    I looked it up on the internet, e.g here it has only mean data: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/median-income-by-country

    Maybe 5 is not the exact number but it should be in that range.

    I never said the quality is generally bad, but I think he misunderstands why other companies ask for details, that’s my point. If you don’t design something with enough details, you basically allows someone else to design it with your name on it.

    Do you think Apple just sends a vague sketch about the iphone to china and let them figure out the details? As a designer you shouldn’t do that, because if something wrong happens with that thing it’s your liability.

    He won’t tell the Chinese company what kind of welding should they use, so you can be sure they will use the cheapest method, because they also need money for food. If he would design the product correctly, with requiring standards, than I guess the price would be also higher, because now the Chinese company can’t use the cheaper option.

    Well, I have a feeling that the fact that US median salary is around 5 times the Chinese is also plays a role here…

    So for the same job which requires a human you have to pay ~5 times more to be made in the US, and for a black coated box like the one in the video it doesn’t really matter if it will be sitting in a container for 1 week or 4 weeks, so that’s a reason as well…

    He speaks about in the video that the Chinese design details for him for free. But whose liability would be if that weld in the corner breaks? He will tell it was because the manufacturer used some bad welding practice, but he will have to pay for that. Good luck trying to sue a sweatshop in China from the US… The American company asks for details to cover their asses, not because they don’t know, so for a design failure they can point to the designer.

    I’m not a metal shop I’m a software development company

    This perfectly sums up. You don’t know what you are doing and the Chinese also see this, but they see it as an exploitable stupid American, who has no idea what he speaks about, so they can sell him the lowest quality product…

    Fifteenth to seventeenth century ruins of the Ziwa people (upland culture) have been found throughout Nyanga. The ruins include homesteads, centred on pit structures thought to have been used as cattle-pens and larger hill-top settlements, referred to as Forts. The pit structures were once referred to as slave pits, but that interpretation has generally been not supported by archaeologists and is now discredited. There are three sites which can be readily accessed by tourists: Chawomera Fort is located above the Nyangombe River, on a gravel road north of the park headquarters.

    Associated with the ruins are extensive agricultural terracing and irrigation furrows. Iron extraction was practised, mainly to support the complex agricultural technology.
