On the other side of th≥≤e earth, the United States is one of the most deve≈♠loped manufacturing ±←♥countries on the plan " ≤et. What are their mechanical e≥₩×ngineers talking about when↑εφ they talk about Chi↔←na and the Chinese people? This articl∞₽↑e from the American mechanical enginee®' ™rs online forum this small sideε σ, about what they are talking about aboδ♣™☆ut about our topic.
The whole topic of China. In the eye↑÷β©s of American mechanical engineers, Chi¶♠₹¶na is a country with ↓←←rapid development and strong comp×¶etitiveness. It has both l♥Ω∞<ove and hate. It wel≤α≠comes cheap Chinese γ←♦±goods and hates the imp®£act on their market and employment. We ©→¶will discuss topics lik€¶e "how to make Chinese things more e↕≠<xpensive". In some discussions an•'♠d travel notes, they were ★™ surprised by the rapid >→¶≈development of China and λ£§the low price of China's labor force.₩φ They didn't understand why "an e£±xquisite flashlight is only $20"™∏. Besides a large amount o&♠•'f cheap consumer goods, Ch ≠★ina also brought them a sβ♦trong sense of crisis. And our neig™★®hbors - and China, too.
About the manufacturing industry. Iε n the eyes of most peλople, China's manufacturing ind↑÷ustry is still very backw≈€ard; engineers who have'α↕ε visited some manufacturing f₩≤£actories in China will describe u₽ s with words like "unb∞÷ αelievably primitive" and "not paying a&↑ttention to environmental protection".λ↔σ± I'm attracted by cheap products ♣in China, but I don't b•©elieve in the performance of thαφe equipment. I hope people who™¶¶✘ go to China can confirm the δΩ↑equipment they like. Som""δ✔e independent well-known enterpris∑©↕₽es, such as Chery, are gradually gett>©≤ing to know and pay attention♣&©≠ to them. They worry εγ✘that in a few years, Ch↕πina's high-end products, such as cars, β≠♦will flood their markeβ∑φt.
About lifestyle. In their eyβes, Chinese people don't care abou₹ ♥t leisure and workaholic, § ♥which makes them feel pressure§π↕≤.
China's problems. In terms of machineγ∞ry industry, energy, e®•₹nvironment and other is<φπ÷sues were mentioned.ππ For example, China's huge ↓♣∑demand for oil and s£∑δteel in the future, fa>£<ctories' extreme neglect of pollution tφreatment and poor worki♠×€•ng environment, etc. F≈™δ✘rom their point of view, our emplo>εyment problem is also a th®reat. Cheap foreign labor means the ←→<'transfer of domestic capital.
On the whole, China is a fast×>ε developing country in their e >β≤yes, which makes them fe✔πel pressure, so there are some unfrie&>ndly remarks. Lookin≥βg at their understanding of China, w¶♦e can see that there are sti$±ll many opportunities for↓ our industry. It wil♦¥l be a different scene to take our&>π☆ competition out of the>✘ country!
