I guess it's cheaper to hire workers in China, but also cheaper to have automated machines running in China and have the Chinese build those machines.

- jamarks13 4y agodefinitely safer to have industrial automation systems running as well!
- LeanderK 4y agoI can imagine that China also has massive infrastructure and a manufacturing environment built up over the last years that may become increasingly hard to replicate in the US. I bet there some "critical mass" for high-volume manufacturing that's needed, if you don't count subsidies. Even if it's all robots, you still need suppliers etc.
