When I was in my auto parts business, I ONLY worked with American manufacturers. Of course, my competition took my parts, and sent them to china to be copied. And the parts were always sub standard... but everything I sold, was American made. I gave money to 5 different companies, in the process of producing a product.
We sold China all of our machines, including the machines to make more machines. We screwed ourselves over, royally. Which is why I don't feel that bad that this is happening ( aside from people dying, I mean), because it might actually wake people up. The entire worlds economy is connected to one corrupt communist country... it's ridiculous.

This is a myth. The west made trillions of dollars on the back of cheap Chinese labor.
Now that the Chinese are taking matters into their own hands, the west is pissed off
Trillions of tax dollars have been spent on endless wars to make the pockets of certain companies/individuals thicker and deeper
The criminal tax rates imposed on you and your business are the problem that is hindering your growth, not China | | The Following User Says Thank You to walkingupwards For This Useful Post: | | |

Nahhh, most of my shiit is locally sourced.

The criminal tax rates imposed on you and your business are the problem that is hindering your growth, not China  | low import fees, and China taxing the hell out of anything we try to export there, is among the many things hindering growth.
lol it's cute that you're cheer-leading for China tho. I doubt they care or need your help. You're full of nonsense. Dealing with China, has destroyed Americas manufacturing capabilities. To honestly try to claim, that we wouldn't have been better off if we kept producing and exporting products, is laughable.
You sound like the type of people that claim slavery actually helped our growth, when if we avoided slavery, we would have advanced decades faster than we did. Just as we are currently stagnating, and are at the whims of China. We we would have made WAY more if we didn't make money on cheap Chinese labor.

I would never cheer lead for China!! I was just laying some hardcore facts about why China is not to blame for everything
Btw, China is decades behind the US in terms of advanced manufacturing, so saying the US is at the whims of China is laughable | |

We don't have the capability! We sold our machines to China. You clearly have zero actual knowledge of manufacturing. I have first hand knowledge. We are not able to produce what we'd need to produce, if China decided to screw us over. So yes, we are at the whims of China. So are quite a lot of countries.

At the whims of China BY WILL!! America has all the resources to manufacture anything that China produces, but due to economics manufacturing was relocated to China.
Huawei is dying because of American sanctions, they don't know how to make the chips needed to power their smartphones, let along the operating system
I am not exaggerating when I say China is decades behind  They just happen to have an edge because of cheap slave labor with which they lured all these western companies | | The Following User Says Thank You to walkingupwards For This Useful Post: | | |

You do realize Huawei is an international brand, and most of their sales are domestic, and in other countries? Not so much in the USA? I know someone closely affiliated with the company, they will thrive. I'm sure they will eventually figure out how to get around Google's sanctions, but it will take a while.
Not really advocating for them, just shedding some light. People really look down on China because of personal issues against the country. As much as we might despise their communistic ideals, and their ways of handling life threatening issues, let's not negate the fact that what they have done in the past 100 years is freaking ridiculous. They technically own the world at the moment, since cash rules everything around us, and they are the hub for 1st world countries to make that cash.
Sorry for the rant, my knowledge is limited, but we can't ignore the facts. Carry on. Quote:

I placed an order with my supplier last weekend, sales guys are working from home, factory have 20% working at the moment. Due an update tomorrow, use DHL as courier so it can be shipped with no issues. My goods are available in UK, but at least twice the price.

like you, I am clueless about what the future holds for them, but the outlook is, according to many, potentially pretty bleak.

My shipping agent told me they already returned to work 2 weeks ago, and I heard that the shipments handled by post office will be delayed, DHL might be (or not) slightly delayed.
