Thank you to Tommy and Andy for inviting me to China and hosting me in Wuxi for my visit. Huge thank you to J. Lindeberg for their sponsorship! Let me know what you think about today's video 😀
I really appriciate your efforts to show the world about modern China. My husband loves China and try to change the prejudices around him. But you went much further. We know how hard it is. Respect!
Apart from a complete supply chain, China also provides homemade equipment, raw material, efficient logistics, a stable power supply, and a skillful, competitive labor source. I have not counted the largest use of industry robotic technology. China become the world factory for a reason.
The reasons for China's success were the huge labor force and small wages. Both are changing or did change already big time. Wages increased by a factor of 14-15 since the year 2000. The super strick lock downs interrupted many supply chains. Many connections that we were used to in terms of "globalization" until 2019 will not return. This Norwegian guy is biased and his company may do better than others which I can't judge. But corruption and most of all the massively declining population present a huge challenge for China in so many ways.
Fifty years ago I found a pair of red leather gloves. They are still going strong, despite considerable abuse. Recently I pulled the lining out a bit to dry them and there was a hidden label. It said “Made in China”.
I've been to over 200 factories in China. It's not only the textile factories that operate like this. From toy manufacturers to electronics, the supply chains are all integrated. Moving production to Vietnam, Malaysia, India, etc, most of the components are still coming from China, so it only increases transportation costs and lead time if something goes wrong in the supply chain. Large part of of the shift to outside of china is to avoid tariffs, and the anti-china propaganda.
What do you mean MNC cannot move supply chains out of China ? Please provide sample proof of a specific products like shoes. Chinese worker wages are rising to Americans and Japanese level and are more expensive than Thailand and Vietnam. Are this not good reason to move to Thailand and Vietnam ? Are the global consumers have to bear the rising cost of consumer products because greedy Wall Street fund managers stuck the fund in China ? Africa is very very cheap. Why are the MNC not setting up shoes and garment factories in Africa ? Are you saying Africans are hopeless and will be lousy workers forever ?
@@lvjinbin28 US is the biggest market in the world. What are you talking about ? China never have any good ports or high speed train or highway when China become top exporters. So you talking nonsense. ASEAN have good infrastructure and were once top exporter to US before 2000 when China joined WTO. Stop taling without solid facts.
@@zenlei8258 Where did i say you can't? Labor is not the only factor in overall costs. Canada just had a port strike affecting all imports. Anything that require components or parts to finish their products are affected, whether its delays or increased costs to fly them in. A shoe factory in Africa doesn't happen with a snap of a finger. Where do they setup the factory? In a rural village or near a city? Is there enough power? Where are the raw materials coming from? Will there be local protests, is extra security needed? Where are the equipment and machinery coming from, who's servicing them, etc. The factory Cyrus visited can have everything sourced locally. Can Africa at this very moment do it? In the future they probably can, but how long will that that? Look at USA's build back better with all that funding, where are all those factories they promised?
My first job in 1975 was in a sewing factory in New Zealand, and we had everything including the fabric cutting, but back then the cutters used these massive saw like things that looked like chainsaws to cut through the 50 odd layers of fabric they'd laid out. There were women who'd worked there for 15yrs, and not long after, everything started closing and moving to China. Primarily for cheaper labor, but now these same companies (not this guy) are looking for other countries to exploit cheap labor, like India and Bangladesh. So impressed that China has paid the people more as the country began making more profits, which as we've seen has lifted millions into a new middle class, which in itself allows these people to also purchase goods they never would have before, which in turn benefits the economy. But explain that to our economists who don't care about our economies at all, because multinational companies don't make money on their product but on speculation through the stock markets. One instance, is General Motors, who makes more money a year on the stock market than on their actual primary business making vehicles. China could have easily become any of the other Asian countries, who have a very wealthy minority while millions live in extreme poverty. It all comes down to the government, and luckily China has had very capable leaders and government since their independence.
That's very interesting that they make more money speculating in the markets than their products/services. This is probably why most things with an American name are overpriced and oftentimes inferior in quality to their Japanese/Asian counterparts.
@@Facts..Checker Yes exactly! The Hongkongers like to be ruled by Beijing, the Uyghurs like to live in camps, and Tibet has always been China, hasn't it? 🧐
Awesome video of an industry my mom toiled in. Its taken decades for China to build the foundation of a garment industry and becomes what it is today. Thanks Cyrus for the work you are doing.
The reason why China is winning is simple, its PHILOSOPHY. China does not only focus on the rich but also the poor. The Chinese understand what it means to be poor because they have experienced poverty it until recently. Low cost Chinese products have changed lives in poor parts of the world like Africa. A good example is affordable yet high quality Chinese motorbikes in Africa that have created millions of jobs for young people who would otherwise be jobless. Chinese mobile phones and network equipment have also connected millions across Africa. Kenya owes its fast internet speeds to Equipment made by firms like Huawei in China. Very soon China will make electric cars very affordable even to the poorest people in Africa thanks to its Sodium ion batterie tech that will make EVs very affordable. Western manufacturers will not beat China any time soon because they lack sensitivity and responsivenes when dealing with customers overseas which means they are always playing catch up.
In Apple and Tesla, the Americans might be holding on to the jewels of the crown, but they contribute much less to the lives of the majority. The ridiculous profit margin American brands demanded means that they would fail once the Chinese brands caught up. The American government would then use their political toolbox to hit the Chinese. That's their "ruled based order and values".
It is really enlightening and heartening to see how the bosses and workers build a successful and modern factory in China. Thanks Cyrus for making this video.
Cyrus, one of the pioneers of the textile industry in China is Allan Zeeman. Zeeman is a naturalized Chinese citizen from Canada. He’s been in China since the 70s. He’s the Chinese version of the American dream in that he came to China with a few hundred dollars in his pocket and became a multi billionaire.
Cyrus failed to show how well-planned and how integrated the textile industry is in China. In every textile-focused business park, there is one water-recycling plant included. Not only is water recycled, reused, but this lowers the total operating and environmental costs of the factories. That is textile factories in other countries cannot compete.
One more point: The local governments are highly competitive with their neighboring communities. They publish statistical reports that highlight their achievements. The reports include economic growth and environmental protections, etc. The higher achievers receive more rewards (and budget) from the regional governments. They take their work seriously.
The textiles use various color dyes ( water based ) to make colored clothing & accessories. The dyeing process & the resultant colored water must be treated before it is released back into the main water supply source. Or, it can be recycled in the ongoing manufacturing processes inside the factory.
Previously, China was once a poor, war-torn, starving country, but fast forward till today and China has since transformed into the world's 2nd largest economy (largest by GDP PPP), the factory of the world, having the world's 2nd largest R&D spending, protected by the world's largest land army, the _People's Liberation Army._
Fabulous work Cyrus around projecting positive side of China, what the West can truly learn and work together with China and other Asian countries for a Win-Win situation for a large part of the world and help making people prosperous
Few people know history, including Cyrus. China was the first to trade high-quality luxury merchandise in the world. I hope you can imagine the cheap stuff can't make money on the Silk Road. The goods on the Silk Road, such as silk, tea, and china, were so expensive, and the common Europeans were so poor and couldn't afford that only European royalties could afford them.

