I hope you enjoy this video! There's a bit of a unique situation in this video where the sponsor is partially the subject of the video as well. This is because they were able to give me a level of access that normally would not have been possible (Chinese factories are not easy to film in.) I want to stress that I did have creative control over the video but take my presentation with a grain of salt nonetheless. I visited a well-regarded, ethical factory which isn't necessarily a reflection of all factories in China, as you may know. I also didn't cover some of the issues with manufacturing in China and other less-developed countries since I was taking a more holistic, economic view rather than a person view.
Wendover Productions at the beginning of the video you use the term "dark ages" - just FYI historians no longer use that term to describe that period of history because it's simply a poor description of the period.
What's fascinating is that Shenzhen grew from being three times smaller than my town to being three times larger, by population, than my whole country!

I went to Shenzen in 1989 - the tallest buildings were single storey warehouses and the road between Shenzen and Macau was 2 lanes, but bicycles 3 deep occupied the edges so it was effective single lane "with passing". There wasn't even a direct road from New Territory (Kowloon) so you had to go via Macau by ferry, then 1 hour by jalopy! Today, it has 22 million population and over 50 buildings at 100 storeys. Say what you will - that is MEGA progress in really short time!!!

As an experimenter and solar innovator I buy lots of hardware from China. Mostly electronics but also hydraulics, motors, flow gauges, all kinds of things. I've been very impressed by the quality overall. In some cases I cannot find equivalent products here in Canada, such as the ultra-low power consuming three port motorized valve in my boiler room. All my solar pumps are Chinese. My evacuated tube water heating panels are Chinese. All are great. Jim Kuan below pointed out that American importers only bring in the very cheapest Chinese products to sell to the Walmart crowd, thus giving consumers the impression that Chinese products are shoddy. Nothing could be further from the truth. China makes terrific goods, if you know where to look and are willing to pay a fair price. Cheers from Canada.
@Zsavage1 So... like many asian inventions that came through the silk road and europe took inspiration from back when it was ass backwards? Like gunpowder, for example? I always laugh at the argument of 'stealing' technology. It has happened countless times before, it will happen again. And it's only stealing depending on where you draw the line. Even in europe, countries stole tech from each other. Look at tank designs inspired by the T34. Or how the whole american space program is built on nazi german rocket research. Even within a country, groups and individuals 'stole' from each other. The truth is, all technology is built on something before it. It is the natural course of its development. Look up the expression 'standing on the shoulders of giants'. No doubt, in the far future, if china or some other country surpasses the technological development of, say, europe, europeans will be the ones stealing. And that will be fine.
@@Maxflay3r Also, if I was a company in China who was producing tech goods for the American or European markets, where people often feel entitled to expect quality at a cheap price, then I sure would decide to make my own at an even cheaper price. As far as copying or bootlegging Hollywood movies, screw them. They make enough money producing mostly crappy films as it is. Hollywood is all about the money-making cultural garbage that doesn't do the world any good.

@J Johnson even if we exclude wartime stealing, the only reason it took longer in the past was due to how slow communication used to be. We enjoy an unprecedented speed of information due to the rise of the internet. Back then it took months of traveling along an uncertain trade route, not to mention the years and decades it took for a new thing to spread and be adapted. If medieval Europeans had access to high speed optic fibre communications, I doubt they would have given a shit whether a certain alchemic formula was "patented" in China or not.

The video hasn't mentioned there is a brand in Shenzhen: Huawei! My parents moved to Shenzhen in 1984 when I was 1 year old. I grew up with this city and I've seen huge development and changes. And it is still far from the end of its development.
Yeah I agree. They didnt mention all the other tech companies there either. I met a white lady born and raised in Shenzhen, she works for a start up there and spoke perfect Mandarin and her parents are from London. She came to the US with her team to advertise their product, it had something to do with automation for businesses
Honestly, Anker has such a strong brand that I had no idea it was China based. They've certainly earned their good reputation with me. *looks over at my Anker battery and all my Anker charge cables*
I am German and the name sounds very german which is why I thought it’s a German brand. It was actually one of the reasons why I bought my anker portable battery lol
Property in Shenzhen is, on average, more expensive than San Fransisco and other major cities, yet residents make $3 an hour? Its just...I cant... WHAT?
Most of those factory workers to do not come from Shenzhen. They come from rural parts of China, villages mostly. you dont expect degree holders to work in factories right lol.
Those who spend between $ 3 and $ 4 an hour can not buy a house in Shenzhen. They have land and houses in his hometown. And the Chinese government has made it easier for these low-wage people to return home at any time through faster railways, so there is no need to buy a house in Shenzhen.
@johnlocke445 which west are you refering to? Every country has different policies 🤔 For properties to have value i am sure most reasons you stated would not have mattered say for someone whose property appreciated by 30-50 times of its costs compared to a property which never appreciates yet you're paying property taxes month after month and the government repossess it in the event you're unable to afford it. Get ny drift?
No, we pay the taxes! We pay the new Tariffs! Who gets the money? Our government, of course, to do with what they want! You got a small tax cut but are now paying higher sales taxes, and higher prices, thanks Trump!
Best design and ideas are from the US. But if you want to make it. You need to go to Shenzhen. You can buy ideas or hire professors. But you cannot move a whole industry and millions of workers. So Shenzhen is somehow unique.

I went to Shenzhen because I wanted to build my own PC. They sell “parts” parts. Instead of motherboards and graphics cards, they sell legitimate resistors, microchips, soldering lines, led, and all the little parts that make electronics at ridiculous low prices. Like if you ask the store clerk for LAN cable, they sell you by length and normally 100m on a wheel. Needless to say I could “build a PC” from those parts
China can produce any quality of products. But American importers only want to import $1 cost products and sell them at $20. Thus the appearance of cheap Chinese products.
What innovation is required for manufacturing? You give a manufacturer your required specifications, if they can't meet them, they have not met the requirements of any standard contract (I'm sure). Sure a manufacturer could be innovative, and suggest ways to save cost or improve quality, but a customer may not care for either.
I used to work in a store that was selling equpitment for exteme sports but all top notch quality. They had jackets for snowboarding that would be up to 800 euros but all were made in china. Deisgned in switzerland but made in china. And the store owner told me that even if the swiss wanted to make the jackets at home they still wouldn't be able to match the production quality in china. We look down on that ''made in china '' label but think about it : for how long have they been making stuff ? I think by now,they prefected every single thing.

