Chinese manufacturing is quickly losing the competitive advantage it used to have a monopoly on. Places like India, Mexico, and Vietnam are poised to compete with Chinese manufacturing in a much more significant way than the CCP has anticipated.

One could say, “Well, the CCP will automate and leverage AI to maintain their current economic positions.”

How? And who exactly would oversee the automation and who would design the AI? The answer is foreigners, western companies. But those foreigners and those companies are fleeing China, for a few different reasons.

The CCP is all about “face” and they’re currently in a “fake it til you make it” mode when it comes to automation and AI.

All this means is that the CCP will only continue to brutalize its workers, depress wages, demand more hours worked and under harsher conditions, lockdowns, etc.
