Many people are telling you that things are made in China because of the cheap labor price here. I admit that it is one of the reasons, especially for the early days in 1990s when China just reformed and opened to the world, however, it is definitely not the primary reason because, as many people would also say, there are many places where the labor price is much cheaper than that of China.

So what is the primary reason that manufacturers tend to manufacture things in China and procurement managers tend to purchase from China? I think it is because China has a relatively complete industrial system.

As you probably know, the aerospace technology is the representation of a country’s overall strength in industry. China sent its first satellite to the space in 1970. China is one of the few countries that can send people to space. That means China can pretty much make everything that is required in the most complex industrial project that human being ever had.

I am not saying that China has the most advanced technology in the world. It does not. However, a complete industrial system means that it has no apparent shortfall, and that is not something that every country has. With the complete industrial system that can compare with the US, Europe, and Japan, and the cheap labor price that can almost compare with Africa, why wouldn’t you choose to do manufacturing in China?

There are many other advantages that China has:

Millions of well trained industrial workers
Good infrastructure including the high-speed railway system that can reach almost every corner of this vast country, the world’s largest ports, the communication network that covers the most remote area of this country, the huge huge cities that gather tens of millions of people…
Cheap energy
Political stability
Trust me, you may not be able to find another place that is more suitable to do manufacturing than China.

If you live in the US, you are already very privileged compared to many other countries in the world... but nobody seems to want to talk about that. It's always about race or gender within the US.

anyone wanna go to a massive blump rally?

not something you'd want to regret no
@realcaseyrollins

now that aunt jemima is dead, is racism over?

okay maybe kotaku can be good sometimes

I'm feeling more confident about the direction I'm going with the recurring donations platform now. We're building it in Elixir/Phoenix.

Yes it's a huge framework for something small, but it's not like Phoenix consumes a lot of resources, and I want to learn it anyway.

Fuck the client-server API. We're gonna expose like one public endpoint which Soapbox FE will use to display the funding bar, and the rest will happen through low-tech rendered pages. The user will OAuth into it. Maybe I can even pass a key to it the way PleromaFE allows auth into AdminFE.

Yes, we're going the full HYDRA route. Thank you Rob for the inspiration.

As a bonus, this platform should probably work fine with Mastodon too. You just won't get the funding bar in the GUI. I'm basically rebuilding fosspay in Elixir but with automated tests, OAuth login from fediverse accounts, and some Soapbox FE integration. Give me two weeks. Would be amazing if I can do this even before July.