Respect to China from India. I have seen so many videos about China and I'd like to say that Chinese people are one of the most hardworking people in the world,just like Japanese and South Koreans. China even built the longest bridge in the ocean recently!! Well done Chinese people, Well done.
As a Chinese, I admire Indian.Chinese culture has one & only one standard of success : MONEY. Indian is more on the spiritual side,like yoga & meditation, these aspect is way above money.
good news about Chinese never been reported, recently Insider even refuse to mention mooncake is chinese instead they called it Asian and can be found in All Asian markets... like Bangaldesh, Indian and Pakistani market.... It's so infuriating to see how british and other western media manipulate their news to get the world to hate Chinese because China is growing to become more powerful.
Shenzhen is a unique case. First of all, Shenzhen is actually not the "factory" but the "development lab" of China (and possibly the world's). In terms of PCT patent issued, Shenzhen accounts for 8-9% of the world (And half of the total PCT issued in China). The two other places that have similar sized PCT total are Tokyo and San Francisco Bay Area. So Shenzhen is really the innovation hub of the world. A lot of Apple and Samsung's technologies are actually developed in Shenzhen. World-renowned technology companies like Huawei, Tencent(Wechat), TP-Link, Mindray, DJI, BYD, ZTE are all based in Shenzhen. The close proximity to manufacturing lines actually references to the factories in nearby cities as Shenzhen is way too expensive for them to stay ( Shenzhen has the highest GDP per capita, highest paying jobs and highest percentage of well-educated population in China). 2. Shenzhen is also the financial hub of China, some of the biggest banks, insurance companies and real-estate companies in China are based in Shenzhen. 3. Surprise! Shenzhen is actually the one of the cleanest cities in China. 4. Shenzhen is very expensive in a lot of ways (for example real-estates), but the average income is also very high.
Yeah. Development there is scary. I went there once for a week, and they began construction of some supermarket area as I arrived. And by the time I left, they finished construction.
Sunway TaihuLight is the world fastest supercomputer in the world build with Chinese designed chips and designed in China.(93 Petaflops) Tianhe 2 is the world second fastest supercomputer build with intel chips and designed in China.(33 Petaflops). The first exascale supercomputer is almost finished. Also designed and built in China. (1 exaFlop=1000 Petaflops) If American supercomputer firma's already have trouble with understanding how the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer is build on such a small footprint with much better power efficiency than Intel chips or Nvidia GPU's. How can they understand the new exascale supercomputer. China already stopped copying in some industries, they already left that stage behind.
Now I finally know why the currency difference are so huge between China and the west. I'm from HK and our current is even a little cheaper than Chinese ones.

