This has been going around, let me explain as a manufacturing guy what you are seeing:
Economic 5th Generation Warfare
That is 100% what this is. The CCP subsidizes every aspect of these operations with the express intent of destroying America’s prototype and production infrastructure. If you are a US startup- why would you boot up a model shop or use your local machine shop when you can just send all your IP to China and get parts back in a week for 1/10th the cost?
If the US Government would: - Let me buy CNC equipment for 1/4th the price - Give me a building - Sell me raw material for 25% the global commodity price - Subsidize my workforce - Offer zero repercussions for pirating the most advanced Western CAD/CAM/FAE tools - Have zero environment, safety, employment regulations - Offer me a postal service that did FedEx international shipping for 5% the FedEx cost
Give me all of that and you bet your ass I can build you tiny bullshit turbines for $0.75. Sounds like a nice hour long programming/setup project!
Do not be fooled by any of this- this is not Chinese engineers (who are *very* good!) competing against us- this is the Chinese government looking to put a significant percentage of America’s manufacturing base into the ground.
