The Chinese government has effectively scared away investment. It will take time, but slowly companies are going to look to decouple their manufacturing and supply chains from China.
I think 50 years from now this moment will be studied as how a country self sabotaged themselves out of potential world dominance.
- polishdude20 4y agoIt seems like it's all going to plan but maybe a bit too quick? You're a country with cheap manufacturing. Become the world's manufacturing hub for the higher tech design firms. Then as your economy ramps up, your education goes up, you start becoming more and more like those design firm based countries. At some point you switch over and find yourself a new country to base cheap manufacturing in. Say.. Africa? So now, does the US and Apple, have a cheap manufacturing alternative? Does China?