At Britain's time, products made in Germany were seen as craps. Later, products made in America took the crap position. Then, products made in Japan became the new craps. However, they all washed away the crap names gradually. I guess products made in China are also changing in quality now.
Everything centralized to manufacture. Designers engineers raw materials machinery logistics shipping etc. Core of success is it's infrastructure and shipping hubs which is built for world's biggest exports in mind.
Honest non-sponsored comment - The two Anker batteries I have, as well as chargers far exceed my expectations. They hold their charge for more or less forever, charge quick as advertised, and the design feels premium... I seriously did not realize it was a Chinese brand. I have used other Chinese brands in the past and haven't been disappointed, but they were on the cheaper feel side. Anker's stuff is a different class.
Anker is Indonesian brand in China. It is also a Heineken beer label name too (same name). So is the cheapish GT tyres (botj wete made in Indonesia till about 2000. Everyone thinks GT Tyre is gran turismo but no it is "gadjah tunggal" sanskrit (lynchpin of the world).
Wow dude, I have been living in Shenzhen for years now. I would never expected to see an episode about the place. Some details are a little off but great episode, couldn't agree more!
@@JyotiSharma-ih8lp A Chinese company created by a man from China who resided in the states a little while before heading back and starting Anker. Get your facts straight or shut the fuck up.
Same here. I bought a multi-port USB charger from them back in 2013 and it only now recently started having problems. Had other chargers that would only last a year or two before dying. Have a portable chargers and another multi-port USB chargers and those things have been solid. Many people think Chinese electronics and they think cheap and low quality. There is nothing cheap or low quality about Anker.
It's no longer about the wages. India, Bangladesh and other countries have even cheaper labor. What really sets China apart is this: 1. Energy. China has been securing energy deals very aggressively all over the world. You don't get power outages in China like you do in India. 2. Rare earth minerals. Probably the most important point. China produces a lot of the stuff and has limited or even banned the exports of rare earth minerals. So, if you want to build electronics, you need to open factories in China. Those two aspects are far more important then the rest. Wages will keep going up in China, but companies need the rare earth minerals that China is producing. There are no alternatives.
Alex1986Sevilla Power outages in India are also not common these days . Surely , there are some isolated parts of the country and rural areas but power outages are rare . In cities , it doesn't happen now . Even in my village , power doesn't go off . Even if it does , it's for like only 30 minutes in a day . So we brought an inverter battery and charge it up . It is super cheap and lasts for 2 days at max .
India was late to the party and China was there first. China opened its doors around 1978 whereas India in the year 1991. That makes part of the difference why China has an upper hand in manufacturing. Things move slowly in India because you have to appease a lot of people, not the case in China simply due to the fact in China government has absolute control. We Indians should look more in alleviating poverty and educating the next generation of Indians rather than considering ourselves competing with China.
+Karthik C You need to compete with China. As a Chinese I see the Chinese government already pushing you around. If you don't catch up soon you're screwed.
@@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi In fact, I think the ban on Chinese products is stupid. There is a large trade deficit between China and India, and Chinese companies have invested heavily in India in order to make profits. Driving out Chinese businesses will only deprive India of the opportunity to earn back its trade deficit and spend higher prices on Western products.
Anker makes good low price chargers and power banks btw. Cheap on Amazon, work great. They've been my go-to for that stuff for years. Kudos to them bringing you out.
They played politics really well. Since even as far back as the sixties, the US Gov gave the Chinese both the plans and the machinery to the M14 rifles. Back when they were Commies and we were supposedly at war. Then bring on the 90s, and you have that happening to whole factories in the US across sectors. If not for the corruption in the US, China never would of been able to suck so much wealth out of the US and expand anywhere near as fast as it did. MAGA the tariffs are helping.
You obviously do not understand how Tariffs and Manufacturing protection laws work. Many countries have them on the books, and if Not for NAFTA and later President's actions, any country that moved a factory out of the US, would be either facing such a large Tariff it was unprofitable, if they were not simply banned from doing business in the US altogether, as there are nations on this planet that would use that as a penalty. The CIA funneled weapons, money, and training through more than just China, those operations in Afghanistan, which later bit us in the ass, would of succeeded with or without them. Those wars were indeed wasted blood and treasure, and went against the will of the people. But those expenditures were minimal compared to the amount of wealth willingly transferred from the US Economy over the past three decades, to most notably China. If China were truly forced to play on a level playing field, and pay proper penalties for breaking international trade agreements, they would not have amassed the wealth they did, in such a short time. I am not saying the Chinese are incapable, they have been a powerful nation many times in the past, and can be again, but sucking the lifeblood out of the US, accelerated the process beyond what they could have done organically.
People really don't need to waste money on all the cheap crap coming from China anyway. Hell perhaps the quality of many items would be higher and it would be cost effective to repair things. China tying up Russian troops being a leading role in Afghanistan is dicey at best. Its like saying Alaska being within striking distance of Russia put them or us on edge which was baseless. The Russians had nukes, which meant any Communist Chinese horde marching north would of been nuked once they got within a certain amount of kilometers into Soviet soil. So no China didn't really merit tying up that many Soviet resources. There were military commanders and politicians, who mysteriously died, at the end of WW2 saying we fought the wrong people. We probably did, but on the flip side, the US spent far, far more money developing nukes, than we ever spent maintaining an armed force. Much of that expenditure would of been spent regardless, with only a portion being for the wars. Technically part of my life was before all the outsourcing, and I could watch as my Nation started dying as all of that wealth, factories, jobs, were sucked out of this Nation due to trade deals made by corrupt politicians to benefit the Chinese. It is the responsibility of the Chinese government to improve the lives of their people, but raiding the US to do it, is not something I condone of my government doing. It taking the election of Donald Trump to see a change to this took far too long. If you go back far enough in US history my people were just as thoroughly taken advantage of, allowing companies to do that to other nations people, and still have access to our markets merely allowed it to continue, after we had eradicated it here, which is something you should not want.
Afghanistan has never, ever been worth anything for the ground it is. It has always been a backwater, where nations playing the great game, lose lives and treasure. If the USSR really cared about it, they would of properly sent troops, much like when the USA went into Afghanistan, our leaders cared more about invading elsewhere, then properly invading the one country the nations people agreed to go to war for. I highly doubt the threat of Chinese troops, made that large an impact on the USSR's troop deployments in China. Communist China was already firmly established as a slaughterer of millions of their own civilians by the time the traitors in the US gave them the M14 Rifle plans and production tools, in the 1960s, during the Vietnam War era. General Patton is indeed the most obvious and famous example. And technically it occurred just after victory in Europe and the cessation of hostilities there. Given the sheer cost in human lives, almost every Communist regime has inflicted upon its own, and neighboring populations, has indeed shined it as a force in the world that should never be allowed to come into power. Much of the propaganda against Germany and National Socialism, was merely that false lies and propaganda. If anything in hindsight, we should have allied with the Germans against the Soviets, and stamped out Communism before it drained two of the worlds largest nations and decades to do so. My nation is indeed in decline. The loss of factories has turned many once thriving towns and cities into rotting ghost towns. Families ripped apart just to find work, and an increase in crime, forced acceptance of nonconforming immigrants, and a decline in much of what allowed the nation to prosper. This having been a result of utterly stupid, if not seditious trade policies. Among other things. There is a difference between mutually beneficial trade, and your idea of sharing prosperity. A good economic relationship benefits both sides, not one side unilaterally, which had been the relationship between China and the US since Bill Clinton was President. You seem to be under the impression that factories, and economies are finite, that there is a pie only so big and you must take your share. A truly healthy economic system grows, but then again, the founding principles of Communism would not allow for such a thing. Hence why China today had to veer so far from Mao. Instead of stealing American factories, you could have built your own, and sold your products, like any other entrepreneur, My people should not of been forced to subsidize you, your own government should have. I will not dispute the US spends too much on military spending, I would prefer we were not the world's policeman. Let other nations foot the bill for keeping themselves safe, and sea lanes free of pirates. Something China has benefited from greatly. Our past poltiicans have left us with responsibilities I would love my nation to pull out of. Fixing the damage caused by our trading relationship with China and others, but most notably China, is one of the major factors of fixing our house. Stopping the flow of illegals, and deporting many of the unneeded and illegal wards of the state is another. Hell, a large portion of the Visa over-stayers we need to deport come from China, among others of course.

basically 1. China's business ecosystem has evolved to make it a more efficient and cost-effective place to manufacture products. 2. Chinese manufacturers generally operate under a much more permissive regulatory environment. 3. Artificially depressing the value of its currency in order to keep the price of its goods lower than those produced by foreign competitors.
Manufactures look at two main items. Can a country manufacture my product with at least 85% quality, and how cheaply! In the 1970 I worked for Motorola Automotive Products Division. We invented the electronic ignition system for Ford. Ford retails the control module for $350.00 each. If manufactured in the US it cost $180.00 per unit. So it was sent to Japan and the cost per unit dropped to $5.00 each. The new profit was $345.00 minus shipping which is margin-able at 200,000 units in an 8x8x40 shipping container for $1,600.
In the 70s, for Japan’s total economy to surpass the US, each Japanese person had to be 2.5x as productive and wealthy as an American citizen (Japan’s population size is so much lower). In the 80s and 90s, the Japanese citizen earned and produced roughly 1.8-2x the American citizen before it peaked and its economy stagnated. Its economy reached 70-80% of the US with a much smaller workforce. So yes, Japan failed to surpass the US in total economy but it developed pretty darn fine. What does it take for China to surpass the US given its huge population size? Each Chinese person has to only be 0.25x as productive. If Chinese people even become 0.7x as productive (more than reasonable to assume they will given economic convergence of developing countries), China will be well more than 3x as powerful economically as the US. If China reaches 90s Japan levels of prosperity and achieve productivity per person of 2x as much as Americans, China’s total economy will be more than 8x as large as the US.

