Is China the main supplier of PPE equipment?

[Deleted member 18243]

To have a factory in U.K. producing a product will tend to have secondary employment of workers not belonging to the factory, whether that be local material suppliers, delivery drivers, tradespeople, cleaners, food providers, etc.
Also means the factory workers tend to spend their hard earned cash in local shops and businesses.

Very very true, it's called the "trickle-down effect".

 

[EFLImpudence]

That's not trickle-down.

I don't think it has ever happened - the proposed outcome, that is.

How much can we do without China?

If Bozza rejects the 'level playing field' directive set out by the EU and decides to take the UK out of the EU without a trade deal, then I'd say we will lean on China even more.

Some bozo's on here thinks Trumps America will pick up the slack.

What if there’s no EU anymore? Not exactly a harmonious lot at the moment, are they?

What if there’s no EU anymore?

From a UK viewpoint? A sensible government would look at negotiating trading with our nearest neighbours i.e. France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium etc.

Just trade? I’d be up for that.

Unlikely to involve just trade mottie, that would be silly. No country just talks about trade alone.

 

[Mottie]

Well, no interest here then.

You don't wish the UK to trade/negotiate with ANY country? Mottie, do you seriously believe that all the new trade deals we negotiate with all those queueing up to deal with us, will involve trade only?

 

[JP_]

Well. like it or not, it's our only supply at the moment.

Taiwan sending us 1,000,000 masks
Turkey sending us 150,000 masks
China sending us 10,000,000 masks

Still not enough though.

Perhaps mottie is waiting for someone else to answer for him...

Yes

 

[noseall]

Yes

Despite the hostile tub thumping from Pritti, there will need to be concessions from the UK involving immigration from those countries we wish to deal with. Leaving the EU for instance won't turn of immigration like a tap. No doubt demographics will alter as will the availability.


Perhaps quitters think we can turn our back on all trading nations and be like North Korea.

Concessions

This is the UK

Foreigners will be the ones making Concessions

Foreigners

Them's the ones. You will find thousands of them - exhausted from tirelessly saving UK lives in UK hospitals. Would you like the supply of foreign workers to suddenly cease?
