What are the mechanical engineers in the United States talking about us? I saw this on a forum; many people replied, and each person had their own opinion. But it can be summed up in one point: the United States is not scary. As long as we all unite and work hard, learning from those who are more advanced, we will become strong! We believe that that day will come soon, as long as we work together! In the United States, on the other side of the world, is one of the countries with the most advanced manufacturing industries in the planet. What do their mechanical engineers talk about when discussing China and its people? From the small perspective of the American Mechanical Engineers online forum, this article briefly discusses what topics related to us they talk about. Topics related to China as a whole. In the eyes of American mechanical engineers, China is a country with rapid development and strong competitiveness** ； There are mixed feelings: cheap Chinese goods are welcome, while the impact on their markets and jobs is detested. Topics such as “how to make things in China more expensive” will be discussed. In some discussions and travel accounts, they were surprised by China’s rapid development and the low cost of its labor force; they couldn’t understand why a high-quality flashlight cost only 20 dollars. Apart from a large supply of cheap consumer goods, China also brought them a strong sense of crisis. It is worth mentioning that, alongside China, our neighbor India is also mentioned. Regarding the manufacturing industry. In the eyes of most people, China’s manufacturing industry is still quite backward ； Engineers who have visited some manufacturing plants in China describe us using terms such as \"incredibly primitive\" and \"lacking concern for environmental protection\". Attracted by China’s cheap products, but not entirely confident in the performance of the equipment, they hope that someone who has been to China can verify the quality of the devices they are interested in. Some well-known independent companies, such as Chery, are gradually coming to their attention. They are worried that in a few years, China’s high-end products, such as cars, will also flood their markets. Regarding lifestyle. In their eyes, Chinese people don’t care about leisure and are workaholics; such an attitude towards life puts them under stress. Problems in China. In the machinery industry, issues such as energy and the environment were mentioned. Such as China’s future massive demand for oil, steel, etc., factories’ extreme lack of attention to pollution control, and poor working conditions. From their perspective, our employment issues also represent a threat; cheap foreign labor means the transfer of domestic capital. Overall, China is seen by them as a rapidly developing ** country, which puts pressure on them; as a result, there are also some unfriendly remarks. Looking at their understanding of China, it’s clear that there are still many opportunities in our industry. Taking our competition overseas would create a whole new landscape!
