A reply to the West on why China decided to go its own way:
You did keep their economy going
Yet they also kept your economy going much more than you did
They produced a Fifteen Dollar Chair that you sold in your retail outlets for Fifty Five Dollars
Your Retailers made Eighteen Bucks
Your Distributors made Ten Bucks
Your Importer made Twelve Bucks
Your Taxman made Three Fifty
The Chinese Factory made Four Bucks!!!
You guys made more than Forty Bucks out the Transaction
It’s why you loved China and the Chinese
They were your tame Coolies
Rather than make something for Forty Five Bucks in Cleveland or Gary and sell them for Sixty Five Bucks with a barely Six Dollar Margin – You decided to move to China and increase your profits
You were happy because you made profits
Your Citizens were happy because they got good stuff at affordable prices
It was basically another form of Colonialism that you called “Opportunities”
When any Nation demanded more than Four Bucks for that Chair – you called them Socialist and claimed they had Labor Problems
You loved it when they paid $ 4.50 for a product that cost you Ninety Cents to create
They had a Billion People
You loved it when they guzzled your food at 500% markup or when they paid you 250% profits for your branded products that THEY MADE AT A SEVENTH THE PRICE IT WOULD HAVE COST YOU STATESIDE
They were your buddies after all
You flooded your brands and IP and made them pay through their nose
And you loved them for it
Then they changed
They started selling their own products in their markets that were better than your products and at a third the price
They made their own products with their own IPs and no longer paid through the nose
They started bringing their own brands to compete with yours and share the gravy but at a much fairer or competitive price
So while you happily sold your brands in their country and earned 250% profit, you refuse to sell their brands in your country and give them 50% Profit
You sold, flooded your cars in their country making Eighty Five Dollars for every Hundred and giving them a paltry Fifteen Dollars for making those cars citing IP and Proprietary Fees and Brand Payments
Now when they do a tenth of that, to make a larger share in the sale of their cars in your country, you refuse to do that and scream “Subsidies”, “ State Sponsored”, “National Security”
And Taiwan?
You boldly weaponize Taiwan and foster separatism
Yet if China supplied 10 D Grade Rockets to Lebanon to defend themselves, you would scream and bring the entire world down
Now you are Scared!!
They will buy their own products now
They will buy their own brands
They will buy your brands of course BUT AT A FAIR PRICE and not just for the Brand
And they will compete with you in every Global market where you cannot use excuses to keep them out
So with all this in mind
Tell me exactly HOW THE CHINESE ARE AGAINST THE WEST?
It’s looks to be the case where you took advantage of a country and now are pissed off because the country has learned and is competing with you and doing better isn’t it?
