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

They don't overproduce, they underconsume.

that is correct

China also does not have a history of pursuing policies that cause fewer people to starve

The problem seems more innately philosophical

China killed over 100 million people pursuing policies

So the notion that a reconsolidated Chinese government is going to suddenly uproot itself for people whose houses they bulldoze is fairytale tier

Yup

ever hear the story of Mao killing the birds?

I have

My point is that your empathetic policy isn't especially empathetic

my point was sorta just you need to do a serious analysis of the problem

Your initial argument was that they were slaves and that it was bad and wrong to support that. The reality though is that if they weren't working there, many of them likely wouldn't be working. The Chinese government would likely not restructure unless there was another large revenue stream and those people would die

and that its sorta dangerous to just say. lets make sweet sweet money cause that's how to stay competitive

That's an oversimplification from someone asking for serious analysis

Oof

Kek

i just said that was one point of the issue

but the biggest point id make is that more profit now might hurt a country down the line

So whats the argument about so we stay in line?

In what way?

Compared to what also?