@@CyrusJanssen Appreciate the read and all the work yourself and others like @JasonLivinginChina @RafaGoesAround @BarrettYT @Reporterfy are doing. I am also trying thru my TH-cam channel to bring the softer, different perspective about China by covering some of our daily life events, happenings, places and @TheLighterSides of things around, but there is still a lot more to be done collectively (in a diversified community with varying perspective), persistently and respectfully
In India I worked in a factory in staff position and the owners used to pay minimum wage to the workers 9000 rupee's only, some of them worked for more then 5 years but the maximum the promotions got you to was 13000 Rupees only, while the Owner owned Audi, Mercedes and earned a heavy profit each year. They could have easily efford to double the the wages of all the workers without hitting thier profit margin much but they chose not to do so.
I worked in a Lee factory here in the USA when I was in my 20s. It was nowhere near as clean as that one in China. Im glad to know the employees are being treated better than back when i worked in a factory.
@@danielholland3991 What's the reality then? Probably massive camp with hundreds of millions of equipment to keep a few dozens workers at bay? Haha your reality is probably more interesting than my fever dreams, i'd like to visit it someday.
I've had a side gig as a technical interpreter for a few years now. Most of my jobs involve Chinese factories, some good, some bad. The "good ones" are absolutely on par with even the best European factories I've seen. Clean, well organized and with a clear focus on quality; just like the one in this video. I can totally see "Made in China" becoming a mark of quality someday.
@@TacticalMayo I think people who talk about "garbage" is either a destitute or a indigent and never gets a REAL job so he doesn't know the difference between garbage and treasure.
I was about to say every part of this video is so well put, then I saw the behind the scenes, and I knew why. 😂 We tend to forget how hard of a job it is to get a good production, therefore I say you are simply amazing Cyrus. Great job. Never thought I'll be able to see such an inside showcase of this magnitude. People are manage to believed every Chinese factory is the closest thing to hell. All the negative propaganda towards China in the western world is really shameful and this kind of job are great for educational purpose.
I'm so impressed how well you speak Chinese 👍 So many westerners are too lazy to learn the native language of where they've moved to, and set-up in expat villages, never really experiencing these countries or their cultures.
@@CyrusJanssen Nope. Says a lot about the owner. The owner wishes to drive down the cost of wages and to increase profits. China is a low wage country. Look at what has happened in the US where real wages for the bottom 80% of the population adjusted for inflation are equivalent to wages in the early 1970s however the cost of housing for example is far greater than can be accounted for than the increase in the cost of living over the same time period. All the benefits have accrued to the top 20% of the population at the expense of the bottom 80% of the population. Socialism, that feared and dreaded word, is the reason the European and US manufacturers are moving production to China while making sure the economies of Europe and N. A. are burdened with capitalism which is structured to benefit the top 20% of the population.

