China vs The West: Does Trade War Spell End To Made-In-China Goods? | When Titans Clash 3 - Part 1/2

As the West and Japan pursues a policy of de-risking from China, China’s economy loses billions and foreign investments into the mainland become negative for the first time since 1998. Are we witnessing the end of made-in-China? Or is this the beginning of profound shifts in China towards green tech, high tech, and a more service-oriented economy? With major multinationals pursing a “in China for China” strategy; whilst others double down on the diversification of supply chains, this documentary analyzes the complex business trends unfolding, and what it means for the world’s second largest economy.

I think this is a win win for everyone. I am glad to see Latin America develop its workforce and be an economic leader. Distribution of GDR and higher standard of living will solve so many problems relating to poverty, immigration and some more world wide.

It’s also good to diversifying productions not just china. At least other countries will be benefited in terms of manufacturing jobs.

Many branded clothing and shoes are manufactured in Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia， Mexico, Thailand and Argentina

Same goes to derisking dollars but not decoupling the dollars, thats how the world is moving ahead.

[FMCandidate]

Di-vorce is what we are calling for. Breaking up is hard to do.

[louieadam]

Manufacturing should spreaded all over the world particularly in latin American nations so providing jobs for latin americans will help to ease illegal migration to US. Once the country is stable, peace and security follows.

When was this episode broadcast? It was uploaded 5 days ago but the narrative refers to 2022 in a sort of future tense.

So interesting… well reported and good work to all ❤

The main takeaway is that companies are just doing what's best for their business given what's been going on in recent times. This "diversification", whether China likes it or not, is important to those companies. Part of the problem, to a large extent, is China itself and while the economics of such a move is secondary. China does understand this even if it doesn't like it.

The most surprising part of this video was that the mention of 2007. 2007 was the year Chinese companies realized they need to move out of China. That was.. almost 20 years ago.
Insanely far timeframe, I wonder what goes through their minds when they decided to go through with the decision.
Also goes to show that we can't really predict the future, but we can look into the past and learn a bit more about ourselves.

This is nothing new, manufacturers have always been choosing the cheapest country for their factories, now China like the developed world is too expensive and the manufacturers are always looking for maximum profit .

[josemaciel]

The early bird gets the worm, lots of hard work and willingness to do it paid off

[cindylou]

This is hands down one of the most interesting documentaries I’ve seen in a while! Very honest and looking at things from various perspectives, great journalism!

[margaretcaine]

If China is collapsing with 5% growth, where does that leave the USA, Germany, the UK?

[TomNook.]

I'd just like to complement the editors on the choice of music throughout this video. Made a very boring political video very dramatic and on edge!

[antonywooster]

Where's the evidence for "Forced labour in Xinjiang"? The UN sent a "Rapporteur" to Xinjiang to report on this subject. When she came back she made a report and the US blocked its publication!

[josephsirambara]

Manufacturering is changing in China because of rise in cost of production, cheap manufacturing has to be transferred to other countries where the income is low and has a large youthful unemployment population

[kennethsnyder]

Fair trade is fair play for all parties involved but sadly it doesn’t work out that way for all sides.

[myrnagutierrez]

Though trade war seemed ended, China is self sufficient they will survive. What i fear most is my country unprepared of everything.

19:46 - US congresswoman Salazar's statement absolutely reeks of xenophobia, siege mentality at its worst. If China is deemed to be 'invading the US hemisphere' by merely strengthening trade with LatinAm, then how should the world perceive all the US military bases in Asia that surround China? The US can't be bothered to strengthen trade with its southern neighbours, but gets angry when China does it?

Basically the West wanted to exploit China's cheap labour to manufacture their creature comforts for them at low cost. The problem started when China refused to play dumb and started turning that exploitation into an opportunity and a powerful competitive advantage within just a few decades while the West was happily bombing other nations back to the stone age. That's all it is, really.
