EUROPE, AMERICA AND OTHER DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ARE YET TO LEARN THEIR LESSON WITH CHINA

                                 
If Europe and America are wise, they would have known before now that the Chinese cannot be trusted. I blame the US/ businessmen and other European businessmen for deliberately exporting all their manufacturing factories to China because of their cheaper labour, and also to avoid huge taxes.
 
I also heard that they are now exporting the pharmaceutical factories to India for the same cheaper labour. When will they learn?
 
The entire developed countries of US/UK and Europe, and their businessmen and Governments, are to blame themselves for using China as the centre of their manufacturing goods just because of cheaper labour rates/wages/salaries, and not too exorbitant taxes. But I believe the developed world, as well as the developing countries like Nigeria and its political leaders, should learn from these global economic experiences.
 
Is it not abnormal that today, everything; from generators,clothes,shoes,furniture and tooth picks are all imported from China. And if our health infrastructure are not made and fixed to meet world standards, then we will all have ourselves to blame for it. Is it not surprising to note that the same Chinese that reportedly gave birth to the Coronavirus, which is the most dangerous virus, is still the same country that Nigerians have been depending on for the import of health services of  personal protective equipment (PPEs) like masks, handgloves, etc. Including hospital beds and ventilators. And China is very willing to do this because they want to do everything to become an economic world power.
 
Since the Chinese don't have human conscience, who knows, they could export some of these hospital equipment laden with the virus to Nigeria. They bottom line is that the Chinese should not be trusted, especially in the times we are.