Hi Cyrus, here in Canada, I already find that high quality textile like beddings, clothes etc are all made in China. The cheap and low-quality textile are usually made in other countries like India, Bangladesh or Mexico.
I was in Vietnam in December. I asked some of the clothing vendors if their clothes are made locally. They said the cheap stuff are made in Vietnam, and the higher quality ones they import from China. I thought that was funny.
Natural order of events. When I was young the goods out of Japan were called “Jap crap” because the toys broke by the end of Christmas Day. But with time, all countries move up the quality chain until they become high quality and expensive, then the whole process starts again in a different country. Always has, always will.
There is a Chinese saying that goes "you get what you pay for". As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy high-end products. The quality of cheap products is not guaranteed
I visited China as a tourist ten years ago, and it was a real eye opener. They are a good hard working people. Add that to a total lack of labor unions and lawyers, and a well meaning employer, and you have a recipe for a good product for both the customer and the employees who makeit.
Very interesting and educational video about the complex supply chain and how a high end textile company in China operates. The Kalito employees clearly are happy.
About three years ago, I realized that the quality of several of my favorite clothing brands had declined. Because of staying at home in the early days of the virus epidemic, it is not safe to loot around in California. Stores are running promotions online. So I do a lot of online shopping at home. Especially with some of my favorite brands (prices between $200 and $1000), the quality of the fabric is not as good as it used to be. There are also cases of poor cutting skills and uncomfortable wearing. Even size is problematic. I looked carefully at their labels and found none were made in China. Now when you buy something, you must check whether the place of origin is China
I fell victim to this too. When I bought online clothes from my usual brand (M&S) during the pandemic, I cannot see the source of manufacture. The clothes were not of the same standards and not the cut I expect and feel comfortable to wear. I ended up having to give away the purchases.
@@watching-think203 And I can’t believe people spend $1000 for an item of clothing. You’re either one of the top 1%, or you’re a show-off. If the former, good for you. If the latter, I hope you spill ketchup on it…or perhaps gray poupon.
@@stpaulmercantile All I can tell you that every penny I made was legal and e very penny I spent was after tax and 10% sales tax. BTW. I was stayed at home for two years during the pandemic. So only used my travel budget to shopping
It is not easy to objectively discuss a grand global economic issue from a textile factory. But the actual business case is the most convincing. If you know China, the best way is to go deep into the front line to understand Chinese manufacturing. Thank you blogger for sharing!
Besides than Kalito, You Cyrus make great informative, entertaining and qood quality content my man. Not to mention, Impressive the way you speak the language so well and pronunciations, sounding just like you were a genuine Chinese.👍
Yet her boss Biden is still going head-on with the decoupling/derisking agenda on China. The Chinese have a saying to the effect "he isn't going to shed a tear until he sees the coffin".
In western countries like US and UK they force the chinese companies out of the country such as huawei and recently a non advanced semi conductor company in uk owned by the chinese is forced to sell its shareholding by the uk gov.
I believe you, for so, was I rob while in NY subway. Even though I have been very careful. Frightening experience, when at gunpoint for cash. Burst my delusion that US is great. puts me off totally from visiting again. Furthermore, it's filthy and outdated by comparison, but equivalent to India.
Thanks for showing us the rejuvenated Chinese factory ethics, treating workers as family "jia-ren'. Today's China lives her own unique philosophy. There is an old Chinese saying, "In poor, one takes care of one's humble self; when "reached", one should care for the realm".
I'm on a road trip through the heart of America from Yellowstone to Denver. Went through a small town with a shop selling cowboy boots. The owners proudly recommended new technology boots which are waterproof. They were made in China.
Tommy's dream of China, give us a golden tips that doing anything must start at the right place and right time, with all raw materials and accessories nearby, costwise and logistics also important. If he starts business before at his home town, maybe there's another story.
@@feedyourmind6713 Don't expect people living in China to speak as free as we do. The chinese in China, has to keep their social score high. I've been there and I totally love the country and the people, but it is not a democracy and people living there have to be careful with their words.
@@M_O_G I have been to China and have many Chinese friends to families still living there. People speak very freely and the government listens and change policies to suit their citizens. American democracy is freedom to elect officials that don't care about the people unless they are rich.
@M_O_G Not expecting China to be America as to speech, but my point was in refutation of the comment regarding Chinese environmental policy, which the records shows is one of the planets worst.
Thank you Cyrus for showing the positive aspects and outlook in industry and in finance in China, from the stand point of foreign owners. I also watched the last episode in Shenzhen. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Really hope there will be more Cyrus going to factories videos..... Every company i've worked for in recent years was relocating production line either to China or Mexico... in large part because we just don't have skilled labor in the US. These folks are sewing for 8 hours a day whereas in the West, you are not going to be able to find young people that can put down their cell phones for long enough to learn how to do this and if no young people are learning how to do this... you can't do local manufacturing...
Nice report Cyrus, it is a lovely sight to see happy Western business people pursue their ''Chinese dreams'' and how much prosperity and positivity win-win cooperation could bring to both China and the West.

