Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone think Western countries/companies will move supply chains out of China?

Don't even go there. I have been in IT for 40 years, I have never ever seen a Chinee that can code .

I have.

How big a sample size did you deal with?

Never happen. Chinese labor is far too cheap. And will only get cheaper with this.

Trump has cut a lot of govt crap and red tape designed to run cos out of the US. Hes fixing to cut more.

There is always another China. Ask the Japs

Price of doing business there has really gone up plus you lose intellectual properties. Vietnam is cheaper as is probably India.

Old elk you are correct in the abilities of the Indian people. A large very well educated under employed group of people. Don’t think for one minute our companies aren’t drooling to expand there. Trump is going to use them to cock block the Chinese. And the Indians are more than willing to grab the opportunities.

I will go there hossfly. I worked with many to the point of all of it being done in-house.

Ya reckon them Chinese hackers are hiring Indians and Pakistanis to do their international hacking for them ? What say ?

You know not of what you speak concerning those folks. But I will say that the Indians and Pakis are stellar at it.

Most all third world nations’ people are more than willing to grab first world opportunities.

Jus sayin.

3.

But it's still a whole number greater than zero.

One might ask you the same and at what locations and for what duration.

Your sample size appears to be micro in scope.

LOL. You lost your argument right there. Hackers LMFAO

DumbAZZ look at the development teams of Google,Apple and any other large software company and count the Indians on their development staff vs Chinese. Go ahead and get back to me. You do not know who you are arguing with HOSSFLY.

How would you know ?

What languages were they fluent in ? How long ago and for what application?

I’m back to you,
Google, Apple, etc. you reckon that security is an issue with the Chinese maybe and as it applies to visas, intellectual security?

Doesn’t mean that the Chinese can’t do the job or are not capable. Put another way you don’t know what you don’t know and that’s being kind.

Yours is a very small view. I do know that I’m arguing with a pompous assed know it all red neck.

nerd alert

Could be. Could well be.

I

Thats why they steal our intellectual property and technology because they are smarter then us? Eh?

You have no idea of who you are arguing with , no idea of my qualifications or experiences to make the statements I have made but I am spot on and you are dead wrong.


You best STFU and listen and stop typing.

Low labor cost production has been fleeing China for more than 5 years as labor costs in China started escalating. Textiles, shoes, that sort of stuff started moving to "new" cheap labor areas such as Bangladesh and Vietnam.

The tariffs introduced a level of uncertainty into the supply chains that nobody had ever accounted for in their production costing spreadsheets. Now this corona thing. Two black swan events in less than two years.

The move to China, 30 years ago, started with some low costs manufacturers, and then it became fashionable. It would not surprise me if the new fashion will become "supply chain hardening", where companies no longer allow any country (or even region) to dominate / control their supply chain. It would be the logical strategic next "in" thing to do.
