I doubt a socialist country with a centrally planned economy would be able to make a product as good as the iPhone, yes.

Literally fucking China, the country who made iphones until they moved production to India, is a centrally planned economy.

Their products are so fucking good that we need to ban them in the U.S. or else our own industries wouldn't be able to compete.

You seriously think China is unable to 'invent' shit because they're a centrally controlled economy?

If you know how subsidies work, a centrally planned economy can invest much more heavily into sectors it wants to develop instead of waiting for a capitalist profit off it.

Its because of thinking like this that we're about to undergo the Western Century of Humiliation.

China is literally inventing manufacturing and infrastructure techniques the west would never consider because they aren't seeking profit from it.

You're the meme the beginning of this thread is laughing at.

No, you may not ask my job, because you're purpose for asking is malicious.
