Chinese automakers want to come to US. They could be here fairly soon

53. Totally agree with the wage issues being a major obstacle. It reminds me of the 60s when

Japan was viewed as cheap in the US. In fact many people would refuse to buy Japanese products (or Jap as they used to say - a holdover from the war). In reality, Japan set the standard in quality for years and many of our present day quality standards come from the Japanese.

Like Japan, the Chinese might decide to move some of their manufacturing to the US and along with bring their manufacturing concepts with them. Competition creates benefits for consumers and although not sure how much the US government will be willing to subsidize auto manufacturing prices can come down even as most auto companies no longer use the manpower of the past (robots).

But the price of autos has increased dramatically in the last 10 years along with Executive pay, stock buybacks, even as labor costs are down because of automation.

Prices are too damn high!! And it apples to everything, everywhere and is not sustainable. ☮