Every capitalist country has a ruling class that controls its government to act in its interests. Private Property means private property for a country's ruling class. The idea that Western capitalism is transnational and China can join in for part of the spoils and profits is an illusion. The greed of the ruling classes and the tendency of profits to decline means that ruling class must come out to defend their national interests against both those living under the yoke of its foreign capital and the working class in their nations.
At 3:00 the interviewer stated that Apple make their iPhones in China .... not anymore ... Apple has closed Foxconn manufacturing in China ... the workers finally revolted against the "slavery " working conditions and Apple decided that instead of meeting normal international labor standards they would move the factories elsewhere.
@@CyrusJanssen You misled the viewers by mentioning Apples IPhone being manufactured in China. Apple has had so many issues with Foxconn and has started moving its production to India.
@@lissettelopez8331 not at all, vast majority of iPhones still made in India, and Foxconn is having major issues with moving there, it's not 100% certain they will manufacture a lot of iphone in India in future and even if they do, at MAXIMUM it would be 20% made in India, which means 80% still made in China

It's amazing factory and environment! Can you imagine in USA some boss stand up next to employee and give a hug like in this video? Nope. He is goings to be in trouble.
It's all for show really. What they do want, however, is for their competitors in Europe to decouple as much as possible and become reliant on the USA and its designated client states for trade. The strategy is a revival of the cold war isolation of China and Russia.
United States has 300 million consumers, but if China can transform our 1.4 billion people into consumers ourselves, then China would be the world's largest market (if we aren't already).

Hello Cyrus There’s this paper called the Epoch Times my father-in-law had subscribed for me a while back I know they’re an anti-CCP paper There’s many parts of the paper I like with respect to domestic politics in US But long before I read the paper I was already steeped in anti-CCP rhetoric and believed all the things that were reported about what the Chinese were doing … all the terrible things they were doing to their own people and throughout the world… but having seen your videos, and videos by the Duran and the New Atlas, etal… I’m not sure anymore…. But what I’m sure of is my government is controlled by an evil, endless war machine
These anti-China reporters are very good story tellers who can influence viewers' judgement. But I started to doubt about their stories when I realized everything they said about China is bad and evil and this is just impossible. How can a bad evil gov't improve the living standard of 1.4 billions people? Only a good efficiency gov't can accomplish the achievements of the modern China.
I have lived in America and now prefer to live here in China. Millions of Chinese travel overseas as tourists and return home afterwards. That puts the lie to Epoch Times and the Western Mainstream media.
Unfortunately, my daughter in law is member of the Falun Gong. She completely brainwashed by this terribly organization. It destroys her whole family. She lives in Australia.
I really like this Norwegian businessman and his principles and the American interviewer who did a great job with the interview. They both seemed to be very genuine in what they were saying, I'm very glad I watched this TH-cam video. I gave a like and subscribed.

What it means I don't want to know. I am deeply troubled by the fact that my wallet has been consistently losing money since the downfall of Tramp and the start of the new crown epidemic. After a period of constant decline and loss, I am acutely aware of the uncertain and challenging world of investing.
Three years ago, I suffered a major setback in the stock market, losing a significant amount of money and losing my confidence. However, fortunately, fate favored me and I met the superstar of the investment world "Dan Price, CFA"! His presence was like an investment savior and his expertise and experience became the key to my success. Under his guidance, I regained my confidence and learned the science of investment strategy and risk management. Now, I am no longer afraid of the volatility of the stock market, but full of optimism and anticipation for the future. Thanks to Dan Price's help, I have realized a magnificent comeback in my investment life, and I will continue to follow this investment superstar to create more wealth and success!
Great videos, thanks a lot. I also like the one on one you do with people. I am from Québec. I travelled in a small vw eurovan extensively in the USA. I was often confronted in discussions with people badmouthing China and saying on one side of the mouth...bring back manufacturing to the USA...and on the other side not wanting to pay. When I would say they should go and ask all the top executives why they don't pass on all the savings by Chinese manufacturing no answer was given. The truth is all these executives are making 1000 times the salary of a normal worker and secondly it is the company who determines what the quality of the product is going to be, not the Chinese manufacturing. But I always knew that one day China would be start to be more selective as the western world starts tu crumble from excessive consuming. Stay safe.I first set foot in China in 2007. Been back several times, total maybe 24 months. Married a Chinese woman met in Montreal. Now we are going back this fall for the winter and will be looking to settle in a small town. She has an apartment in Lanzhou.
Totally agreed: "..... it is the company who determines what the quality of the product is going to be, not the Chinese manufacturer. So, it's fair to say it's the company who decides to sell low end products to its consumers regardless the country of origin!.
Wonderful video revealing the Truth about quality manufacturing. Demonstrating seamless cooperation across different culture to make it a true success to benefit consumers
Congrats for this amazing channel. I think you have build a clearer idea for the foreign entrepreneurs who want to build a business in China. I worked for an company in Europe who wanted to export their products in China, my job was a kind of interpreter that I had to be the bridge of comunication between my boss and the chinese entrepreneurs, unfortunately my boss was a very arrogant people and was very disrespectful, it was a very embarrasing experience, I tried my best, but the fact is the fact. Anyway, the business was failed in the end. Chinese people are very friendly and efficient, if you are respectful and professional, you will have a great exprience dealing with them, and you can make good friends.
Thanks for this video. What can be learned from this video is China is notching up very high standard in manufacturing industry. In every country there are a few companies that are not law-abiding. They bring disgrace to the industries and a bad name for the countries. The governments and the industries should stop pointing fingers, but should come together to ensure consumers get the best quality goods. Help, not blame. The world will be a better place for all people.
Back in the 90s many textile factories went bankrupt. So was the state-owned factory my sister worked at. I remember every time I walked past the river beside her factory, the water was in strange green blue colors and the odor was incredibly pungent that could almost expel insects. In my career, I never had the opportunity to visit a textile factory again, but in early 2000s I was on a M&A project where a US company was looking to acquire a plywood manufacturer in China. I followed the folks from the US company to a few plywood mills in Jiangsu, Shandong and Zhejiang. The situations of these factories were rather different - the advanced and highly automated factory in Zhejiang was a very modern one whose managers were professionals, while a mill in Xuzhou was shockingly primitive where workers chainsawed wood logs without any protective gears in the dust and ash. I'd assume it's the same with the textile industry. The good ones are modern and environmentally friendly, while the bad apples may do business in ways in stark contrast.
Our garment division started in 72, it will be 51 years in a few months. 8 different machines to make a t-shirt doesn’t actually tell much of the story. For a plain t-shirt from fabric to in carton box ready to ship would have about 50 line items check list, each line item would average 3-5 steps or specifications. I’ve always discouraged friends who want to start a clothing brand as most have no idea how much detail is required before you even get to the fabric ordering stage. Have a very high success rate on this once they attempt to do the first tech pack for the first SKU/style. In over 15 years, i would say 95% of the attempts ended in my friends deciding that it wasn’t worth it..
In the West, if the quality is poor, it's because it's made in China. When the quality is good, they credit the brand and the company even when it's made in China. Earlier low quality high volume goods from China were made according to the Western companies' standards and market demands as well.
No doubt china could be next super power in economy in the world very industrialized... Key is the people hardworking can handle pressure in work, they can mass produce products in fast that other country can't do
They are already a super power in economy . The USAs economy is propped up by china without Chinese manufacturing the west will see a hike in inflation like no other and a massive recession/ depression , it was China that dragged the world out of a recession in 2008 literally by itself ....so economics wise China is already a super power ....
Remembered in a previous video Cyrus quoted someone of saying: China builds bridges and railways; U.S. builds military bases. The same seems also true in reverse direction: If a company wants to make a product used in trade war attacking others, it goes to U.S.; if a manufacturer wants to make a product improving people's lives everywhere (including the U.S.), it sets up shop in China.

