Have you used cash only Chinese contractors or services? They're at 15 to 20% cheaper than competitors in general. I recently got the walls of my townhouse painted light pink (don't ask, finacee forced me). Most contractors quoted me for $5000, and the Chinese dude offered $3500. Guess which one I'm gonna go with as a consumer?
The whole "buy American (or whatever nationality you are)" appeal to patriotism ultimately pales in comparison with economic forces. If economic nationalism worked, small manufacturing would have returned to US long time ago. China developed great infrastructure, education and supply chain for their manufacturing. If Murica wants to compete, it needs to revitalize its education and infrastructure, not to mention ending the current political chaos.
Yes it seems China is winning the capitalism game by offering cheaper alternatives they will surely dominate Asia soon I think within 2 years and in 4 years will match the USA in global dominance and will surpass it in 7 years the Chinese century is upon us.
I hope get petitioned by my daddy! So I can move to the USA from there I can cross the border to Canada!
