The real moat is the cluster: 114 companies in one county. Only 30 make finished lighters. The other 84 make parts.

200+ components sourced within a 20km radius. New prototype parts same day.

15 billion lighters a year. 70% of the planet.

To keep that alive, one factory spent 4 years automating everything.

Workers: -80%. Output: +900%. Labor cost per lighter: ¥0.10 -> ¥0.015.

They now make ~10 million lighters a day with 3,000 people.

A disposable lighter made in China contains 27 precision parts — casing, wind shield, piezo ceramic, spring, wick, seal ring.

Retail price: ¥1. About 14 cents. It hasn't moved in 20 years.

Factory net profit in Shaodong, Hunan: ¥0.01 per unit. One cent.

真后悔在这个时间段在国内创业，已经死在了沙滩上，每天都被债务逼得睡不着，有没有高人来救一下

[Argus @Argus2ol]

刷了几天，果然现在 x 的吸粉，和国内的手段差不多，有说给你发钱的，只要你回复，有说出大事了（尤其这个，就跟前几年震惊，80 老太也要被.…），有故意挑起国际争议或者性别观念争议的，果然万变不离其宗

I'll also share whatever new and interesting things cross my path.Thanks for being here. Let's see where this goes.Opening my eyes to the world — starting today.

[Argus @Argus2ol]

So I'm starting this account to share the other side of it: genuinely good products from China that deliver absurd value for the price.If even one find makes your day-to-day cheaper or easier, worth posting.

[Argus @Argus2ol]

China can make far more than people can afford to buy right https://t.co/gdf6mHhrkR reminds me of Depression-era America (the Hoover years) — farmers pouring milk into rivers while families went hungry.I never understood that kind of despair. Now I do.
