I was reading here and there of how much chinese production in various industries continues to increase (textiles, TV sets etc). Could this actually be a clever way of indirectly creating world wide communism by overproducing everything and letting the prices get lower and lower worldwide ? Since they are a closed society with enormous manpower they could eventually virtually out compete almost everyone in every field. Imagine if they started exporting cars, furniture at the same rate of their textile industry! They could always prove that their communist system can produce unlimited goods for everyone therefore proving that capitalism is not the future ?
amazing! why didn’t stalin think of it?
no, i fail to see how excess production can change the rest of the world to communism.
first, china is drifting away from communism, slowly liberazing and democratizing economy and political life.
second, the chinese products have only one advantage: price. they are not very qualitative (and those who are are more expensive). the fact that china produces so much is not due to a very efficient economy (it might be efificnet, but that’s not relevant) or to a high prductivity, but because there are so f%$&%°g many of them, and the vast majority employed in production, then in agriculture and very little in services.
and they can’t produce anything with the rate at which they produce textiles. it would also be useless to produce cars at the same rate, since there is a huge diference in demand for the two products.
If communism is on its way, then I predicte that it would happen first in the people’s republic of China.
The amount of production on itself means nothing much in this context, what has to be considered is the amount of resources of production, especially the raw materials. IF the raw material is very limited and fixed, then fast increase in production simply means stepping fastlierly closer to death.
