China Manufacturing Crises

 📢 China's Manufacturing Landscape: From Dominance to Disruption 🌍🏭

China, once hailed as the "world factory," contributed 30% to global processes in 2018 with a staggering $4 trillion (30% of GDP). How did it achieve this status? 🔍

🏭 Low Labor Cost: Competitive wages and rental inflation of 7% YOY made China an attractive hub for manufacturers.

📋 Tax & Duties: Favorable tax policies and a robust business ecosystem fueled growth.

💹 Currency Practices: China's competitive currency practices gave it a market advantage.

⚖️ Regulatory Compliance: However, lax regulations posed challenges for quality control.

🔥 Factors Leading to Crisis 🔥

1️⃣ US-China Trade War: The war led to increased tariffs on high-tech goods, causing semiconductor crises and impacting 20% of US imports.

2️⃣ Pandemic Wake-up Call: Companies realized overreliance on China, leading to a historic low in exports in 2019.

👋 Why Companies are Leaving 👋

1️⃣ Soaring Inflation: Rising rental and wage costs in China have made other countries like Vietnam, India, and Indonesia more appealing.

2️⃣ Skilled Labor Shortage: China's focus on high-tech industries has created a labor shortage with youth reluctant to take up manual jobs.

🏆 And the Winners Are 🏆

🇻🇳 Vietnam: With a 10% corporate tax compared to China's 25%, Vietnam attracts companies like Foxconn and Samsung. GDP surged by 7.9% in 2021.

🇮🇳 India: Large landmass and a youthful workforce made India a hotspot. Apple shifted iPad manufacturing, and FDI reached an impressive $83.6 billion.

🇹🇭 Thailand: Sony, Sharp, and Jinko Solar made it their preferred destination, tripling investments in 2021.

🇧🇩 Bangladesh: The second-largest garment manufacturer with $42 billion in exports in 2021, offering a lower average salary than China.

🇲🇽 Mexico: Snatched the lion's share of $27 billion, attracting big players like Ford and Volkswagen.
