I used to hang out with some engineering types. They one guy talked about going to a Chinese factory that would use the machine tools to make tractor parts or whatever for themselves. They would run off however many the company ordered, then make a bunch for themselves. It got to be an issue when the parent company stopped using them and the factory wanted more tools so they could keep making them for domestic markets, or other markets. There was some vaguely technical explanation like that but the memories are kind of hazy.
Given that I have second hand knowledge of reasonable providence about just this thing. I could not even begin to care in the slightest. I am glad they are selling cheaper replacement parts to farmers for their tractors. I am glad they are under cutting the western company at their own game. Nothing of value is lost. No one is hurt. The world is better.
Yeah, when I stopped smoking I used ecigs and got pretty into researching what kind of equipment was out there, and exactly this—companies would use Chinese firms for manufacture, and they’d just manufacture and sell their own versions.
I never gave a shit cause I didn’t have a ton of money.
Also fasttech is a cool site for cheap electronics if you can wait a few weeks for shipping
China making cut rate parts to sell to africa or on ebay isn't the problem if you are a guy in western manufacturing at a company that has already out sourced.
No matter what the bosses are taking theirs and fighting people who have even less isn't gonna make any sitatuon better
They are gonna replace you with someone from china anyway soon enough. That is the fate of all workers. Nickle and dimeing people in the third world isn't gonna fix that.
Shit, my job is one tax loophole away from being eliminated. So any time a senator gets bored I could be gone. That is what it means to be a worker.

Yeah just cutting out one of the many useless middle men between manufacturing to sales legitimately does rules lol
