  Also a completely integrated local and low-cost supply chain, unlimited access to cheap physical labour and an incredible government overreach to ensure every company is towing the same line.

  To further note:

  Low cost still doesn’t mean cheap

    If you mean incredible as in incredibly good, then yes.

      It’s a similar reach that a certain loud orange man is trying to instill E.g.. As long as it doesn’t directly negatively impact your life, you probably won’t notice too much.

        Oh? Is the orange man building nuclear plants and high speed rail at a rapid pace and for super cheap?

        No? Then can you explain to me why this comment is relevant at all? I’m aware that China has shitty policies in regards to some minorities, but are insinuating that’s the reason they’re able to build infrastructure so quickly?

        No? Then who is being oppressed when companies are forced to “tow the line” and complete a project quickly instead of stopping to sue each other and/or the state constantly like they do in North American? Am I supposed to feel bad for Guangxi LiuGong Machinery Co? Is China Energy Engineering Corp Ltd crying in the corner?
