The US had better get busy….our gutted manufacturing base is not even close to China. Don’t think for one minute the Chinese aren’t applying their advanced robotic technology to their military. The tide is turning.

Robots arrived in time to work at operational plants across the ocean in China.

30 Year old infrastructure gone long under used probably doesn’t have the base to build up to domestic demands. But you have to start somewhere.

I would urge folks to look at videos out of Russia. They have robots doing everything in Moscow. It makes us here in the US look old.

We have quite a lot. China likes to throw out unique widgets and prance around how great it is let alone it actually works as advertised. Chinese media is more directly linked to the government then American democrat media. Not to mention a lot of the time it doesn’t work. Look up Chinese remote control tractors and tofu construction.

The Chinese Communist Party is full of Robot Droppings

Yes! We MUST look to Russia for the latest in how to run a country!

Whats the average life span in Russia? Have they broken 60 yet? (Not for young men, thats for certain!)

" It makes us here in the US look old."

What about the quality assurances from Russia and China? Making stuff quickly and efficiently doesn't always equal quality.

When the government makes all the decisions for the economy, including manufacturing and what technology is going to be used, it’s a lot easier to get the robotics and AI to get the job(s) done.

The U.S. and Europe don’t have that same kind of dictatorial power.

But, China may be in a bind, since so much manufacturing is being brought back to America and the facilities which China built may turn out to be overkill.

When it comes to AI, the U.S. is still far ahead of China. And when it comes to robotics, the U.Sl leads in that technology front too; China has just implemented more of it than the U.S. or Europe.

But, I’ll hand it to them: they know how to steal and copy and implement what they’ve stolen from other countries, especially from the U.S.

China is becoming a social experiment - What happens to humans when all the jobs are done by robots?

An earlier experiment - One child policy. Legal abortion. The Chinese prefer boy babies so girl babies were aborted. Fast forward a few years you have a situation where there are more men then women. This has not completely played out so we don’t have results.

Now add to the mix, millions of jobless men...

What is China going to do?

The Chinese government owns all means of production in China.

Compaerd to here, where we don't make it at all?

Just saying. We could leverage tech in ways looking at lots of nations.

How long until the massive AI presence in the Chinese manufacturing infrastructure stages a revolt, and takes over all the governance of the CCP?

Skynet even now is being assembled.

Sounds like a recipe for China to have a bunch of expendable men to use in war. China's war won't be for oil or land. It'll be for women. LOL

Here's an article discussing similar issues, albeit more at the human-controlled, precision manufacturing niche. Ultimately, this stuff will be handed off to the robots too (some of it is probably already CNC machined).

Have a look... just be ready for a bit of tariff-related whining sprinkled in with the dry British humor.

Please call me Marty.

I run the ArmstrongEconomics scam site.

The worth of my advice can be measured by my three bankruptcies and losing over $700,000,000 of my clients' funds in bad trades.

That failed ponzi scheme got me eleven years in the federal pen.
