China's quest to catch up with the West

Low-cost manufacturing has run its course. Now Beijing wants to transition into a modernized economy like Germany and Japan.

STRASBOURG - China seeks to redesign its economy from export-driven labour-intensive manufacturing to domestic-based consumption, services and high-tech. The blueprint, known as Made in China 2025, is the first of three 10-year plans that seek to transform the country from the top down, just in time for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

[PANZER]

Being able to achieve half of the target is already super impressive. Hell, I dont even know what my country plan to do next year...

Last time I was this early, the Qing were the undisputed rulers of Asia

China basically bought the rights to all the most common nuclear reactors in the world over the last 15 years and build one or two plants of that type generally with multiple reactors at each site. With the goal of producing all the parts internally. Now they're building about one of every type of experimental nuclear reactor and have completely outpaced all research throughout the rest of the world. They will be the first with several Gen IV designs with the hope of licensing them to other states. Wikipedia says that some of their Gen IV reactors should be operational currently although timelines might have changed.

A video about China and not much biased...
Thanks...

[danyeldny]

This is f..king awesome, I am so amazed, on each video, of how much prepared and careful you are when describing a situation.
I am a person who loves this way of reasoning and thinking, by combining domains and vast info, into drawing the must likely conclusions.


I must tell you @CaspianReport, that my country is on the brink of collapse, because of the lack of strategic planing or thinking.
And I am in a constant battle of trying to discover, how can I promote this kind of content to my compatriots, who are sadly, ignorant.


I am ashamed I cannot support your channel more, and I thank you for your videos! ... and SAHOL!

never say something in China is unrealistic, every year you go back, something unrealistic becomes reality

[HistoryMarche]

Absolutely fantastic presentation. Thank you for the awesome video!

Steering away from an economy which is too greatly reliant on export is a good idea for most countries. You see the outcome of not adapting properly in Germany, where their economy is developed, but so heavily reliant on exports that their economy is shrinking due to the trade war between China and the US.

Man, this Quality content, thank you so much.

Pooh knows what he’s doing, leading China in the right path

You cannot have domestic innovation without encouraging free and critical thinking. It doesn't matter how much China wants this to not be true.

"China has the one system in the world that is well-adapted to manage the use of inefficient labor." - Ian Bremmar, when debating automation and the challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution at Intelligence-Squared.

From a purely manufacturing standpoint, this is a fairly good video. I just wish you tied it together with the social issues we're facing.

[farazkhan]

Very good journalism.. Keep up the good work.

Caspian Report, this guy needs to be a consultant for some president in some country one day.
