Yes, hi SamWillis.
What you say echoes my understanding of creating a product 'in China'. Often there are loads of steps where it makes sense to use local talent instead.
This means a lot of the rhetoric of 'jobs going overseas' can be empty.
I think in future that local firms will have a chinese manufacturing partner and list this fact to clients as a 'we save you money this way'. Local expertise with approved baseline manufacturing cost.
- ChinaSourcer 16y agoMy company makes several components and entire products in the US. When we pitch new products to distributors/retailers, they ask "Are you in China with this?" I tell them yes because it isn't worth the argument that China is not a magic bullet that will automatically reduce your costs. Sometimes it just makes sense to be in the US, and we take full advantage of that.
