Chinese don’t have labor laws. It makes it easy to suppress wages, curtail benefits and have extremely stressful conditions in the name of “nation building”. All big cities in the US are heavily democratic and most have fairly solid Union representation. You could partner with unions and universities to achieve those goals. But most corporations and unions look at each other in adversarial terms not collaborative. So, until that mindset changes you have the flyover state job creation. Those are the only places where corporations can get the labor price points and control they desire. Either way there is no way the west is going to be able to match Chinese prices with existing labor laws. I’m not advocating against unions. I’m saying the west needs to add tariffs on Chinese goods to account for disparity in labor laws and protect its workforce.
