China has better industrial capacity, and can produce high quality goods for lower prices because of this.

The Europeans are now finding out that they're unable to produce things domestically that their people need, and have become entirely reliant on US energy exports and military protection. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FunkyStuff@lemmy.ml 31 points 7 months ago The goods produced in China are cheap because Western economies made a bet that they'd come out ahead by moving their capital out of their own economies and into China. China won the bet instead of them and now has more productive capacity than the West. Why is it China's fault that the West had poor foresight and deindustrialized itself in exchange for short term profits? Should Chinese workers have remained poor forever instead of benefiting from Western investments? permalink fedilink source parent [–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 21 points 7 months ago China isn't forcing anybody to buy their goods at gunpoint last I checked. The fact that western markets are unable to produce comparable goods at the same prices is entirely the problem with the way western economies are structured. The whole premise for loosely regulated markets was that they were supposed to be more efficient than state planning, turns out that was a big fat lie. So now the dumb fucks in the west are crying that their failed economic model can't compete with China.
