Chinese Factories are Insane!

Exploring China's industrial landscape exposes its manufacturing and technological potential. I mvisited three Zhongshan factories that contribute to China's global manufacturing leadership.

A facility with 16 years of experience in weighing equipment is the first stop. The plant's ability to make practically every scale part ensures quality and accuracy. Simple domestic scales to complex industrial ones with smart technologies and internet connectivity are available. This variety shows the weighing equipment industry's evolution and technological advancement.

Next, a Torch Development Zone solar panel plant makes window-integrated panels. Automation technologies demonstrate China's renewable energy advances in production. Filming is restricted, but sustainability and efficiency are stressed, reflecting the country's devotion to renewable energy and technical innovation.

Galanz, a microwave oven manufacturer, is the last stop. In addition to leading the household appliance market, this factory supplies microwave ovens worldwide.The factory campus emphasizes sustainability and renewable energy. Technology and efficiency are seen in production capacity, sustainability, and appliance functionality improvement.

China's manufacturing industry i, productive, demonstrating its economic strength and forward-thinking vision. Local authorities and plant managers collaborated to reveal the intricate production processes that power the global economy, displaying industry and its creative and dedicated workers.

I am very happy to see that a lot of the production lines had chairs for the workers. I tried working a factory job this year and only made it 2 weeks. I was happy to lift boxes, happy to walk the 12 kilometers a shift, happy to pay attention to repetitive tasks, and was ok with the hot steam venting into the work area as long as I had a fan. But standing in one spot on a concrete floor quickly became too painful, even with good shoes. And by the end of two weeks of 10 hour days, I decided I could no longer tolerate the pain when other options for employment exist.

It is really simple, if you are staying in one spot, then that spot should have a chair. And the individual can decide for themselves if they need to sit or stand while performing the task.

I worked together with chinese people two times in my life and I really liked it. One time with chinese from Taiwan and one time with chinese from China Mainland, Shenzen. Both times were very good. Chinese people are at the same time smart and comfortable. Or how else shall I describe with people who always care about the wellbeing of others. And at the same time to better the production process. They are simply positivists and I really liked it.

As a Chinese mechanical engineer with 25 years of mechanical experience, I have worked in several machinery companies in different industries. (There were too many job opportunities in previous years) Now there are fewer companies copying advanced machines. But there are also many problems. For example, many companies do not pay attention to the welfare of workers, resulting in workers involved in precision machinery not growing well and working sloppily. Most engineers are afraid to innovate designs. There are not many good components.

This is what keeping US and global inflation bearable

What an opportunity, thank you, we learnt and seen so much . General it is hard to see anything in the factories in china, so you have a done a remarkable job . Also everyone waiting to blame china but they do not understand how they lift to this level . I’m so happy about Chinese, every penny comes from hard work, not from colonising, that’s the secret of Chinese,

I'm a HW engineer and have been in many different factories: FoxConn, Quanta, etc. they are both fascinating and ridiculous at the same time. I have so many pictures of the goofiest stuff. I've seen ladders built out of pvc pipe and tape. I've seen people write sad messages on the conveyor belt in English. I've seen 100K people going in and 100K people out during shift change. All of the people work very hard 6 days a week.

Thanks for making this video - it is indeed very rare to film inside Chinese factrories. I am one of the few foreign engineers who actually worked in a Chinese factory as a manufacturing engineer for a few years. I'm sure you were happy to be granted access and be treated so well in the factories, but unfortunately there are so many negative aspects going on behind the scenes at these factories. Every time a visitor (or even a high-ranking internal manager) visited our factory, we needed to put on a show for them. This meant turning on the factory AGVs (which were never used in normal circumstances), turning on large monitors with fancy colorful charts, and doing crazy out of the ordinary things to impress all visitors.

Many of us worked 13 hour days, we only got 1 egg and 1 small steamed bun for dinner provided by the factory canteen, everybody is screaming and arguing at full volume during the day, you get interrupted every 15 minutes when working on tasks because everyone thinks their need is the most important, etc. I could go on and on. But could never let visitors see any negative side of our factory because it would cause us to lose face.

I'm happy you had a great time visiting the factories and spent so much time to organize the visits - I know how much effort it takes to create the connections and execute these plans. I only hope that people can see the truth of Chinese factories since I experienced them first-hand - not just the fictitious images that Chinese managers release and spread. I like your video but need to spread the truth at the same time😁

And most people think China is still an agrarian society where farmers dominate the landscape.

[dhrubajit_barman]

The employer is human enough to provide chairs in assembly line. Here in India most companies don't... at least at those where I worked before...and gotta say I worked in more than 5 company at least

Hi Paul,
I am Nick Cheung and I am from Honolulu, Hawaii. My wife is from Zhongshan and she's now live with me in Hawaii. I walk your YouTube channel all the time and I like it a lot.

If you've ever worked in a stamping plant in North America its absolutely mind numbing work ...monotonous hell ... living in a prison

[robhabraken]

i worked in china for many years and the factories are impressive. the good mentality of chinese people is that nothing is inpossible, they always find a solution.

[gunsumwong]

It is a real treat for someone outside China to do what you have done.

They are just getting better and better

On DouYin is a trader in China who sells all kinds of products to worldwide customers. He shared the insight he got from dealing with customers. His returning customers who previously left him would complain about buying from other countries, such as delays, slow shipment, poor quality, etc. The interesting part is his comparison of customers from different countries and their habits. Needless to say he'll rather not do business with some of them. Fascinating.

very high degree of automation, cleanliness, disciplined people, and no obvious discrimination

[Fldllse]

These factory vids are golds. Please keep them coming!

[raymondlianto]

Even thouugh they didn't let you show all of the manufacturing process in the factories, I thought you made a good video.

[Nontacticalboy]

PLUS factory workers arent paid a monthly salary, depending on the company policies, they are sometimes paid once every few months. Workers also favor clocking overtime or night shift for obvious reasons, so the factory have better efficiency and larger capital for reinvestments because they dont have to pay salary monthly

[bladder]

Remember when these types of things were still done in North America, Europe, and UK?
