--- Quote from: coppice on August 23, 2020, 01:03:03 pm ---ZhongShan is a much nicer place to live than ShenZhen, too. :) --- End quote --- I'm more thinking into Zhuhai and then commute to Zhongshan. I prefer Zhuhai in terms of place to live, specially with my kid. Also being close to Macao, being me Portuguese itself, it would also be a good way to kill some "saudades" from home when talking/eating with some Portuguese friends I have there. But I'm putting the horse before the cart. As I said lets see how things go, then I will think about together with my wife what the next step. |

It has a real relaxed seaside town atmosphere. There are some electronics companies in ZhuHai, but I have never been to a large operation there. They mostly seem to be beyond ZhuHai and towards ZhongShan. An area littered with run down CD making factories. :) |

Plus with the advantage of being able to use Portuguese products that I could get from Macao (been there last year, and most supermarkets looked like back home, full of Portuguese wine, beer, milk, juices, traditional bread, butter, cheese, olive oil, pork sausages, etc) that I can't find here in Shenzhen, although some in Hong Kong and Online too. |

This is what the CCP calls their "Silicon Valley" in Where is China’s Silicon Valley? But most of the production (not totally sure about this) is on the Pearl River Delta, with most companies with offices in Shenzhen (or founded in Shenzhen) and most manufacturing around it. --- End quote --- Looks more like a "silicon plain" than a "silicon valley"! :D I have never been to China, would love to go one day. |

Lets not forget the cost this predatory model is having on the people of the world. Seems not that long ago when things were improving for workers, now we're being pushed into this race to the bottom. We ignore that at our own perils. --- Quote from: Bud on August 19, 2020, 07:31:14 pm ---Yes but it adds weight to it when such behemoth as Foxconn admits it in clear text. --- End quote --- |