Thanks for sharing your perspective! So true
What do you mean MNC cannot move supply chains out of China ?
Please provide sample proof of a specific products like shoes.

Are the global consumers have to bear the rising cost of consumer products because greedy Wall Street fund managers stuck the fund in China ?

@@zenlei8258 Where did i say you can't? Labor is not the only factor in overall costs. Canada just had a port strike affecting all imports. Anything that require components or parts to finish their products are affected, whether its delays or increased costs to fly them in.
A shoe factory in Africa doesn't happen with a snap of a finger. Where do they setup the factory? In a rural village or near a city? Is there enough power? Where are the raw materials coming from? Will there be local protests, is extra security needed? Where are the equipment and machinery coming from, who's servicing them, etc. The factory Cyrus visited can have everything sourced locally. Can Africa at this very moment do it? In the future they probably can, but how long will that that? Look at USA's build back better with all that funding, where are all those factories they promised?
My first job in 1975 was in a sewing factory in New Zealand, and we had everything including the fabric cutting, but back then the cutters used these massive saw like things that looked like chainsaws to cut through the 50 odd layers of fabric they'd laid out. There were women who'd worked there for 15yrs, and not long after, everything started closing and moving to China. Primarily for cheaper labor, but now these same companies (not this guy) are looking for other countries to exploit cheap labor, like India and Bangladesh.
So impressed that China has paid the people more as the country began making more profits, which as we've seen has lifted millions into a new middle class, which in itself allows these people to also purchase goods they never would have before, which in turn benefits the economy.
But explain that to our economists who don't care about our economies at all, because multinational companies don't make money on their product but on speculation through the stock markets. One instance, is General Motors, who makes more money a year on the stock market than on their actual primary business making vehicles.
China could have easily become any of the other Asian countries, who have a very wealthy minority while millions live in extreme poverty. It all comes down to the government, and luckily China has had very capable leaders and government since their independence.
Don't forget that corporations speculate on real estate beside punting on their stocks.
“……..since their independence”? when was that?
Oh shit, BBC is going to send CIA to finish you, just because you said something nice about China!
That's very interesting that they make more money speculating in the markets than their products/services. This is probably why most things with an American name are overpriced and oftentimes inferior in quality to their Japanese/Asian counterparts.

