End of the "Made in China" Era?, It very well could be. Options

Look What you see there is something we've never seen before.

No more manual labor. I don't even know how much this changes the economy.

Labor unions will lose their deathgrip on manufacturing.
New medical information.
Science.
And of course, china loses it's greatest advantage, It's cheap labor. Even now, stuff like Google has left china due to blatant IP theft (Intellectual Property). We could have a revolution like the Internet or Steam engine.
Heck, it could be something as epic as the invention of sliced bread.

After reading all this I think that the the best energy source is Nuclear Fusion, and the best way to go for the helium-3 idea, is to leave it where it is. And it also pisses me off how much every country depends on cheap labor to keep economy decent, like Australia, we have the raw materials (iron ore, natural gas, shitty oil, tonnes of uranium) and we ship it ALL overseas to be processed, then we buy it ALL back, for triple the price. Funny thing is, no country is independent anymore, I think they should be, but then governments pull the 'international relations' thing, which isn't anything, all it is, is a ticket in and out of a country.



Moral of the story: The World is Corrupt.

Moral of the story: The World is Corrupt.

The Brazil as well as Australia also holds large mineral reserves and other important natural resources, and here things are not too different. It is curious that in Brazil for example there is a 'monopoly of niobium' (98% of all reservations of this rare superconductor) and this strategic resource does not ensure the projection of Brazil as a superpower; if we invested more in the domestic market of the aerospace and electronics industry we would have a higher consumption potential that would bring greater competitiveness for the country, more jobs and a significant reduction in the final cost of electronics devices, would we do with the other countries to respect us more and our economy today could be at least the third or fourth largest in the world.

But as the old adage says: "who is born to be a wolf will always be a wolf, this is its true nature..." peoples, societys and countries are often treated as 'sheeps' in international relations as the 'wolves' predate on to live in abundance, this is the real moral of the story.
