There absolutely is a loss of "savoir faire" in the west in every industry China has completely taken over. Furthermore we basically exchanged real growth for credit backed one AKA fake growth, because of all the real jobs moving to China. That's why we have all these housing market crisis. It is something the west will deeply regret 20 years down the road. Business is war, globalism won't change that fact.
- mahyarm 10y agoHeh, you should see the current housing bubble that rages through out china today. The large amounts of fraud, the huge amounts of capital flight, the government backed credit bubbles.
- dfc 10y ago> "savoir faire" I don't understand this phrase. All the definitions i found seem to be about personal behavior. Is there an alternate definition? What are you trying to convey?
- happyslobro 10y ago"know how" in French
- dfc 10y agoIn french is the term restricted to an individual? All of the definitions I found see me to relate to "know how react/behave according to prevailing social rules", eg: "the ability to behave in a correct and confident way in different situations". OP seemed to be referring to technical competency for an entire industry.
- happyslobro 10y agoI've only ever heard it used in the context of an individual, along the lines of "does this guy have the know-how to lead the dev team?".
- dfc 10y agoThank you for indulging my pedantry.