Awesome video of an industry my mom toiled in. Its taken decades for China to build the foundation of a garment industry and becomes what it is today. Thanks Cyrus for the work you are doing.
Workshop no more.
The reason why China is winning is simple, its PHILOSOPHY. China does not only focus on the rich but also the poor. The Chinese understand what it means to be poor because they have experienced poverty it until recently. Low cost Chinese products have changed lives in poor parts of the world like Africa. A good example is affordable yet high quality Chinese motorbikes in Africa that have created millions of jobs for young people who would otherwise be jobless. Chinese mobile phones and network equipment have also connected millions across Africa. Kenya owes its fast internet speeds to Equipment made by firms like Huawei in China. Very soon China will make electric cars very affordable even to the poorest people in Africa thanks to its Sodium ion batterie tech that will make EVs very affordable. Western manufacturers will not beat China any time soon because they lack sensitivity and responsivenes when dealing with customers overseas which means they are always playing catch up.
Well said! The EV Tesla are also using Chinese batteries for their cars.
In Apple and Tesla, the Americans might be holding on to the jewels of the crown, but they contribute much less to the lives of the majority. The ridiculous profit margin American brands demanded means that they would fail once the Chinese brands caught up. The American government would then use their political toolbox to hit the Chinese. That's their "ruled based order and values".
@@jplin888 The only problem with Tesla is the fact that few people can afford to buy one
I've never had one decent long lasting product made in China. It's cheap for a reason. Made in China means will need replacing soon.
Can always buy another. It's cheap.
It is really enlightening and heartening to see how the bosses and workers build a successful and modern factory in China. Thanks Cyrus for making this video.
Cyrus, one of the pioneers of the textile industry in China is Allan Zeeman. Zeeman is a naturalized Chinese citizen from Canada. He’s been in China since the 70s. He’s the Chinese version of the American dream in that he came to China with a few hundred dollars in his pocket and became a multi billionaire.
He is the man! Incredible story
Great success story ! Hope Allan Zeeman is now helping and assisting other young Chinese entrepreneurs in realising their dream as well today .
Cyrus failed to show how well-planned and how integrated the textile industry is in China. In every textile-focused business park, there is one water-recycling plant included. Not only is water recycled, reused, but this lowers the total operating and environmental costs of the factories. That is textile factories in other countries cannot compete.
One more point: The local governments are highly competitive with their neighboring communities. They publish statistical reports that highlight their achievements. The reports include economic growth and environmental protections, etc. The higher achievers receive more rewards (and budget) from the regional governments. They take their work seriously.
The recycling of water rests mainly on the fact that they've serious fresh water supply issues.
Meritocracy vs democracy
@@somethinglikethisone6635 Which do you assign which to?
The textiles use various color dyes ( water based ) to make colored clothing & accessories.
The dyeing process & the resultant colored water must be treated before it is released back into the main water supply source. Or, it can be recycled in the ongoing manufacturing processes inside the factory.
Previously, China was once a poor, war-torn, starving country, but fast forward till today and China has since transformed into the world's 2nd largest economy (largest by GDP PPP), the factory of the world, having the world's 2nd largest R&D spending, protected by the world's largest land army, the _People's Liberation Army._

Few people know history, including Cyrus. China was the first to trade high-quality luxury merchandise in the world. I hope you can imagine the cheap stuff can't make money on the Silk Road. The goods on the Silk Road, such as silk, tea, and china, were so expensive, and the common Europeans were so poor and couldn't afford that only European royalties could afford them.

@@CyrusJanssen Appreciate the read and all the work yourself and others like @JasonLivinginChina @RafaGoesAround @BarrettYT @Reporterfy are doing. I am also trying thru my TH-cam channel to bring the softer, different perspective about China by covering some of our daily life events, happenings, places and @TheLighterSides of things around, but there is still a lot more to be done collectively (in a diversified community with varying perspective), persistently and respectfully
In India I worked in a factory in staff position and the owners used to pay minimum wage to the workers 9000 rupee's only, some of them worked for more then 5 years but the maximum the promotions got you to was 13000 Rupees only, while the Owner owned Audi, Mercedes and earned a heavy profit each year. They could have easily efford to double the the wages of all the workers without hitting thier profit margin much but they chose not to do so.
Greed
I worked in a Lee factory here in the USA when I was in my 20s. It was nowhere near as clean as that one in China. Im glad to know the employees are being treated better than back when i worked in a factory.
Thank you Cyrus for showing us the real Chinese factory look like.

That the Norwegian opened a factory in China, and not Europe, says a lot about China.
Couldn't agree more! His family comes from a textile business in Norway and he came to China to build the business
@@CyrusJanssen Nope. Says a lot about the owner. The owner wishes to drive down the cost of wages and to increase profits. China is a low wage country. Look at what has happened in the US where real wages for the bottom 80% of the population adjusted for inflation are equivalent to wages in the early 1970s however the cost of housing for example is far greater than can be accounted for than the increase in the cost of living over the same time period. All the benefits have accrued to the top 20% of the population at the expense of the bottom 80% of the population. Socialism, that feared and dreaded word, is the reason the European and US manufacturers are moving production to China while making sure the economies of Europe and N. A. are burdened with capitalism which is structured to benefit the top 20% of the population.

