      @@oktaykingofthedragon6977Hhhh you are so ignorant , go see how a ship is built , the tolerances , the quality of welding , etc. China received 3450 foreign orders to build all kinds of ships – LNG , container, car carriers ,cruise liners… You think they allow shabby quality lol. You think they don’t have inspection officers, you think you can survive in shipbuilding if you don’t meet international standards. Go read more pls and stop making stupid comments. Don’t even know what you are talking abt.
      Then you mention cars , you haven’t even seen or tested a top EV from China and you talk as if you know them all personally lol. Please don’t insult my intelligence. I live in China and I see them close. Even the CEO of Ford says they make far superior cars than the West and here you are smarter than the CEO of Ford Jim Farley. He was so impressed he shipped one back to US to be his daily driver. They are also taking them apart to learn from the Chinese. Here you are the car specialist lol. Pls.

      @@robertwang7825 maybe China is good ,but If the US manufactures a crane, rest assured it will be 100% stronger and more durable than China’s. China is an overpopulated country. They focus on quantity over quality, simply producing and selling. This is how their economy grows. In the US, on the other hand, quality is paramount.
      so,you can’t compare a product from The USA or Germany to a Chinese one in terms of quality.

      ⁠​⁠@@oktaykingofthedragon6977This kind of thinking is the China 25-30 yrs. ago. You seem to forget China has been making 200M IPhones in 2 factories for 17 yrs now ( also IPads, MacBooks ) and Tesla has a giga factory in Shanghai and it’s the most productive ( according to Elon ). You should listen to Tim Cook, Elon, Bill Gates, Jim Farley, etc comments on China production expertise.
      It’s also a fact that many things exported to the US are for big stores like WalMart, Target etc. and their target is price and volume ( to maximize profit ). China makes more than that and have way better quality at higher prices.
      Recently it was revealed that China makes clothing ,bags for the European labels of Dior, LV , Gucci etc and then sent to EU to do the final stage in order to comply with – Made in Italy by EU law. Or that the steel block for Rolex watches etc were made in China then sent to Switzerland. A lot of hifi brands – Kef, Bowers & Wilkins , etc. are all made in China. China makes alot of things , it’s just the premium brands prefer the consumer not know lol. So it is a misconception today China is a volume producer of cheap goods.
      Many of the car parts for Audi , Cadillac , Mercedes etc. are all coming from China lol. All the permanent magnets used in anything from defense , weapons, radars etc. are all made in China. All components for drones and robots come from China.All the penicillin in American hospitals come from China (and many other drugs too ). So your thinking abt China is outdated I’m afraid.
      And to be honest US can’t produce anything these days because there is a lack of tooling engineers , welders , electricians, building engineers, – just look at the LA to San Fran high speed rail line US33B budget is now US128B and still climbing , delayed by over a decade and still not finish. The same for the Arleigh class Navy ship which had to be built in Italy and refurbished several times. The US today is not the US in WW2.

    Even with ALL the investment and govt initiatives and assuming China doesn’t expand their shipyards from today ( which is hopeful thinking ) , in 10 years US will only reach 1% of China’s capacity , assuming you have enough welders, electricians, fabricators, steel , energy and say you do exceptionally well and reach 2% is that a big step forward? Today US is maybe 0.1% China.