Floyd Packard As a company placed near a production centre benefits more, and if production centered are going to be scattered all over the world, maybe, we will partially return to a model where local factories are sufficient for localities. With that, China will certainly win due to its large population and demand!
its not sustainable at all!!! cuz from 2008 every years i read news and videos that people saying China's economic is about to crash, even 2017. even is still going all good, but you know it will crash...ummm
Most people's impression of "made-in-China" is from consumer goods. That's partially true now because branding and quality control is not advanced for Chinese products, but in other areas, made-in-China leads, such as spaceship, high-speed train and etc, which are not obvious for global consumers. With time, chinese firms will be more sophisticated in branding, design and innovation.
Yeah and most of them turn out bad and all this things already exist the high spreed train has been around for years and so has space program and they can't be head in that since USA and Russia have been to space and China haven't
That's the necessary cost to catch up and taking over the domination of western world, see what did you achieved in last 30 yrs? Not much huh? That's right, per UN data China is going to be the largest economy in 20 yrs. FYI China's rover on moon years ago, China just be able to feed their ppl 30 yrs now and they are looking to surpass the U.S.
Shenzhen has been growing really fast and it is keep growing. Another city that is planed to develop fast like shenzhen in China is Xiong'an, which is close to Beijing and Tianjing. Check it if you are interesting in China's city based economy planning.
My experience: when you go to a trade show, the Chinese are almost always big on manufacturing to *your* _specific_ design specifications, and will write out the work order in *excruciating detail* exactly how you specify the product -all right there on the show floor. The Chinese manufacturer's rep will then say, *"we make; you like"* -which is a hard translation of the Chinese characters equivalent to a "Western" business handshake- and then you get what you ordered. Very streamlined compared to the "domestic" manufacturers where you're paying product engineering fees, and setup fees, and going through the UL ISO ANSI bullshittery -almost as though domestic manufacturing _doesn't want your business_ ...and by the time containerfuls of the Chinese product arrives -manufactured _to your exact spec_ may I add- you haven't even entered domestic production with the domestic manufacturer you met at that same trade show... FRUSTRATING!!!
It's easy to throw resources at sales when your cost of labour is so low. Plus, once they have all your specifications and design, they can make many more than you order and white label them to other countries - then what will you do? Patents mean nothing in China and even where they are defend-able it's limited by your ability to pay lawyers to do it for you.
Naive, Tristan. Then they'll take your design and just make as much of your design as they want, and tell you to get lost if you say anything. The concept of fair business practice is completely foreign to them.
UL ISO ANSI bullshittery is there for a reason. To make sure your kids' toys are not laced with arsenic. But go ahead and buy it anyway...we wotn miss your kids. No loss to the genepool
@@suminshizzles6951 That's not what ISO 9001 is about at all. It doesn't mean good quality - it's for consistent quality to a defined standard, whether bad or good. You'll note many Chinese manufacturers tout ISO 9001 compliance too.
Chinese factories have a huge advantage over American factories. And it’s simple. If you manufacture a product in America, you can easily be sued. Product liability, discrimination, pollution, union disputes, and OSHA violations. But if you open the same factory in China, it’s almost impossible to get sued. No attorney will take-on a case involving a factory in China because the cost of litigation is so high. All the costs have to be paid by the litigant. As a result, locating a factory in China is the only logical thing to do. The Chinese government protects its industries. Employees are nice, the wages are reasonable, and there’s no litigation. In America it’s the opposite. Angry uncooperative minorities, a voracious federal government, and millions of attorneys looking for a lawsuit. To fix the problem, we need to cancel the entire legal and tax code. That means all of it, down to the last piece of paper. And we also need to end the practice of contingency law, and class action lawsuits. Those people are swindlers. And finally, we need to end corporate personhood. A company isn’t a person.
My mom use to work for a company that worked with white label "brands" and would have the products sold through Amazon in the US. She told me how stressful yet interesting it was because there are other countries competing for this market as well and other white label companies wanting in. She was a a global supply chain manager so she oversaw basically products going in and out of the country. It was really cool. But it is true though that sometimes the cultural differences do get in the way. That's why having a US based company help out with the design process is really key to having successful products sold here. Americans like brands, flashy boxes, a good logo, etc. All of that goes into how we buy things. As a side note, it was fun when she worked there because I got to try out prototype stuff and give my feedback on it since my Mom didn't really use consumer electronics like I did. So it was fun. Interesting video. The global economy is insane.

I have a question, how do we make transistors so small, modern transistors are like 10nm long,which is like 30 ATOMS, if that. How on earth do you make something that small!!! Can robots even move such tiny distances, do they place atoms one at a time. Seriously how!!!
Hanif Shakiba start with a silicon slab that's perfectly smooth at the atomic level (done by growing the crystal) then cover it with a masking substance that blocks gold from adhering. Then selectively remove the mask in the shape you want (or block the mask from attaching in those specific spots in the first place) Then essentially electroplate the slab with gold to create the components. Repeat this a few thousand times for each layer. With some gross simplification, that's essentially it. We don't place each atom, but instead rely on chemistry to deposit the atoms in the shape we want. How the shape is created using the mask substance, I'm not entirely sure, may be lasers or etching of some sort.
mage7 yeah, I mean things like your laptop or phone will reach a limit on processing power because eventually we will reach that limit and there is only so big you can make a phone or laptop before people will stop buying it. Of course there are developments in quantum computing which may allow for computers millions if not billions of times faster than today but they will probably remain those giant super computers that take up whole rooms, because I don't think they can be easily programmed to do a specific task like run a game (but don't quote me on it) so our phones and laptops will likely just be regular old boring computers with transistors with so few atoms you could count them on your hands.
Quantum computing is not yet accessible due to two main reasons: 1- Quantum noise is too prevalent in high-temperature environments, unless we find a way to reduce the impact of the noise, all quantum computers have to be cooled down to near absolute zero. So unless you can cool your cellphone down to near absolute zero, forget mobile quantum computing. 2- Quantum computers cost too much to make. Each quantum gate costs significantly more than a traditional Boolean gate. Just like how transistors used to cost much more, quantum gates costs a lot right now.

