Honestly it's genuinely shocking to me that only 8% of UK gdp is manufacturing. Not necessarily that UK manufacturing is particularly important, but just that it's a country of 70 million people. Meanwhile Singapore has a fraction of the population and a land mass less than the size of London but yet 20% of its gdp comes from manufacturing.
Overall, the lack of uk manufacturing ability is actually shocking to me, not being from there. It doesn't produce its own insulin, it doesnt have mass produced car brands, it doesn't produce much of its rollingstock or their components, etc. Etc.
Britain's entire economy revolves around London's finance, outside there the nation is poorer than Mississippi IIRC. They're part of managing the balance sheet of the imperial debt trap. They don't do anything legit. That KDWalmsey guy was saying that Chinese firms might not even be able to profitably invest in European factories for the purposes of circumventing EV sanctions lol
Being in the imperial core, they outsource all the manufacturing
Wdym? They are among the top european manufacturers of quantitative financial analaysis spreadsheets. Only uncivilised countries (usually inhabitated by non-whites) produce material things - meanwhile my superior intellect has concluded that another $100 million should be invested into AI-datacenters, long live the UKKK!
Funny how the countries that make shit are called "developing" while the ones who actively deindustrialised are developed
