>chink gear literally on par with high end gears>despite being cheaper>also functions the same and have the same NIR compliance At this point, high end gear companies are simply ripping the government off and people are also too stupid to buy high end gear at their current price when there are better alternatives to it that functions the same. Not sure why they keep getting contracts. Although I do see federal agents starting to wear airsoft knock offs of cryes.
>>64384385Yes where do you think most companies source their shit from? Same reason Holosun will probably be on every bugs rifle in the war too. People can't resist cheap shit (I am no better).
>>64384385I own both cryes and chink airsoft shit. Airsoft shit functions better than cryes for some reason in my experience despite it being around $70. Even regular army shit like the IHWCU and ACU are better in my opinion. Overrated gear in my opinion while serving. Practically the SUPREME of the gear market.
>At this point, high end gear companies are simply ripping the government off and people are also too stupid to buy high end gear at their current price when there are better alternatives to it that functions the same.Well, that and they're paying for American labor, sometimes by choice but mostly for berry compliance. If we used Uighur slaves who sewed for 14 hours a day under threat of death, we could probably make 80 dollar cryes too. But unfortunately crye employs people from Brooklyn where the average rent is 3k, so the end product costs more.
People say that China gave up on communism. This isn't completely true.Chinese geopolitical thinking remains strictly based on communism with Chinese characteristics. Capitalistic means were adapted as a means to an end.They've obviously seized the means of production, and now they aim to ally themselves with the working class of the world.That's right, if you work a 9 to 5, China wants you to succeed and join their vision - where success isn't measured by joining the ownership class through permanent pension/investment pumping, but by having a higher quality of life through productivity, and by lifting the underclass (a growing population in North America) out of poverty.Case in point, they do this by proliferating luxury goods at cheap prices.By maneuvering their industrial base to lower the cost of high end items (by any means necessary, including industrial espionage), they ensure the workers of the world have top tier quality goods for their toil.>B-but they collapsed American companies to do thisAmerican capitalist companies have the end goal of charging and making more money, not making more goods available to better everyone's life.Look at how even their government is now charging tariffs on their own people to make more government revenue, while China spends subsidies to ensure better infrastructure for making more stuff.Americans didn't want to make your stuff, don't want to make your stuff, and will not make your stuff.
>>64384385Most "Made in USA" products were manufactured in China, then brought to the US where they were "modified".Crye IS chink shit
>>64384447>American laborAnon, sometimes they still outsource that shit to Honduras or El Salvador and they still up charge to the heavens. “American made” is a scam even by berry compliance.
>>64384395>Same reason Holosun will probably be on every bugs rifle in the war too. People can't resist cheap shit (I am no better).I will defend chinksun over trijicon after using both the RMR and 509t. Unironically a better sight in every regard.Verdict is out on the RMRHD, but honestly I'm not spending $800 dollarydoos on a triji product anymore.Maybe aimpoint will finally get it right some day.
>>64384453>That's right, if you work a 9 to 5, China wants you to succeed and join their visionI aint working no 996 sweatshop job in a surveillance state shithole where I can't own guns no thanks.
>>64384447Cheap labor is the foundation of cheap low end goods, not cheap high end goods.Once you get into high end manufacturing (cars for example), you quickly find out that assisted assembly has dropped in price and depends just as much on energy pricing and material availability as it does on actual labor.The problem is that you need reliable infrastructure like energy, machines, internet connection and transportation to lessen labor, none of which is available in America.Instead, the money printer covers the military, Medicaid, and corporate investments that go straight into dividends.The senators all brag when they manage to stretch a supply chain into their state, as opposed to having actual productivity.Even these national priority projects come out shoddy. The weapons that end up being made have a supply chain that can be very much interfered with across a widespread geographic area - America's natural physical barriers is the only reason it hasn't gotten exploited.
>>64384385>IIT: two chinkslop shills samefag and talk to each other.
>>64384482China lacks a proper middle class because it needs its population to work low wages in factories. Its going to have major Japan syndrome in the coming years as the younger Chinese will want comfy office jobs and all of a sudden Chinese labor will cost too much.