@@ericcartmann Centralised economies only work if communication is fast enough. The USSR economy fell due to the slow communication and the Central Government not knowing the demands of the individual regions.
In ancient times the 4 Chinese Dynasties were one of the most economically and culturally developed regions in the entire world during the feudal era. With the advent of the industrial revolution, china's feudal leaders did not want enterprising and proclaimed themselves as rulers through the mandate of heaven(天命:heaven's will) But the First and second industrial revolutions left china severely behind. As a result, China began to be invaded by Western countries, political sovereignty was severely interfered,the economic foundation collapsed, and the people's living standards and thousands starved to death .With the outbreak of China's domestic revolution, the communist party ruled and led china, and China's politics gradually became independent. In terms of economy, before china implemented reform and opened up, people's lives were still miserable and unsustainable. China has a population of over 1.3 billion with India. This is incomparable to the rest of the world. It is the first principle that people's lives could be improved. What use is These fragile ideals of "rights", "freedom","equality", "democracy" when people don't have food to eat,a roof over their heads,basic healthcare, education When people don't have access to these basic necessities a human needs to sustain life. When faced with hunger, people I believe will choose food over democracy. No government is perfect I admit but these goes to show that the general direction of the government's policies are in the right direction as in 3 decades it has significantly increased people's living standards While the country is still what I called a 2nd world country (where you have both first and 3rd world conditions), Hundreds of millions already have gotten out of poverty. That's the main reason why most Chinese people don't buy into the democracy first approach. When your country was once great, but fell into disarray due to foreign invasions, you tend to ignore recommendations from those same countries.

Good try dude. But I say haters gonna hate regardless. Iphone is manufactured and assembled in China but they will still purchase it because they will argue that the label is American. You see their rational here? (More like irrational here)
their one thing which doesn't really make sense in their economic model. essentially the idea of hardware start up companies arises from the proximity of technology and production and the loss of competitiveness from that region. doesn't that mean that the technology and resource are going to move away to an other region removing that competitive edge?
Lower-cost and lower-skilled labor will definitley move away, but China is getting very good at medium-skill production as their country is getting more educated and so a good amount of electronics manufacturing should stay in Shenzhen as it is more medium-skill. Things like textile production have no real chance of staying in China since it's low-skill.

There's a bit of a unique situation in this video where the sponsor is partially the subject of the video as well. This is because they were able to give me a level of access that normally would not have been possible (Chinese factories are not easy to film in.) I want to stress that I did have creative control over the video but take my presentation with a grain of salt nonetheless. I visited a well-regarded, ethical factory which isn't necessarily a reflection of all factories in China, as you may know. I also didn't cover some of the issues with manufacturing in China and other less-developed countries since I was taking a more holistic, economic view rather than a person view.

I went to Shenzen in 1989 - the tallest buildings were single storey warehouses and the road between Shenzen and Macau was 2 lanes, but bicycles 3 deep occupied the edges so it was effective single lane "with passing".

All my solar pumps are Chinese. My evacuated tube water heating panels are Chinese. All are great.

@Zsavage1 So... like many asian inventions that came through the silk road and europe took inspiration from back when it was ass backwards? Like gunpowder, for example? I always laugh at the argument of 'stealing' technology. It has happened countless times before, it will happen again. And it's only stealing depending on where you draw the line.
Even in europe, countries stole tech from each other. Look at tank designs inspired by the T34. Or how the whole american space program is built on nazi german rocket research. Even within a country, groups and individuals 'stole' from each other. The truth is, all technology is built on something before it. It is the natural course of its development. Look up the expression 'standing on the shoulders of giants'.
No doubt, in the far future, if china or some other country surpasses the technological development of, say, europe, europeans will be the ones stealing. And that will be fine.

In terms of PCT patent issued, Shenzhen accounts for 8-9% of the world (And half of the total PCT issued in China). The two other places that have similar sized PCT total are Tokyo and San Francisco Bay Area. So Shenzhen is really the innovation hub of the world. A lot of Apple and Samsung's technologies are actually developed in Shenzhen. World-renowned technology companies like Huawei, Tencent(Wechat), TP-Link, Mindray, DJI, BYD, ZTE are all based in Shenzhen. The close proximity to manufacturing lines actually references to the factories in nearby cities as Shenzhen is way too expensive for them to stay ( Shenzhen has the highest GDP per capita, highest paying jobs and highest percentage of well-educated population in China).
2. Shenzhen is also the financial hub of China, some of the biggest banks, insurance companies and real-estate companies in China are based in Shenzhen.
3. Surprise! Shenzhen is actually the one of the cleanest cities in China.
4. Shenzhen is very expensive in a lot of ways (for example real-estates), but the average income is also very high.
Doesn't surprise me. They managed to make that city work.
Yeah. Development there is scary. I went there once for a week, and they began construction of some supermarket area as I arrived. And by the time I left, they finished construction.
I suppose that's how efficiency works. This is not like taking nearly a century to build a cathedral.
Reaper5.56 Xx Dude, get educated before coming here and argue with me. The ignorance level in your comment is off the chart.
Sunway TaihuLight is the world fastest supercomputer in the world build with Chinese designed chips and designed in China.(93 Petaflops)
Tianhe 2 is the world second fastest supercomputer build with intel chips and designed in China.(33 Petaflops).
The first exascale supercomputer is almost finished. Also designed and built in China. (1 exaFlop=1000 Petaflops)
If American supercomputer firma's already have trouble with understanding how the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer is build on such a small footprint with much better power efficiency than Intel chips or Nvidia GPU's.
How can they understand the new exascale supercomputer.
China already stopped copying in some industries, they already left that stage behind.
Now I finally know why the currency difference are so huge between China and the west. I'm from HK and our current is even a little cheaper than Chinese ones.

There is nothing cheap or low quality about Anker.
Juju Rellama You are a joke
It's no longer about the wages. India, Bangladesh and other countries have even cheaper labor.
What really sets China apart is this:
1. Energy. China has been securing energy deals very aggressively all over the world. You don't get power outages in China like you do in India.
2. Rare earth minerals. Probably the most important point. China produces a lot of the stuff and has limited or even banned the exports of rare earth minerals. So, if you want to build electronics, you need to open factories in China.
Those two aspects are far more important then the rest. Wages will keep going up in China, but companies need the rare earth minerals that China is producing. There are no alternatives.
Alex1986Sevilla Power outages in India are also not common these days . Surely , there are some isolated parts of the country and rural areas but power outages are rare . In cities , it doesn't happen now . Even in my village , power doesn't go off . Even if it does , it's for like only 30 minutes in a day . So we brought an inverter battery and charge it up . It is super cheap and lasts for 2 days at max .
I did mention labor... in the first and second sentence, I even said "cheaper labor".
India was late to the party and China was there first. China opened its doors around 1978 whereas India in the year 1991. That makes part of the difference why China has an upper hand in manufacturing. Things move slowly in India because you have to appease a lot of people, not the case in China simply due to the fact in China government has absolute control. We Indians should look more in alleviating poverty and educating the next generation of Indians rather than considering ourselves competing with China.
China also has labor laws...after all, China was a pure communism nation which worker union is one of the fundamental political organization

