Innovation is a good thing , so true and competition never hurt any company , but the true fact is China will just steal your ideas as soon as it’s a winner . They do it everyday , 95% of big company’s have sold there soles to them now , the job market is dead and has been for a long time .. multiple jobs is the new world now , very rare to have a job for life like the old days , l do feel sad for those guys loosing there jobs but 2 to 3 hundred being layed of is a small number these days and happens way too often . Yes China and its rip offs is the winner [emoji3]

I wouldn’t make China out to be the big winner we all think they are going to be. Just happens they have a lot of people, who are pretty smart and will work for cheap. They are also pretty good at copying other people’s stuff. Wasn’t that long ago when Japan was in the exact same spot. Then Southeast Asia picked up the mantle for a bit, but then China became the big dog. At some point, the general Chinese citizen will want to make more money as the standard of living increases, all of a sudden they won’t be so cheap anymore, and manufacturing will shift to some other place. Just how it seems to work.

Plenty of really smart people out there, just need the dominos to line up and for someone to come out with a “killer app” drone. Off the self parts, professional quality, consumer pricing, should be interesting to see what happens.

I agree hart , but the China syndrome as l call it , not in history has 1 country held so much of the worlds production , true fact and there are so many of them labour will always be cheap it’s only governing factor is how greedy the exporters will become , You do all realise that this was planned ? , Nostradamus was correct in saying the little yellow man will rule the world . No need for a war there buying us up instead .. well at least in Australia they are .
