  • And therein lies the hypocritical pearl clutching by Europe. They were happy to outsource all those years ago and the bosses of the companies raked in profits whilst their employees were thrown onto the scrap heap. Meanwhile, the Chinese government ensured all the financial payoffs were ploughed back into the state where huge amounts were dished out for development. Europe can’t now complain that the chickens have come home to roost. We are seeing the long term consequences of outsourcing being played out in every country of Western Europe. Hollowed out industrial heartlands. Generations of families with lack of opportunities. Poor health and education because governments failed to properly tax the corporations that benefited massively from outsourcing. The rise of the far right preying on these grievances.
