Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

God bless Chinese manufacturing
You mean borderline slave labor? Because that's pretty much what Chinese manufacturing is.
American capitalist create a chip shortage, china saves the day: china bad
Yeah, I know I’m not gonna go with that 1990s bullshit anymore. The middle class is stronger than the American middle class so I hope you’re not an American… because that would mean you occupy the same corporate dictatorship that I do. Suppressing free speech everywhere. Pushing half the country into poverty while china pulls theirs out? Yeah bro must really suck to live in China right now.
Bud, wait until you hear what "made in america" really means
Maybe if you are comparing it to the US cost of living? The average manufacturing job for tech companies in China is around 12k usd a year, while a middle class yearly income starts around 15k a year. So they are in the upper end of the working class.
The basic cost of living is just extremely cheap compared to western countries. Although the wages are only 20-25% when compared to US manufacturing, the cost of basic necessities like housing and food are about 3x cheaper.
It really matters what region you are talking about, tier 1 cities are quite a bit more expensive than tier 2 and 3, but still affordable compared to western nations.
Depends. Newly built apartments will set you back $200k after conversion there, some years ago it could easily reach $500k.