>>643844709-9-6 is meant for inner city office jobs. It's a means to avoid the mesh network problem of communication.The pencil pushers are meant to be miserable, not off enjoying the fruits of labourers.Does it not seem odd to you that worker protections meant for factory workers now extend to office workers, while your blue collar professionals are asked for constant overtime?
>>64384385>Not sure why they keep getting contracts.They know. This retardation is why the US Army cut Crye contracts and made their own pattern of pants.
>>64384505Chinese construction workers work 60-80 hours a week and don't even get paid consistently.
In the case of a very rare possibility that the inhumans in this thread can actually read and understand English:All you're doing is hardening my decision to feel nothing when I shoot communists, at home and abroad, in the inevitable coming global war. I don't care about your inhuman life, your families, your people as a whole.Just keep on lying. Just keep doing it. I beg of you to not stop. Keep up with the bullshit, the lies, the low IQ attempts at manipulation.I don't even get angry or disappointed anymore. Every word you choose to post only solidifies further my understanding that you need to die for the betterment of humanity.Xi Jinping is a stupid bitch and the Chinese will find out, yet again, that they are nothing but the mud we wipe from our boots.
lol west taiwan construction.
>>64384507Crye still gets contracts, they just don’t have a hand in making ACUs anymore. But they still receive contracts for SOF and maybe for regular troops because they can’t live without it for some reason. High end gear companies always have a connection to still receive money unfortunately
>>64384514>I'm gonna kill all the chingchongs!It's odd.Faust took the bargain with Mephistopheles, then preserved his eternal soul by realizing his folly.This is called fiction.Do you see America having learned anything from all of this? Are the people around you genuinely willing to work for their future?Will you be going to war alongside these people?
>>64384514you ain't shootin' anyone gweilo. what is getting shot thought is the anegrican economy, 2.3 trillion dollars gone in less than 24 hours. now beg for those rare earths you timmy can't mine neither in your homeland nor abroad in one of your puppet states.next time behave and don't play trade wars with your schlomoberg promise-based economy.
>>64384543Ok commie.
>>64384447>much cheap laborChina has been more expensive than Mexico for a decade. American managers are just complete trash.
>>64384595We're paying you to handle all our pollution lmfao. We don't mine rare earths because you are willing to do all the filthy work for us.
>>64384647yeah yeah right. now get on your knees and beg
>>64384647The refining is the big pollution causer.This specific topic was going on on /g/ and /pol/ nearly 15 years ago.USA "sold" the refining rights and shut down on-shore processing beginning in the late 70s because of the extreme chemical pollution it creates.At a high, broad level overview you could say the US spent nearly 50 years cleaning our environment and thus facilitating a healthy, strong people meanwhilst'd've the Chinese have been destroying theirs.
>>64384595>>64384667The problem with chinks is they have no theory of mind for non-chinks. Hence they do idiotic things like their rare-earths spazzout.
>>64384749Wrong, the problem with chinks is that they're not selling us their rare earth productsHow dare they! Donnie, crank up the tariffs! We must tax our people for buying their stuff harder!
>>64384613>China has been more expensive than Mexico for a decade. American managers are just complete trash.Manufacturing is moving there and generally out of China. However, it takes a long time. China's rise to the worlds workshop took about 30 years, so it will take at least another 30 to move stuff elsewhere. But its happening, its an inevitability.
>>64384764>Chink literally cannot comprehend the mind of non-Chinks Thank you for the proof of concept.
>>64384749go ahead, put another 100% tariff
>>64384777>go ahead, put another 100% tariffAlready have. The reason the changs are spazzing out is because of tariffs, and they have accomplished more tariffs. Xi has, once again, overplayed his hand.
>>64384781"Overplayed his hand" might be overselling it.There's no winners in a trade war, but one tends to lose more if they blink first.Which country do you think will blink first, the one where they stayed in lockdown for multiple years without issue, or the one that burned down Minneapolis the very first summer when the citizens were told to stay inside?
>>64384781hate to break this down to you but out of ALL imports in china only 2% come from the united states. you literally had a chinese diplomat on live tv saying losing the united states market is irrelevantthe us on the other hand... crazy stuffit's not even a restriction itself you just literally have to ask for permission to import those earths first, same thing china was doing since the dawn of time
>>64384808Where does China sell its goods? What happens if China can no longer access its no 1 market? >>64384801>Which country do you think will blink firstThe one which doesn't understand its opponent.
