>be Finland, >own Sulzer’s 120 years of two-stroke engine know-how, >one of only TWO companies on Earth that can design the engines moving world trade>sell it to China for less than one container ship (100 million$)because “margins bad” and the sauna needed renovating>Nokia speedrun any% again, >China now owns half the engines on the ocean >while Wärtsilä proudly keeps the right to change their oil filters
>>544876628?Sulzer is from Switzerland
>>544876628Yah well It's the new normal We deserve it for allowing Jews to burn Europe and USA to the ground Especially after they only gained power by fucking over the Chinese for 100 years
>>544876797It almost feels like the west is a Jew sacrifice to China
>>544876628Aren't these types of marine engines terribly antiquated compared to diesel turbine designs?
I have to admit even as an Asian, I get second hand embarassment when China doesn't even try to make their own design, even though they could at this point.It says something about how low their confidence actually is.
>>544876628That was a horrible era of Finnish history and scrapping Wärtsilä was not the only farce. Destruction of Nokia happened back then also. And half of our paper industry went kaputt also.The Wärtsilä disaster is even worse than you even know here. They tried to move the engine building to Italy, but the macaronis were not able to do precision work and basically there were then Finnish crews in Trieste rebuilding everything the spaghetti people fucked up. You can only imagine what that made for the profit margins. I have no idea what happened then. Probably a complete collapse. Now we are broke and without industry.
>>544876780>Sulzer is from Switzerlandwas owned by Wärtsilä
Finland used to be all but entirely self sufficient they could build everything from a paper bag to a car in country now they are gutted, atomized, aimless, a dead people walking many such cases
>>544876950does it really matter when they're sitting on the bottom of the persian gulf ?
>>544877119We can do that still but we are also fucked up.But much less than most of the 1st world, like your country. But still fucked up.
>>544877119>Finland used to be all but entirely self sufficient they could build everythingnow they have the highest unemployment in EU insane
>>544876995You're missing the point. By buying it the Chinese are taking competition out of the market in addition to gaining access to schematics... Capitalists are handing over tech and industry to enrich themselves at the expense of the nation's they're selling out.
>>544877419Dang, that's pretty smart.These niggers are thinking steps ahead of me. No wonder their country is ahead of the rest of us.
>>544877119>join the eurozone they said >it’ll be good for the economy they said Suckers
>>544877419because that capital is better allocated to financial markets or holding stock in the s&p than selling boomer engins for the next 100 years. the west is just systematically trading real and tangible products and goods for the financial instruments that represent these goods online
>>544876995>even though they couldlolthe entire chinese economy is build on stealing western technology
>>544876628How did these small populated gooks do that? Don’t you need a lot of suppliers for that type of industry or is it because of European free trade before eu?
>>544876628What's the torque on that bad boy?
>>544876950This company also makes the engines for gas powerplants. It's real fucking sad to just hand off this shit to the chinks. Eventually native knowledge on how to even service these things, let alone fucking build another one, goes the way of the dodo. All for enviromemes, quarterly line must go up, refuniggers, and retarded Swedish boys like Greta Thunberg.
>>544880254ALL.
>>544880165Finnish maritime industry is huge and one of the few capable to build luxury cruisers. We build the largest Caribbean cruisers. And the whole industry is about 80% domestic. Wärtsilä was and is a part of that ecosystem, it builds the engines (nowadays 4-stroke). Why? The russkies demanded outrageous war reparations after WW2, largely as ships, and that forced us to build this system. No one gave a fuck about us, so we had to build everything from scratch, and fast, or become occupied by russkies. That's enough reason for this thing to exist. Then for some reason we haven't fucked it up yet.
>>544881319>capable to build luxury cruisersliterally useless dogshit nobody needs.
>>544876628smart move considering MAN completely wiped the floor with them
>>544881319So that’s how you avoided annexation by soviets? Makes a little sense.
>>544876628Its because the ching chongs will work for nothing and are smart enough to pretty much build an exact copy in china.
>>544877019It was all part of a carefully crafted ruse to de-industrialize and weaken the west. What their ultimate goals are is speculation but it's no accident or coincidence that the west committed suicide all at about the same time.
>>544881342Germany builds plenty of luxury cruisers as welll
>>544881830they are useless dogshit regardless of who builds them.
>>544881675The soviets thought that we can't pay the reparations, so they would have a legal way to annex Finland. But of course they didn't know anything about working hard, as they were russkies, so their plan backfired.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_war_reparations_to_the_Soviet_Union
>>544881319I thought china builds like 70% of the worlds ships now? Japan and South Korea build the rest. Cruise ships must be a small portion.
>>544876995>get thing for free>this is bad because I want to suck up to whites (cucks)whites made all of it and then self suicided their civilizations. don't worship us.
>>544877019boomers deserve total 419(k) devaluation followed by death
>>544879948and is that good or bad?all that shit is worth nothing, if its no longer honored
>>544881977Well they build the dumb bulk. Disposable oil tankers and container carriers. They have tried to build cruise ships (all the Asians), but they are 100 years too early. Also Americans don't have that capacity, they build from us lol.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_maritime_cluster
>>544877282Ah so this is anti-NATO propaganda by Russia.
could be worst, you could be a Dutch engineer and sell ASLM designs to china in 2026