the EU has so many regulations it will never manufacture anything in the EU again.
That it still needs to complete it's decolonization.
Hi Cyrus, here in Canada, I already find that high quality textile like beddings, clothes etc are all made in China. The cheap and low-quality textile are usually made in other countries like India, Bangladesh or Mexico.
I was in Vietnam in December. I asked some of the clothing vendors if their clothes are made locally. They said the cheap stuff are made in Vietnam, and the higher quality ones they import from China. I thought that was funny.
Really?
Natural order of events. When I was young the goods out of Japan were called “Jap crap” because the toys broke by the end of Christmas Day. But with time, all countries move up the quality chain until they become high quality and expensive, then the whole process starts again in a different country. Always has, always will.
There is a Chinese saying that goes "you get what you pay for". As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy high-end products. The quality of cheap products is not guaranteed
Puff piece.
I visited China as a tourist ten years ago, and it was a real eye opener. They are a good hard working people. Add that to a total lack of labor unions and lawyers, and a well meaning employer, and you have a recipe for a good product for both the customer and the employees who makeit.
Not only 300 workers but it is 300 families.
Nice thought 🙏🌹🌹
Very interesting and educational video about the complex supply chain and how a high end textile company in China operates. The Kalito employees clearly are happy.
they're happy because most other textile factories don't have orders and have shut down and are now employed.
About three years ago, I realized that the quality of several of my favorite clothing brands had declined. Because of staying at home in the early days of the virus epidemic, it is not safe to loot around in California. Stores are running promotions online. So I do a lot of online shopping at home. Especially with some of my favorite brands (prices between $200 and $1000), the quality of the fabric is not as good as it used to be. There are also cases of poor cutting skills and uncomfortable wearing. Even size is problematic. I looked carefully at their labels and found none were made in China. Now when you buy something, you must check whether the place of origin is China
I fell victim to this too. When I bought online clothes from my usual brand (M&S) during the pandemic, I cannot see the source of manufacture. The clothes were not of the same standards and not the cut I expect and feel comfortable to wear. I ended up having to give away the purchases.
For $200-$1000, you can buy a car from china.
@@stpaulmercantile Can't believe it
@@watching-think203 And I can’t believe people spend $1000 for an item of clothing. You’re either one of the top 1%, or you’re a show-off. If the former, good for you. If the latter, I hope you spill ketchup on it…or perhaps gray poupon.
@@stpaulmercantile All I can tell you that every penny I made was legal and e very penny I spent was after tax and 10% sales tax. BTW. I was stayed at home for two years during the pandemic. So only used my travel budget to shopping
Marvelous insights for a Westerner who appreciates China's efforts to improve the human race !
It is not easy to objectively discuss a grand global economic issue from a textile factory. But the actual business case is the most convincing. If you know China, the best way is to go deep into the front line to understand Chinese manufacturing. Thank you blogger for sharing!
The quality of the product is impressive and the future is still in China. When you have setup and infra already, improving the quality is very easy.

Every capitalist country has a ruling class that controls its government to act in its interests. Private Property means private property for a country's ruling class. The idea that Western capitalism is transnational and China can join in for part of the spoils and profits is an illusion. The greed of the ruling classes and the tendency of profits to decline means that ruling class must come out to defend their national interests against both those living under the yoke of its foreign capital and the working class in their nations.
It's because the West can no longer compete on a level playing field. Their only hope (they think) is sanctions and threats.

It's all for show really. What they do want, however, is for their competitors in Europe to decouple as much as possible and become reliant on the USA and its designated client states for trade. The strategy is a revival of the cold war isolation of China and Russia.
Might end up being the USA and it's vassals being isolated from the rest of the world ....
America has already begun to leave China for India and Vietnam. Once Trump becomes president, we’re taking back our manufacturing.

Hello Cyrus
There’s this paper called the Epoch Times my father-in-law had subscribed for me a while back
I know they’re an anti-CCP paper
There’s many parts of the paper I like with respect to domestic politics in US
But long before I read the paper I was already steeped in anti-CCP rhetoric and believed all the things that were reported about what the Chinese were doing … all the terrible things they were doing to their own people and throughout the world… but having seen your videos, and videos by the Duran and the New Atlas, etal… I’m not sure anymore….
But what I’m sure of is my government is controlled by an evil, endless war machine
These anti-China reporters are very good story tellers who can influence viewers' judgement. But I started to doubt about their stories when I realized everything they said about China is bad and evil and this is just impossible. How can a bad evil gov't improve the living standard of 1.4 billions people? Only a good efficiency gov't can accomplish the achievements of the modern China.
The epoch times is the mouthpiece of the Falun Gong and the CIA ....I wouldn't use it as toilet paper ....
I have lived in America and now prefer to live here in China. Millions of Chinese travel overseas as tourists and return home afterwards. That puts the lie to Epoch Times and the Western Mainstream media.
Agree fully, epoch times is an evil mouthpiece of the kabal gang.
Unfortunately, my daughter in law is member of the Falun Gong. She completely brainwashed by this terribly organization. It destroys her whole family. She lives in Australia.
I really like this Norwegian businessman and his principles and the American interviewer who did a great job with the interview. They both seemed to be very genuine in what they were saying, I'm very glad I watched this TH-cam video. I gave a like and subscribed.

The Chinese people disagree with Kalito, It western Companies treat Chinese worker better then Chinese companies.
What it means I don't want to know. I am deeply troubled by the fact that my wallet has been consistently losing money since the downfall of Tramp and the start of the new crown epidemic. After a period of constant decline and loss, I am acutely aware of the uncertain and challenging world of investing.
Three years ago, I suffered a major setback in the stock market, losing a significant amount of money and losing my confidence. However, fortunately, fate favored me and I met the superstar of the investment world "Dan Price, CFA"! His presence was like an investment savior and his expertise and experience became the key to my success. Under his guidance, I regained my confidence and learned the science of investment strategy and risk management. Now, I am no longer afraid of the volatility of the stock market, but full of optimism and anticipation for the future. Thanks to Dan Price's help, I have realized a magnificent comeback in my investment life, and I will continue to follow this investment superstar to create more wealth and success!

