Something of a misconception here.
It is not all cheap tat.
It is high quality electronics on which we depend for our daily lives.
TV Screens, mobiles, computer , the most reliable cars in the world.
It is not all cheap clothes from Primark.
To catch up with them we need to change dramatically.
Their unions do not fight the bosses, they work together.
They educate their children to a much higher standard than we do.
They have proper paid apprenticeships which turn out highly qualified workers with a job for life.
We have been taken over by the money men, the asset strippers, short term gain for the few.
We have a long way to go to get back to being a manufacturing country.
We can do it if we put our minds to it.

Our standards of living is unaffordable yet "entitlement-ism" is preventing the reduction that is needed and being delivered by the ever increasing issuing of Gilts and the housing sector providing more foreign debts.
Whatever remains after this Kung Flu is still very difficult to even guess much less forecast but ---- it's not going to be nice and NOTHING like what we had become used to.

We are short of the circuit boards needed for the electronics to manufacture them.
The list is endless and we are playing catchup.

{The race to deliver much-needed ventilators to hospitals fighting coronavirus received welcome news today from British entrepreneur Sir James Dyson. A spokesman for Dyson confirmed to Forbes that an initial order of 10,000 units from the U.K. government has been placed, and work will begin immediately at the historic airforce base RAF Hullavington.}
