LOL, the blog gives a lot of detailed reasons, even summarizes it [1] and but some random stranger gives an outdated opinion from the '90s, which is not even wrong just plain humorous. If slave labor, how come everything else is also not so cheap.

huh? it is all cheaper relatively. which exported good from china is more expensive now than the 90s adjusted for inflation?

it's literally what the graphs in the article say... increased efficiency and what I am saying are not in contention.

Why are you putting the onus on the commenter you’re replying to, to show you examples that disprove the point of the article when you’re the one being a contrarian?

TVs are super famous as the economic example of a good getting cheaper in nominal terms every year as they get better specs. Because it’s such a strange phenomenon. You looking for cheaper real goods, opposed to nominal, misses half (or more) of why TVs are so interesting.

Why don’t you show us some other goods that are cheaper in nominal terms compared to the 90s “because China”?
