Consumer products say China aagay hae doc……all that stuff in Walmarts and targets and dollar shops. And lately decade or so it’s consumer electronics appliances and cell phones etc.
It’s a great achievement not to belittle them, but I believe the west is enacting protectionism now to chip away at their consumer goods monopoly.
Trump will eventually whittle down their competitive advantage over time and cut them down ta size.
I believe slave outlets like Indonesia or Vietnam will play a big role toward that outcome and it’ll all balance out in the end.
Ye nahi hae k it’s a run away train and China got all da cards.
I believe consumer goods can be manufactured in a good half a dozen countries today and that shift is evident.
All these articles of the demise of the west are just doom n gloom wishful thinking, but China has come a long way and I believe you that today the US and China are economically very close and that too is a reality.
US totally China ko control karta hae and the Chinese dont mind it.
We are frankly in a very bad position now, and have to tread very carefully. The Ukraine war has made matters worse for us, as it has forced Russia and China even closer. Against China, the Russians will not attack us. But they will not help us either. And the US sure as hell will not.
We were always in the Russian camp, all our external exhortations of non-alignment notwithstanding. So much so that NATO veterans, on international fora like WAB have openly confirmed that the US had wargamed nuking India when and if hostilities broke out. Preemptively. One fly, all fly doctrine.
Now we acted oversmart. Being led by very ordinary intellects. And tried to hedge our bets and court the US. No doubt tempted by riches. By "technology" (never mind that the kill switch lies in foreign hands). And I am pretty sure Modi's crony capitalist cronies had a lot to do with this shift.
Now we are no longer having Russia behind us 100%. And the Americans pay lip service, grease the rollers of their MIC, and shaft us when we are about to bugger their pet regional poodle.