If you look at what China looked like in 1925 and then again 1972, the economic policy changes were pretty obvious.
They played politics really well. Since even as far back as the sixties, the US Gov gave the Chinese both the plans and the machinery to the M14 rifles. Back when they were Commies and we were supposedly at war. Then bring on the 90s, and you have that happening to whole factories in the US across sectors. If not for the corruption in the US, China never would of been able to suck so much wealth out of the US and expand anywhere near as fast as it did. MAGA the tariffs are helping.
You obviously do not understand how Tariffs and Manufacturing protection laws work. Many countries have them on the books, and if Not for NAFTA and later President's actions, any country that moved a factory out of the US, would be either facing such a large Tariff it was unprofitable, if they were not simply banned from doing business in the US altogether, as there are nations on this planet that would use that as a penalty.
The CIA funneled weapons, money, and training through more than just China, those operations in Afghanistan, which later bit us in the ass, would of succeeded with or without them.
Those wars were indeed wasted blood and treasure, and went against the will of the people. But those expenditures were minimal compared to the amount of wealth willingly transferred from the US Economy over the past three decades, to most notably China. If China were truly forced to play on a level playing field, and pay proper penalties for breaking international trade agreements, they would not have amassed the wealth they did, in such a short time.
I am not saying the Chinese are incapable, they have been a powerful nation many times in the past, and can be again, but sucking the lifeblood out of the US, accelerated the process beyond what they could have done organically.
People really don't need to waste money on all the cheap crap coming from China anyway. Hell perhaps the quality of many items would be higher and it would be cost effective to repair things.
China tying up Russian troops being a leading role in Afghanistan is dicey at best. Its like saying Alaska being within striking distance of Russia put them or us on edge which was baseless. The Russians had nukes, which meant any Communist Chinese horde marching north would of been nuked once they got within a certain amount of kilometers into Soviet soil. So no China didn't really merit tying up that many Soviet resources.
There were military commanders and politicians, who mysteriously died, at the end of WW2 saying we fought the wrong people. We probably did, but on the flip side, the US spent far, far more money developing nukes, than we ever spent maintaining an armed force. Much of that expenditure would of been spent regardless, with only a portion being for the wars.
Technically part of my life was before all the outsourcing, and I could watch as my Nation started dying as all of that wealth, factories, jobs, were sucked out of this Nation due to trade deals made by corrupt politicians to benefit the Chinese. It is the responsibility of the Chinese government to improve the lives of their people, but raiding the US to do it, is not something I condone of my government doing. It taking the election of Donald Trump to see a change to this took far too long.
If you go back far enough in US history my people were just as thoroughly taken advantage of, allowing companies to do that to other nations people, and still have access to our markets merely allowed it to continue, after we had eradicated it here, which is something you should not want.
Afghanistan has never, ever been worth anything for the ground it is. It has always been a backwater, where nations playing the great game, lose lives and treasure. If the USSR really cared about it, they would of properly sent troops, much like when the USA went into Afghanistan, our leaders cared more about invading elsewhere, then properly invading the one country the nations people agreed to go to war for. I highly doubt the threat of Chinese troops, made that large an impact on the USSR's troop deployments in China.
Communist China was already firmly established as a slaughterer of millions of their own civilians by the time the traitors in the US gave them the M14 Rifle plans and production tools, in the 1960s, during the Vietnam War era.
General Patton is indeed the most obvious and famous example. And technically it occurred just after victory in Europe and the cessation of hostilities there. Given the sheer cost in human lives, almost every Communist regime has inflicted upon its own, and neighboring populations, has indeed shined it as a force in the world that should never be allowed to come into power. Much of the propaganda against Germany and National Socialism, was merely that false lies and propaganda. If anything in hindsight, we should have allied with the Germans against the Soviets, and stamped out Communism before it drained two of the worlds largest nations and decades to do so.
My nation is indeed in decline. The loss of factories has turned many once thriving towns and cities into rotting ghost towns. Families ripped apart just to find work, and an increase in crime, forced acceptance of nonconforming immigrants, and a decline in much of what allowed the nation to prosper. This having been a result of utterly stupid, if not seditious trade policies. Among other things. There is a difference between mutually beneficial trade, and your idea of sharing prosperity. A good economic relationship benefits both sides, not one side unilaterally, which had been the relationship between China and the US since Bill Clinton was President.
You seem to be under the impression that factories, and economies are finite, that there is a pie only so big and you must take your share. A truly healthy economic system grows, but then again, the founding principles of Communism would not allow for such a thing. Hence why China today had to veer so far from Mao. Instead of stealing American factories, you could have built your own, and sold your products, like any other entrepreneur, My people should not of been forced to subsidize you, your own government should have.
I will not dispute the US spends too much on military spending, I would prefer we were not the world's policeman. Let other nations foot the bill for keeping themselves safe, and sea lanes free of pirates. Something China has benefited from greatly. Our past poltiicans have left us with responsibilities I would love my nation to pull out of.
Fixing the damage caused by our trading relationship with China and others, but most notably China, is one of the major factors of fixing our house. Stopping the flow of illegals, and deporting many of the unneeded and illegal wards of the state is another. Hell, a large portion of the Visa over-stayers we need to deport come from China, among others of course.

People are always worried about our rights. I guess 95% from other countries are thinking we're suffering. Being a Chinese citizen, the only thing I really care about is accommodation.

1. China's business ecosystem has evolved to make it a more efficient and cost-effective place to manufacture products.
2. Chinese manufacturers generally operate under a much more permissive regulatory environment.
3. Artificially depressing the value of its currency in order to keep the price of its goods lower than those produced by foreign competitors.