Great videos, thanks a lot. I also like the one on one you do with people. I am from Québec. I travelled in a small vw eurovan extensively in the USA. I was often confronted in discussions with people badmouthing China and saying on one side of the mouth...bring back manufacturing to the USA...and on the other side not wanting to pay. When I would say they should go and ask all the top executives why they don't pass on all the savings by Chinese manufacturing no answer was given. The truth is all these executives are making 1000 times the salary of a normal worker and secondly it is the company who determines what the quality of the product is going to be, not the Chinese manufacturing. But I always knew that one day China would be start to be more selective as the western world starts tu crumble from excessive consuming. Stay safe.I first set foot in China in 2007. Been back several times, total maybe 24 months. Married a Chinese woman met in Montreal. Now we are going back this fall for the winter and will be looking to settle in a small town. She has an apartment in Lanzhou.
Totally agreed: "..... it is the company who determines what the quality of the product is going to be, not the Chinese manufacturer.
So, it's fair to say it's the company who decides to sell low end products to its consumers regardless the country of origin!.
We are similar couples in Montreal like you. We also think of moving back to Guangzhou.
@@beatricewan9958 The companies make decisions based on their targeted consumers and profit margins.
@@hyc1266 Target groups still decided by the companies !
You already master excellent Mandarin/Chinese! 加油！
Wonderful video revealing the Truth about quality manufacturing. Demonstrating seamless cooperation across different culture to make it a true success to benefit consumers
Awesome, Sir! Thank you for presenting the real China to the world!
My pleasure!
Congrats for this amazing channel. I think you have build a clearer idea for the foreign entrepreneurs who want to build a business in China. I worked for an company in Europe who wanted to export their products in China, my job was a kind of interpreter that I had to be the bridge of comunication between my boss and the chinese entrepreneurs, unfortunately my boss was a very arrogant people and was very disrespectful, it was a very embarrasing experience, I tried my best, but the fact is the fact. Anyway, the business was failed in the end. Chinese people are very friendly and efficient, if you are respectful and professional, you will have a great exprience dealing with them, and you can make good friends.
Thank you Cyrus for adding the subtitle！Very helpful for a English learner😊
Great video. Most interesting and informative. Keep it up👍👍👏👏
Thanks for this video. What can be learned from this video is China is notching up very high standard in manufacturing industry. In every country there are a few companies that are not law-abiding. They bring disgrace to the industries and a bad name for the countries. The governments and the industries should stop pointing fingers, but should come together to ensure consumers get the best quality goods. Help, not blame. The world will be a better place for all people.
Back in the 90s many textile factories went bankrupt. So was the state-owned factory my sister worked at. I remember every time I walked past the river beside her factory, the water was in strange green blue colors and the odor was incredibly pungent that could almost expel insects. In my career, I never had the opportunity to visit a textile factory again, but in early 2000s I was on a M&A project where a US company was looking to acquire a plywood manufacturer in China. I followed the folks from the US company to a few plywood mills in Jiangsu, Shandong and Zhejiang. The situations of these factories were rather different - the advanced and highly automated factory in Zhejiang was a very modern one whose managers were professionals, while a mill in Xuzhou was shockingly primitive where workers chainsawed wood logs without any protective gears in the dust and ash. I'd assume it's the same with the textile industry. The good ones are modern and environmentally friendly, while the bad apples may do business in ways in stark contrast.
China next level ❤❤❤
Great interview with both owners and overview of the factory floor staff and equipment.
China produces high-quality, medium quality and low quality products catering to all customers financial capabilities.
Our garment division started in 72, it will be 51 years in a few months. 8 different machines to make a t-shirt doesn’t actually tell much of the story. For a plain t-shirt from fabric to in carton box ready to ship would have about 50 line items check list, each line item would average 3-5 steps or specifications.
I’ve always discouraged friends who want to start a clothing brand as most have no idea how much detail is required before you even get to the fabric ordering stage. Have a very high success rate on this once they attempt to do the first tech pack for the first SKU/style. In over 15 years, i would say 95% of the attempts ended in my friends deciding that it wasn’t worth it..
thanks for the very interesting inview about Kaliko
In the West, if the quality is poor, it's because it's made in China. When the quality is good, they credit the brand and the company even when it's made in China. Earlier low quality high volume goods from China were made according to the Western companies' standards and market demands as well.
Truly an awesome video!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
No doubt china could be next super power in economy in the world very industrialized... Key is the people hardworking can handle pressure in work, they can mass produce products in fast that other country can't do
They are already a super power in economy . The USAs economy is propped up by china without Chinese manufacturing the west will see a hike in inflation like no other and a massive recession/ depression , it was China that dragged the world out of a recession in 2008 literally by itself ....so economics wise China is already a super power ....
Thanks Cyrus for independent n informed info of China
Remembered in a previous video Cyrus quoted someone of saying: China builds bridges and railways; U.S. builds military bases. The same seems also true in reverse direction: If a company wants to make a product used in trade war attacking others, it goes to U.S.; if a manufacturer wants to make a product improving people's lives everywhere (including the U.S.), it sets up shop in China.
''MADE IN CHINA''means high QUALITY and good PRICE,It has been proved by theses years !no other country can replace