>>64384674>facilitating a healthy, strong peopleCompletely ridiculous statement for a population racked with ailments, the foremost being life changing obesity. You are clearly some kind of shill and not a real person.
>you will live to see American smuggling networks to bypass Chinese sanctions
>>64384831We're going to break you.
>>64384827>obesity is a sign of weaknessThen why was that guy in China recently disappeared for buying an elderly lady $5USD worth of vegetables and meat?
>>64384815>Where does China sell its goods?the rest of the world>What happens if China can no longer access its no 1 market? china's number 1 export market is the rest of asian countries, the us ranks 4th which china will still access anyways (at an overprice) (for americans lol)
>>64384839Do it Kyle. Try it.Deplete your stockpile. Taiwan isn't even on yet.
>>64384857Weird that there would be such an agressive respoinse from Beijing if the US market isnt so important. Using the nuclear option for a seemingly irrelevant market, when Americans pay the "cost" of tariffs is interesting. >>64384863Say less.
>>64384857The bulk of chinese money comes from those egregiously overpriced US sales. Or are you going to try to tell me Bongchou in Myanmar is spending $80 for a $7 flashlight?The US may be $17% of china's export but we are >%50 your money. We stop buying, you stop having a job. It's as simple as that.
>>64384874It’s totally unimportant. Beijing’s having a full-blown meltdown only because the U.S. market is so irrelevant. And that shiny new rare earth rule (you know, the one set to hammer every single trading partner) is clearly just a casual reaction to a minuscule slice of their exports.
>>64384874>The US may be $17% of china's export but we are >%50 your moneyWe may need to improve the American education system solely for the purposes of having less retards to argue again
all these eastoids still talking about cryes and 'gucci' shit years after the gear queer people stopped caring about overt military garments.like ya great you figured out how to make synthetic fabrics that dont shine like the sun under nods

>>64384385Nice, after 30 yrs of trying they've finally managed to copy western wonderwaffle uniforms. Truly implessive.
>>64384884Careful there, the chinky shills can't tell how sarcastic you're being.
>>64384892Sorry dude, Amazon seller company name QHCJIFJBVV is not an American.
>>64384892>you simply don't get to complainI'm not. I'm thrilled with what Xi has done. By showing the extreme risk in having all REM supply chains in China, and doing it in a way that no one can ignore it, we can now start pumping money into decoupling. Private sector has already responded with shares for REM refiners and miners surging 12-20%. Like I said with my very first post, the Chinese problem is they dont have a theory of mind for non-chinks. You literally cannot comprehend how the Western brain works.
>>64384898what you don't like WARFUN or TACTICSMAN?
>>64384898it's an american scalper in a warehouse that bought 200 of those flashlightsyou can buy them straight from china if you want
>>64384898Probably Jewish, yeah.Anyhow just go on AliExpress for the real prices. They cut you good deal gweilo.
>>64384892Riiiiight, that rule that's aimed at literally every country is definitely in response to US tariffs, on account of how meaningless we are for their other exports? I think the tariffs were dumb, but blindly lashing out at everybody is a great way to take them from something that could have easily ended on its own or with meaningless gestures and turn it into a global trade war.
>>64384904You're completely fucking retarded for thinking this argument could possibly work.
>>64384905The prices for the real same product on ali are hardly any different from the chinese amazon drop shippers especially if you consider the shipping and import fees.
>>64384453>Chinese geopolitical thinking remains strictly based on communism with Chinese characteristics.that is regular chink imperialism chang. CCP is nothing more then another dynasty. the kind that started out by physically destroying all the heritage of previous ones and killing anybody with a working brain. as is on par with red terror principles communism has always been a thinly veiled reskin of ancient feudalism and monarchy but chinks take the practical joke to another level in that they have zero social programs. like those state backed pensions western societies are moaning over as they cover themselves in debt to keep servicing old geezers? chinks have no pension system for anybody that aint a high ranking party official. for mummies its either work yourself to (literal) death or live in the dumpster as a homeless or have kids that support you in your twilight as for (you) I wish many encounters with raw pork parasites and gutter oil laced dishes in your path
>>64384915>especially if you consider the shipping and import fees.That's kind of disingenuous after slapping a significant tariff on all imports, gweilo.On a completely unrelated note, did you know that American businesses have been eating the cost on tariffs? I wonder how they got their margins so high that they can eat these tariffs to begin with.Nothing you need to worry about I'm sure, gweilo.