It's deja vu all over again. I heard the same thing about Japan in the 70's.
Manufactures look at two main items. Can a country manufacture my product with at least 85% quality, and how cheaply! In the 1970 I worked for Motorola Automotive Products Division. We invented the electronic ignition system for Ford. Ford retails the control module for $350.00 each. If manufactured in the US it cost $180.00 per unit. So it was sent to Japan and the cost per unit dropped to $5.00 each. The new profit was $345.00 minus shipping which is margin-able at 200,000 units in an 8x8x40 shipping container for $1,600.
Smart &Hard working people and strong military make stronger country. If these essentials work on USA, will work on China. It just takes time.
And now japan is a highly developed country, so i guess the economists were right.
In the 70s, for Japan’s total economy to surpass the US, each Japanese person had to be 2.5x as productive and wealthy as an American citizen (Japan’s population size is so much lower). In the 80s and 90s, the Japanese citizen earned and produced roughly 1.8-2x the American citizen before it peaked and its economy stagnated. Its economy reached 70-80% of the US with a much smaller workforce. So yes, Japan failed to surpass the US in total economy but it developed pretty darn fine.
What does it take for China to surpass the US given its huge population size? Each Chinese person has to only be 0.25x as productive. If Chinese people even become 0.7x as productive (more than reasonable to assume they will given economic convergence of developing countries), China will be well more than 3x as powerful economically as the US. If China reaches 90s Japan levels of prosperity and achieve productivity per person of 2x as much as Americans, China’s total economy will be more than 8x as large as the US.
Still think the China story is the same as the Japan story?

Most people's impression of "made-in-China" is from consumer goods. That's partially true now because branding and quality control is not advanced for Chinese products, but in other areas, made-in-China leads, such as spaceship, high-speed train and etc, which are not obvious for global consumers. With time, chinese firms will be more sophisticated in branding, design and innovation.
Yeah and most of them turn out bad and all this things already exist the high spreed train has been around for years and so has space program and they can't be head in that since USA and Russia have been to space and China haven't

FYI China's rover on moon years ago, China just be able to feed their ppl 30 yrs now and they are looking to surpass the U.S.
Even manufacturing, I saw lot of products of luxury brands are made in China.
Shenzhen has been growing really fast and it is keep growing. Another city that is planed to develop fast like shenzhen in China is Xiong'an, which is close to Beijing and Tianjing. Check it if you are interesting in China's city based economy planning.
My experience: when you go to a trade show, the Chinese are almost always big on manufacturing to *your* _specific_ design specifications, and will write out the work order in *excruciating detail* exactly how you specify the product -all right there on the show floor. The Chinese manufacturer's rep will then say, *"we make; you like"* -which is a hard translation of the Chinese characters equivalent to a "Western" business handshake- and then you get what you ordered. Very streamlined compared to the "domestic" manufacturers where you're paying product engineering fees, and setup fees, and going through the UL ISO ANSI bullshittery -almost as though domestic manufacturing _doesn't want your business_ ...and by the time containerfuls of the Chinese product arrives -manufactured _to your exact spec_ may I add- you haven't even entered domestic production with the domestic manufacturer you met at that same trade show... FRUSTRATING!!!
It's easy to throw resources at sales when your cost of labour is so low. Plus, once they have all your specifications and design, they can make many more than you order and white label them to other countries - then what will you do? Patents mean nothing in China and even where they are defend-able it's limited by your ability to pay lawyers to do it for you.
Naive, Tristan. Then they'll take your design and just make as much of your design as they want, and tell you to get lost if you say anything. The concept of fair business practice is completely foreign to them.
UL ISO ANSI bullshittery is there for a reason. To make sure your kids' toys are not laced with arsenic. But go ahead and buy it anyway...we wotn miss your kids. No loss to the genepool
@@suminshizzles6951 That's not what ISO 9001 is about at all. It doesn't mean good quality - it's for consistent quality to a defined standard, whether bad or good. You'll note many Chinese manufacturers tout ISO 9001 compliance too.
Exactly. Who put that system in place? Chinese! They infiltrated USA (with the help of Russia) and caused that mess.
Chinese factories have a huge advantage over American factories. And it’s simple.
If you manufacture a product in America, you can easily be sued. Product liability, discrimination, pollution, union disputes, and OSHA violations.
But if you open the same factory in China, it’s almost impossible to get sued. No attorney will take-on a case involving a factory in China because the cost of litigation is so high. All the costs have to be paid by the litigant.
As a result, locating a factory in China is the only logical thing to do. The Chinese government protects its industries. Employees are nice, the wages are reasonable, and there’s no litigation.
In America it’s the opposite. Angry uncooperative minorities, a voracious federal government, and millions of attorneys looking for a lawsuit.
To fix the problem, we need to cancel the entire legal and tax code. That means all of it, down to the last piece of paper. And we also need to end the practice of contingency law, and class action lawsuits. Those people are swindlers. And finally, we need to end corporate personhood. A company isn’t a person.

4:10 situation is now different, US charges tax
My mom use to work for a company that worked with white label "brands" and would have the products sold through Amazon in the US. She told me how stressful yet interesting it was because there are other countries competing for this market as well and other white label companies wanting in. She was a a global supply chain manager so she oversaw basically products going in and out of the country. It was really cool. But it is true though that sometimes the cultural differences do get in the way. That's why having a US based company help out with the design process is really key to having successful products sold here. Americans like brands, flashy boxes, a good logo, etc. All of that goes into how we buy things.
As a side note, it was fun when she worked there because I got to try out prototype stuff and give my feedback on it since my Mom didn't really use consumer electronics like I did. So it was fun. Interesting video. The global economy is insane.
Very informative Rob, thank you.

U know people in Hong Kong thinks that houses in Shenzhen are cheap which is true as Hong Kong houses are hella expensive
...shenzhen..not cheap....u need to good further to dongguan..
I have a question, how do we make transistors so small, modern transistors are like 10nm long,which is like 30 ATOMS, if that. How on earth do you make something that small!!!
Can robots even move such tiny distances, do they place atoms one at a time. Seriously how!!!
Hanif Shakiba +
Hanif Shakiba start with a silicon slab that's perfectly smooth at the atomic level (done by growing the crystal) then cover it with a masking substance that blocks gold from adhering. Then selectively remove the mask in the shape you want (or block the mask from attaching in those specific spots in the first place)
Then essentially electroplate the slab with gold to create the components.
Repeat this a few thousand times for each layer.
With some gross simplification, that's essentially it.
We don't place each atom, but instead rely on chemistry to deposit the atoms in the shape we want. How the shape is created using the mask substance, I'm not entirely sure, may be lasers or etching of some sort.
Dennis Kovalev thanks, that makes sense.
mage7 yeah, I mean things like your laptop or phone will reach a limit on processing power because eventually we will reach that limit and there is only so big you can make a phone or laptop before people will stop buying it.
Of course there are developments in quantum computing which may allow for computers millions if not billions of times faster than today but they will probably remain those giant super computers that take up whole rooms, because I don't think they can be easily programmed to do a specific task like run a game (but don't quote me on it)
so our phones and laptops will likely just be regular old boring computers with transistors with so few atoms you could count them on your hands.
Quantum computing is not yet accessible due to two main reasons:
1- Quantum noise is too prevalent in high-temperature environments, unless we find a way to reduce the impact of the noise, all quantum computers have to be cooled down to near absolute zero. So unless you can cool your cellphone down to near absolute zero, forget mobile quantum computing.
2- Quantum computers cost too much to make. Each quantum gate costs significantly more than a traditional Boolean gate. Just like how transistors used to cost much more, quantum gates costs a lot right now.
The bus fare was like 40 cents in China, but where I live, it's nearly $4
Stephanie Y 2 yuan
So if your dad was the bus driver you'd be happy for him to work for a pittance by making the fares 40 cents ? why not 20 c ? maybe FREE ? bus fares,like other things reflect the affluence of the society they operate in,you could walk,here in the UK a lot of buses are subsidised by local authorities or used to be but they're still relatively cheap.
In india bus fare is just 14 cents

