China is the largest trading partner for most of the world. There is no country on this earth that does not depend on made in China. Still, while economics is an important study, it is by no means is it more important than the military. The Military is always one of the single greatest priorities a nation places for itself if not the most important priority. In fact, when we study economics, quite often than not. It is guns vs butter debate in how to allocate resources effectively so as to develop the unrivaled military we need while still not placing a heavy burden on the citizenry. So whenever there are things like unemployment and idle factories. That is often a fair excuse to ramp up military spending since crowding out unemployment and idle industrial capacity has little negative consequences to our production of butter.
As the domestic economy becomes more efficient and lays off workers because it previously needed X number of people to perform a certain job, now it only needs X - 2 to do the same job. The negative consequences to efficiency and progress is unemployment. By quickly allocating them towards military needs, we not only keep incomes constant, create employment security, but also help support our national interests.
In a perfect world where labor has been entirely abolished due to automation and machinery. What would we possibly do with our 1.3 billion citizenry who now no longer to need to lift a finger to acquire the goods and services they want, but at the same time do not have a job to go to?
Do we let them grow fat, or do we put them to use? Idleness gives rise to creative ideas, but it also creates bad habits.
Should allocate something to the production of guns in order to further national interests and goals.