>>64384907last time I checked the news the us put tariffs on every country in the world. china is simply playing ball
>>64384921>Sell capitalism by insisting it's a natural order that's the result of organic human interactions>Ignore the thousands of years when feudalism and despotism was the rule everywhere Sometimes I really don't understand you anon.
>>64384923Oh, absolutely — the new U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods? Totally meaningless. Practically nothing. Beijing is only slightly losing its collective mind over them because they don’t matter at all.The furious statements, emergency economic meetings, and panicked editorials are obviously just a fun hobby for the Politburo.Oh, and don’t forget — we’ve been told only Americans pay for tariffs. Which means, clearly, China’s outrage is just deep humanitarian concern for the American shopper. Beijing isn’t angry because its export sectors are getting hammered — no, it’s losing sleep over rising toaster prices at Walmart. How thoughtful.
>>64384937More than happy to concede that communisum is devolutionary
united statians will say "chinks are irrelevant amerika stronk" and then hit you with these gems
>>64384952Oh, absolutely — because obviously a stock market that only goes up forever is the pinnacle of economic wisdom.
>>64384447You have no idea what you're talking about. Even if you did, the Chinese solution to radical Islamic terrorism was cheaper, ruined fewer lives, and actually worked at its stated aims - unlike the GWOT.

>>64384967>China has done nothing to combat us funded terrorist groupswhy would chinks do such thing? it's quite literally not their problem
>>64384952It's actually kind of a genius move.The deal was that the government invests in businesses -> businesses invest in infrastructure -> infrastructure leads to higher productivity and profits -> profits get shared with the government who invest back into company.American corporations broke the deal by directly taking the money without increasing productivity, so now the government is taxing their margins with tariffs.I'm sure all this money is going into infrastructure to increase productivity.Baltimore bridge is going to get rebuilt any day boys!
>>64384977He's talking about how the Hahn ethnically cleansed their Uyghur minority.
>>64384981>The deal was that the government invests in businesses -> businesses invest in infrastructure -> infrastructure leads to higher productivity and profits -> profits get shared with the government who invest back into company.No, Chang, the US does not and has never followed the Chinese model.
>>64384595The issue isn't mining. It's refining, which will never happen without accepting some degree of pollution, lower living standards, and telling a bunch of wholesome chungus small businesses and farmers "go fuck yourself, we're using eminent domain to get the land for the refinery".Trump and that cocksucker Lutnick lack the will or talent to actually do this, hence the half measures that have blown up in their face. It took Japan a decade to get their REM sourcing to a mere 40% Chinese, but these delusional children think this can be accomplished on a dime.
>>64384982who said uyghurs were exterminated? the us? you better look at the native americans

>>64384892Actually, it's probably a response to a recent round of export restrictions reneging on what Ryan and Donald agreed to in Madrid.Why do you think Ryan has been harping on Trump and Biden not doing what was agreed to at the negotiating table for the last few years. If anything, China has shown remarkable restraint against a country who's explicitly stated position is "we are trying to destroy your economy and make you poor." Like nigga, at least let an agreement get to it's half life before you start breaking it.
>>64385006>You wish you were.No we really dont. We went from a 0% share of global chip production in 2020 and we'll be at 28% of global market share by 2032.
There's a chinese, communist rich-power people meeting and planning get together in my very own state of New Jersey next week that I've had my eye on since two months ago.I'm going to invoke my interpretation of section 50 U.S.C. §§ 841–844 and waste all of the bastards.
>>64385010>the Western mind>I have no theory for it
>>64385014Impressive.Very nice.Let's see China's numbers.
