire up a team of electrical engineers in Spain than it was for them to do it in Shenzen. also, the ones in Shenzen are more likely to job hop. China has enormous production capabilities and are no longer the cheap labor express.
And so we pay China to develop state of the art engineering and manufacturing capabilities deployed in China rather than the US. And it’s cheap. It’s win-win.
naw....I'll reserve my opinion of the "quality of people" in China...
RE: In the U.S., you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I’m not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields
I question this premise. If we are able to manufacture sophisticated cars and planes here in the USA with all the intricate computerized chips that go into these vehicles, why would Tim Cook say that we can’t fill a room for tooling engineers?
This man’s statement is not only a super exaggeration, it is FALSE.
“While we’re on the subject, I was watching a TV ad for masks the other day. The was an American flag at the bottom of the screen. And next to the flag, in large letters: “Shipped from our warehouse in the United States.” “
While looking high and low for American made masks, I encountered also the “shipped from our warehouse’ and knew that was key for made in China. I finally found American made masks manufactured in Texas. Sadly in Austin but still USA made.

This article isn’t talking about Engineers, it’s talking about TOOLING and ASSEMBLY.
I also hate it when people post articles without a comment. The initial comment tells me why they posted it, and often helps me decide if it's worth reading or not. It also inhibits people from just posting article after article all day.
I see that all the time. Unfair advertising.
It’s more than the money. It’s treason. It’s the Bush doctrine, Trilateralist, Globalist, that props up a third-world commie regime. It gives them technology to compete with the US, gives them money to build a military, and in turn, causes our military-industrial complex to ramp up, i.e., big $$.
Who funded Hitler? Who funded Lenin? Now who funds Mao? Brought to you by your iPhone.
They can always outsource for ‘better’ labor and costs overseas. There simply isn't a need for companies to care about their ‘home’ country anymore.
Apple and other companies are free to criticize and push for change in America, put leave out such concerns for China and their abuses. But, it's not like America cares. The US has constantly said China puts people in camps and cheats on currencies and IP, but we still are keeping our new trade deals. Nuts.
Well, if you send all of your manufacturing capabilities to China, don’t be surprised that in a generation China has people trained to work in such environments and the US does not.
Mmmm yeah...and they install tracking and intel harvesting capabilities....
If you want on or off the Apple/Mac/iOS Ping List, Freepmail me.
perhaps it is true in his industry
