There is NOTHING “low quality” about what’s manufactured in China. Every luxury brand you’ve heard of is either entirely or partially manufactured there. That asshole is messing with global trade in a way that he simply cannot actually comprehend. The ramifications will be dire for many brands.

The minimum wage in China is $1.27. In America it’s $7.25. Just imagine the cost implications for consumers, if all those low payed production line jobs came back to America.

Fun fact: Many manufacturers employee union members and they sure as fuck don’t make minimum wage and they have benefits. So we’re really talking about prison wages of pennies to a few dollars per hour. And how do you think for-profit prisons get filled … www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2017/04...