>>64384967They solved Islamic terrorism by throwing a few 100k people in jail over 10-15 years, maybe executed a couple thousand, and increased gendarmerie presence in the relevant reasons.The Global War on Terror killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, created a massive refugee crisis in Europe, and increased Muslim immigration to the US to the point that the US actually had Islamic domestic terrorism. As we've seen with ISIS, Hamas, and Hezbollah - it didn't meaningfully dent radical Islamic paramilitaries and kept creating new ones.The Chinese solution to the Uighur problem was frankly more humane when you look at body counts, and again actually accomplished its stated goals.

Yes or no.
>All this retarded discussionThe reason behind Trump's yesterday sperging on TRUTH is because the chink export restriction effectively nukes the US' and EU's weapons industry at all levels above small arms Literally nukes it and was directly aimed at it which is why you see in the chink chart elements no one has heard of before but if you look into them they are used for stuff like aircraft radars, ram coating, laser designators, optics, missile seekers or even supercomputersSee for example Erbium, used for lasers, optics and when it's alloyed with vanadium it's used to make fighter aircraft fuselages because it's extremely heat resistant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ErbiumThe whole list is just like this

>>64385063Oh and BTW mining most of those elements is FORBIDDEN in the US and EU together because of the sheer amount of pollution necessary to mine, process and refine them which chinks don't give a fuck about because most mines are in ecologically sterile locations that were already dead before the plans for the mines were laid down.Swedes for example have Erbium, Yttrium, Terbium and Ytterbium deposits but they can't mine them without nuking their environment (and the village where it's all found together)

If the chinese really wanted war why would they try a rugpull well before it and not at a more opportune time? Attributing stupidity, while fun, isn't constructive. I still can't think of a good reason, though.
>>64384447Manufacturing in the US costs about 20% more than manufacturing in China. When you pay 300% more for a US product, what you're paying for is the privilege of owning a US-made product, and not the labor of making it.
>>64385423>When you pay 300% more for a US product, what you're paying for is the privilege of owning a US-made product, and not the labor of making it.I owned a Ford and it was no fucking privilege
>>64385432Cars are a special case, for some reason the market is okay with letting everyone take 300% markups. Not sure why you bought a Ford when you could have gotten literally anything else for about the same price.
>>64385419export restrictions aren't a rug pullrefusing to accept USD or Euro overnight is a rug pull
>>64385063case in point, exports of these rare earths for sanitary applications is exempt of all restrictions
>>64384765Yeah because China's transitioning away from that into a more service based economy, they don't want to be the world's factory forever
>>64384385This isn't to say the Chinese don't have to suffer of corruption, but corruption is a huge part of the price IMO. Price gorging, pointless money sinks, everyone getting a cut, etc. Take pic for example https://www.nationalguard.mil/News/Article/628197/iowa-national-guard-soldiers-recognized-for-ironman-ammo-pack-system/https://soldiersystems.net/2014/09/21/us-army-developed-ironman-ammo-pack-costs-more-than-commercial-version-it-emulates/There was a commercially available version and the US Army insisted on doing their own version that sucked worse and was more expensive after years of development. Possible incompetence but it makes you wonder where did the years and money go when soldiers willingly ditch theirs for the commercially available version. The actual costs of making shit must be far lower once corrupt military nonsense magically goes away.
>>64384493They had a middle class.Then the CCP began swinging dick in geopolitics, which really didn’t help when Covid hit and their zero covid policy strangled world supply chains. International companies began slowly pulling out or spreading their manufacturing into other countries due to fears of china’s increasing political aggression and realizing all their manufacturing and supply were in China.Their real estate market also imploded, which brought down a lot of the rest of their economy because local governments and investment banks were neck deep in property investment. The industries that supplied property development also lost a big chunk of their orders. CCP fears even more industry collapse so they pump subsidies to critical industries and these companies just overproduce to a slowing demand. Overcapacity then leads to intense price wars and low wages and small-medium business closures. Foreign companies pulling out, domestic companies locked into a price war spiral, falling property values fucking a lot of the middle class who bought in when the times were good, now holding a loan with a stressed job market locked into low wages. Not helped by millions of college grads each year, who are desperate for work, and companies more than willing to layoff all the middle aged employees to hire these desperate college grads for even less pay.China’s economy is in a death spiral right now, it’s slow and doesn’t seem bad, but at the moment their saving grace is a few industries being heavily held up by their government and everything is cheap as fuck because everyone is paid very little.
