So much for the ideals of COMMUNISM, which basic principle was for the END of exploitation of the masses by the rich....And yet, the CCP govt of China STILL attempts to brainwash its citizens to turn to the devil Mao for hope....sigh...

The only true original & freedom fighters of Communists of China were the leaders of the famous LONG MARCH, whom successfully rebelled against the brutal Ching Dynasty & Warlords. Mao was one of the them but was not the leader. He was only part of the team that made of far more intelligent & trained individuals including the famous Deng Xiao Peng.

Unfortunately, unknown to everyone, he ambitiously served the CCP with only one purpose - to be the new Emperor of China, as with such rights as kings, to rule over others. The TRUE leaders of the Communist Party whom only wanted to uplift Chinese citizens lives were decimated thru many ways that saw none lived, except for Deng whom was sent to jail to live out his life till the death of Mao, & who tried to reform China.

Mao's results were clear, BUT NOT ever told to even today's Chinese citizens. He held back the progress & evolution of the Chinese People, ordered millions to be executed or starved, in order that he remained in his deluded dream of power. This is Mao's idea of Communism, which run against EVERY SINGLE GRAIN of what Karl Marx had envisioned for a better civilization, based sadly only upon what he knew back then....

Yet today, the CCP extolls Mao.......while millions suffered, whom believed in the ideals of Communism that was supposed to elevate lives, but only to see themselves exploited YET AGAIN under 9-9-6 work culture, deprived of much, starved, with no hopes, etc, etc....

Mao is revered because he kept china intact. And expand by invading Tibet.he wanted Mongolia too but Soviet saved mongolia from chinese rule.
 
Where an item is made is not solely dependent on labour costs, but importantly on availability of skilled labour, especially for high-end products. America has long outsourced its manufacturing; whatever manufacturing it does has been taken over by automation and robots. That's why tariffs will not bring back manufacturing that requires a high level of skilled workers, not to mention low-end assembly line stuff.

ALVARADO, Texas / PARIS, April 10 (Reuters) - Six years ago, LVMH's billionaire CEO Bernard Arnault and President Donald Trump cut the blue ribbon on a factory in rural Texas that would make designer handbags for Louis Vuitton, one of the world’s best-known luxury brands.

But since the high-profile opening, the factory has faced a host of problems limiting production, 11 former Louis Vuitton employees told Reuters. The site has consistently ranked among the worst-performing for Louis Vuitton globally, “significantly” underperforming other facilities, according to three former Louis Vuitton workers and a senior industry source, who cited internal rankings shared with staff.

  • LVMH’s new Texas facility is one of Louis Vuitton’s worst-performing, sources said
  • The factory, which makes $1,500-and-up handbags, struggles to train workers, sources said
  • Defective bags are shredded on-site and carted away in trucks, sources said
  • Louis Vuitton to close California workshop by 2028, seeks to move staff to Texas, sources said