around this same period the US have accumulated 20 Trillion dollars in debt and the wealth inequality have grown by folds.
Theodoяe Kяap check ur gdp. Its pretty big. U can pay off that debt if u want to. And wealth inequality is a non issue. If u work hard then u will make money. If u dont, then u wont. Why should u invoke 'wealth inequality' to try and steal money from the hard workers to give to the lazy?
The wealth inequality is because of the policies that value welfare and not work. In some states you would literally be better off on welfare than actually working.

I was 15 years old in 1998, when China's government took decision about Shenzhen develope. I remember it in our news, there was a big show.
In 2012 I was in Shenzhen as tourist, and I was impressed by that great city! If you have a chance - travel there and enjoy it :-)
Who the fuck would give up their rights to move to China.
Centralized economies are doomed to collapse.
Shenzhen was built by investment from HK businesses to gain acces to cheap labour and was basically the starting point for chinese economic growth
Time will come that people wants to apply for a china visa like people did ten years ago for USA in very soon future.
@@ericcartmann Centralised economies only work if communication is fast enough. The USSR economy fell due to the slow communication and the Central Government not knowing the demands of the individual regions.
@@李存勖-n5z Literally no one actually wants to move/work in China. Horrible shit hole of a Country.
Chinese people are competive and more investing for research and development than results here.
really? so what happened in China 35 years ago? not so innovative.
In ancient times the 4 Chinese Dynasties were one of the most economically and culturally developed regions in the entire world during the feudal era. With the advent of the industrial revolution, china's feudal leaders did not want enterprising and proclaimed themselves as rulers through the mandate of heaven(天命:heaven's will)
But the First and second industrial revolutions left china severely behind. As a result, China began to be invaded by Western countries, political sovereignty was severely interfered,the economic foundation collapsed, and the people's living standards and thousands starved to death .With the outbreak of China's domestic revolution, the communist party ruled and led china, and China's politics gradually became independent. In terms of economy, before china implemented reform and opened up, people's lives were still miserable and unsustainable. China has a population of over 1.3 billion with India. This is incomparable to the rest of the world.
It is the first principle that people's lives could be improved.
What use is These fragile ideals of "rights", "freedom","equality", "democracy" when people don't have food to eat,a roof over their heads,basic healthcare, education
When people don't have access to these basic necessities a human needs to sustain life. When faced with hunger, people I believe will choose food over democracy.
No government is perfect I admit but these goes to show that the general direction of the government's policies are in the right direction as in 3 decades it has significantly increased people's living standards
While the country is still what I called a 2nd world country (where you have both first and 3rd world conditions), Hundreds of millions already have gotten out of poverty. That's the main reason why most Chinese people don't buy into the democracy first approach. When your country was once great, but fell into disarray due to foreign invasions, you tend to ignore recommendations from those same countries.
This is a PR work for Anker and it is brilliant.

On the hindsight, see how fast China can go down after 3,years and how the social order can go into near standstill and panic state. The state has overnight lost its credibility and over Wuhan virus mishandling. China will find hard to regain its position before the virus outbreak, because it has become apparent that it is now apparent that it is too risky to put all the eggs in China.

Kodos to China for cracking the manufacturing code & hitting it hard.
i've been using a few anker wireless chargers for a year or two now and they're great. cool to see where they came from.
When Huawei working in a project for its customer, its developing team sit in the customer's office, make any changes at any time during the entire project, never argue "em... this is not in the plan", till the customer is 100% happy. This is how China manufacture win.
the customer is Chinese Communist with gun, so quite an easy task to build espionage device for cheap for Communist warlords. Huawei always buys the old patents from yelcoms
Samsung and Texas Instruments offering cheaper but still acceptable product to middle income markets who don't need the super latest technology.
Huawei just steals all it's patents lmao. Fuck China. Fuck Huawei.

Bow to Mr Martin Jacques for his incredible insight of China, from a Chinese citizen in 2020.
To those who hype on the China threat, just want to point out that grand ship from the fleet of Admiral Zheng He (a Chinese Muslim), did not bring any slaughter and colonization to Southeast Asia, Arabia or East Africa. And that was what China opt not to do at its prime.
All the best to Mr Martin Jacques, and the whole mankind.
Chinese goods can be found in every level. If you pay peanuts don’t expect it to be reliable. Try high tech things like Huawei phones.

My Motorola smartphone was tough.
Good try dude. But I say haters gonna hate regardless. Iphone is manufactured and assembled in China but they will still purchase it because they will argue that the label is American. You see their rational here? (More like irrational here)
We buy Iphones because they're Available, not because they're actually worth a damn. I would still use a Blackberry if they were still around.
Lol @huawei being high quality
Huawei is better than apple crap
Been buying Anker products for years now. I really recommend their braided charging cables.
their one thing which doesn't really make sense in their economic model. essentially the idea of hardware start up companies arises from the proximity of technology and production and the loss of competitiveness from that region. doesn't that mean that the technology and resource are going to move away to an other region removing that competitive edge?
Lower-cost and lower-skilled labor will definitley move away, but China is getting very good at medium-skill production as their country is getting more educated and so a good amount of electronics manufacturing should stay in Shenzhen as it is more medium-skill. Things like textile production have no real chance of staying in China since it's low-skill.
Good video. I have anker and dji in my bag right now.
Thank you very much for the subtitles in Portuguese!