>>64384447>muh Murica manufactureLBT with LBX line has all its shit made in Perú where they got one of the best cotton sewing in the world but they still tear your asshole with the prices anyways. Hell I even bought a fucking Lacoste T-shirt when I visited like a decade ago on the street for 4usd at that time, and it was pretty much a fucking 1:1 except of the logo not sticking out like the original, I even wear it today during summer. I would even fucking dare to say most shit "murica made" is outsourced anyways and comes with the label saying it was, this shit even applies for car parts for fucks sake.
>>64385124True communists believe in the dialectical process of history and think that hundreds of millions dead and centuries wasted are just an acceptable and intended part of the process.
>>64384511even here in fucking australia that's what (aussie) construction workers go throughsource: my brother is a plumber
>>64385349And costs 10x the usual methods which means nobody can and will use it at relevant levels.
>>64384466Trijicon is a weird one since the vast majority of their products suck ass, all their good products are discontinued, and they sacrificed untold babies to make the ACOG as good as it is. TARS sucked, Credo is mediocre (even though it's made by LOW), VCOG sucks, SRO breaks, RMR was ahead of its time but is dated now, RCR has an awful mount solution, RMR HD is good but absurdly expensive, MRO is awful with the new model being the only decent one and still worse than the Aimpoint Duty and a lot of the higher end Holosuns and Nig chink dots.

>>64386301>that's what (aussie) construction workers go throughhe already said chinese
>>64384808Chinese products are one thing. Chinese components in American products are another. All of a sudden, even American products will start costing more because the housing or the electronics will cost twice as much.
>>64386646And China isn't the only place people can get those. This so-called crisis is likely going to lead to some economic reforms that have been a long time coming in the west. And I say the west and not just the U.S. because basically everyone is having some weird economic crisis of some kind, and people are getting tired of the sick-man of Asia's shit.
>>64384514At this point, your impotent rage is nothing but entertaining. I know you want it to be read as a threat, but everyone here knows that you are obese, will never be able to run an 8:00-minute mile, and that your shooting skills come from watching Ben Stoeger's YouTube. You know you will never harm anyone because you have already submitted totally to paying taxes, getting vaxxed, and being reduced to goy cattle. You are spiritually, mentally, and physically broken to such a degree that no one would even send you to do their dirty work, yet you claim you would.Probably the most pathetic post on /k/ right now.
>>64386679Honestly, CCP and Xi played their hands a decade too soon, they fucked it up. Now they're bleeding foreign investment and a stagnating domestic economy, and before long, they're gonna need to do something extreme to shore in domestic support and distraction like invading Taiwan, which will ultimately decouple almost all western trade.
>>64384453fuck off chinksect
>>64387346Not sure if brown hands typed this. The Western economy without its financial sector would have already been obliterated twice over. All the gains are just Monopoly money aimed at keeping “investors” happy, while China produces actual goods. But to brown people this is probably 10 dimensional economics.

>>64387360While I'm not going to pretend that the majestic 7 aren't overvalued right now, producers of goods depend completely on the financial sector at every step in their value chain, and pretending that a business that makes windshields is going to just continue if the stock market crashes only serves to show you don't understand anything about either finance or business
>>64387360>while China produces actual goodsChina has an overcapacity problem in a few of their big industries (Steel and EV being the most prominent). Made worse by their government pumping cash into these industries to just make more. And when you got a shit ton of supply, you'll try and flood it onto foreign markets, which then triggers massive tariffs because you're threatening those foreign nation's own domestic industries. But yes, China still has a lot of leverage because the decades of being the world's manufacturing hub, they have mature and established infrastructure, supply chain, and production capabilities. Like rare earth materials, they pretty much have the rare earth refining on strangle hold for the rest for the world.But outside of some very critical stuff, the bulk of their produced goods are not really that important in the grand scheme of things.
