yes, but china still able to utilise cheap labour with minimum wage still, as of Jan. 2020,

$US3.16 per hour in Shanghai and $US2.91 in Shenzhen.

it has a huge labour pool to draw upon, and still exploits workers.

Good luck to China, but what about our difficulties which should not be offset by its rise and rise, which i feel is a step back for humanity.

Chris Lewis,

Sounds like a great idea but Australia has become fixated on being a primary producer supplying raw materials to manufacturing areas overseas. A result of globalisation and free trade agreements that have dramatically shaped the global civilisation over the past 30 years. We have basically sold off our industrial infrastructure so it would have to be a quantum leap to industrialise and be effective at it.

yes it would, but incremental change can lead to a trend of change over time.

Change never happens overnight, but the first thing needed is for a society to demand change and ask our leaders to wake from their slumber and abandon short term self interested aims.

While I understand why Australia adopted its policy choices from the 1980s, they always took the easy option.

the reliance on the east producing and the west consuming is increasingly unviable.

i suggested this long ago when i noted that the US would take on China ten years ago

WTF, Payne will not answer questions about China on Insiders.

Some of these liberal politicians are jellybacks in not calling out China.

So its not 'Lee Harvey Fishmonger' from the Wuhan Seafood Market anymore.
- That means that Frydenberg whinging about the wet markets is left looking like the idiot I knew he was.

The corporate media has built a new house of cards.
They now say it's 'Lee Harvey Lab-Assistant' from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

I hope none of you lot throw good money away paying for your poor quality news.
You're being ripped off if you are.
The best the media are capable of on the big jobs is selling narrative and conjecture.
It truly isn't worth paying for.

When was the last time they got it right on a story that mattered?

i never rely on Australia's mainstream media. how else did we get into the mess we have now with the goons in the Australian years ago supporting the reliance on China and mining for our future.

i like what i am hearing from Greg Sheridan though on Insiders today
