The company i used to work for decided none of that mattered and set up a whole manufacturing plant in China. Why protect your secrets when you can just share the whole thing with China?

[โ€“] sartalon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Yup. Move all the production to China to take advantage of their slave wages/conditions, and instead of passing any savings on to the consumer, they push all profits to the share holders.

That has worked out so well for us, hasn't it, especially now that we have such a hostile relationship with them.

Companies are the worst.

China's gonna own us all.
