That's all irrelevant. When you use robots instead of actual people, you don't need that large manufacturing force - I mean, that many people in direct manufacturing. People will work on robots, yes - but robots will work on products. I'm greatly simplifying, of course, but the current state may mean little when we talk about changes.
- constantcrying 1y agoChina has better robots and is better at utilizing them, since they actually have a large workforce of engineers who do manufacturing. Those engineers do not exist in the US. It is also delusional to think that humans can be replaced by robots, robots are expensive and even right now car manufacturers in Europe, with very high labor costs, can not afford to replace humans with robots. China's advantage is not that their labor is cheaper. It is that they are outclassing the US in engineering, especially automation, and they have a cheaper labor force.
