there is a lot of peter zeihan-style cope in this thread. but i ordered an industrial ultrasound machine to check welds and other components from china because it was significantly cheaper than the siemens version, and it works great. this is not low-end stuff. these are relatively advanced electronics. and china is churning them out en masse. that takes an advanced economy, from the supply chains to the fabrication centers to the software development. anyone who can't see this is just a shill and/or retarded.
