that's a chinese problem not mine

and yes

Do they matter less than Europeans?

I don't live in Europe either

im not saying that

im just saying that if I was in the EU

id take care of EU ppls first

EU has labour laws. Minimum wage

for all countries?

It will always cost considerably more

Are you seriously arguing that China couldn't produce for its own domestic consumption if the US export market dries up?

not me

I think Beemann is.

Cost of living is also higher

I'm saying China would not produce as much as it does for domestic usage

and we need not be melodramatic. The avg Russian makes less than the Avg Chinese person

Which means you're cutting down on jobs

Russia isn't EU

neither is China

And as far as I'm aware every EU nation has min wage

You advocated moving labour to the EU

Why would an EU citizen want to outsource to Russia instead of China?

they wouldn't

Uh, China has 1.6 billion domestic consumers.

Rus. has terrible infrastructure

China currently produces for itself and multiple other countries

X > X-Y

I'd also point out that the people working in sweatshops aren't exactly going to pick up the slack on consumption

I'm arguing for the defense of EU citizens though

C+NX > C is obvious but beside the point. It's up to China to decide how quickly it shifts NX into C.

Make sweatshops Nike again.

>you have enough factories to produce for multiple other consumer states, including some of the richest nations on the planet
>lol make that up with your own population alone, including the people you pay poorly

@m1 Why do EU citizens matter more

It sounds like a new mandate to grow a consumption-based economy would make sweatshop labor untenable in China. What's not to like about that situation?

Than Chinese?

>would make sweatshop labour untenable
How so? They can't trade with you and now need to produce less. People will just starve

The Chinese should act in their best interests same with the Europeans

i agree

No, they need to grow to produce more for their own people. The same way the West did a century ago.

They are just in the middle class trap

>they will need to produce more for their own people
They *overproduce*. That's why they can sell shit off
