China increased its industrial robot installations in 2024 even as major global markets saw declines, according to preliminary data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
The country recorded a 5 percent rise to about 290,000 units, accounting for 54 per cent of the world’s total, up from 51 percent in 2023. In contrast, the global installation volume fell to around 520,000 units.

Chatbots and data centers will solve this problem… right?

The EU is almost completely devoid of hi-tech manufacturing. The US is a laggard as well. China century is here.

Sure, its easy with low regulation and slave wages.

So even if Trump’s tariffs bring manufacturing back to the USA, the jobs will go to robots.

I don’t care who builds it
I don’t even care if it spies on me walking around in my skivvies
Would someone please release for sale a fucking robot to wash my dishes and do my fucking laundry already ffs
We can genetically alter dna
We can send drone attacks to pinpoint locations
We can have factory robots that do the work of people, thus people losing jobs
But I still have to wash the dishes. What is this crap

This is to be expected, Chinese high tech manufacturing is second to none.

Same thing that happened in the 2000’s. While the rest of the world was involved in some war, (thanks america!) china was full stop building out it’s micro electronics industry and it’s rail system.
They left us behind once and they’re gonna do it again. The US is so cooked.

Over the next 50 years China is going to run circles around the rest of the world.

As if they aren’t already doing it now.
