But now we’re paying the price with lost jobs, skills, and a weakened manufacturing base. The long-term impact is clear—Australia is left scrambling to rebuild what we gave up, and it’s proving a tough challenge.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/manufacturing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>manufacturing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/outsourcing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outsourcing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>china</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/australianeconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>australianeconomy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/jobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jobs</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/skills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>skills</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/trade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trade</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/privatesector" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privatesector</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/globaltrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>globaltrade</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>economics</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/supplychain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>supplychain</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/regret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>regret</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/businessstrategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>businessstrategy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/industry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>industry</span></a></p>
Mojo ♻️<p>When the US began outsourcing manufacturing to China in the 80s, it was praised as a smart business move that boosted shareholder profits. But the short-term cost cuts came at a heavy price: loss of jobs, skills, and the transfer of intellectual property. Now, America is scrambling to bring back its manufacturing industry.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Chinese government is concerned about the intellectual property of its automakers. Reportedly, it gathered all major car companies this summer, advising them to avoid full-scale manufacturing abroad. Instead, they should only ship knock-down kits and use foreign factories for assembly.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/manufacturing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>manufacturing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/outsourcing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outsourcing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>china</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/intellectualproperty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>intellectualproperty</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/automakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>automakers</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/electricvehicles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electricvehicles</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ev</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/businessstrategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>businessstrategy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/globaltrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>globaltrade</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>economics</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/jobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jobs</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/supplychain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>supplychain</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/automotiveindustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>automotiveindustry</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tesla</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/byd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>byd</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.notebookcheck.net/BYD-may-avoid-America-s-outsourcing-mistakes-with-knock-down-kits-for-export-assembly.887857.0.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">notebookcheck.net/BYD-may-avoi</span><span class="invisible">d-America-s-outsourcing-mistakes-with-knock-down-kits-for-export-assembly.887857.0.html</span></a></p>
Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>As Margaret Heffernan (FT) points out at the heart of the Grenfell disaster was the use of outsourcing - it atomises responsibility &amp; leaves its contracting organisations (wilfully?) ignorant of the details... </p><p>And as she concludes, defenders of outsourcing 'insist that it forces the best to the top, but it’s past time that we also acknowledge it routinely does the opposite, encouraging dishonesty, misinformation, cheating &amp; fraud in education, sport, politics and commerce'!</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/outsourcing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outsourcing</span></a></p>
