China has been at the center of the global supply chain for more than a decade, and today almost everything is manufactured in China. For example, about 80 percent of toys are made in China. This is because even though the home country of the product brand is a country like the United States or Taiwan, they outsources the production to China.
When I’m in college, as I mention above, all of my school supplies, electronics, and even toys were made in China and a kid in me always wondered why everything is made in China,
And why not somewhere else?
Also, when I was a kid the first English sentence that I learned was not about daddy or mommy.
The first English sentence that I learned was written all over my toys and it was Made in China.
Here in this blog post, I’m going to tell you the mind-blowing answer that I found for the above question!!
The country that china works in ways that I’ve never, ever seen before.
So,
Why Everything is Made in China?
China made everything because china has a large labor force and they work hard. They work fast. They work cheaply. The government supports them and they also have the ability to imitate.
There are a billion Chinese peoples and they build everything from skyscrapers to laptops to iPhones to stupid plastic toys.
To make this in a different country then that country needs to be better, faster, and cheaper than here in china.
And from What I see…
that’s a really hard thing to do!
That is why everything was not made in somewhere else!!
Let’s go deep
The Chinese economy has taken a big leap in the last 10 years but they still work hard.
There is still pressure in the country as a large population in the country shares a limited amount of resources.
So that reason makes competition in them.
Also when they got rich, they work hard for fear of losing what they have.
It’s not only for better pay but also for their mentality and workplace culture also already set for the hard work.
So they work harder to get rid of the feeling of insecurity.
But it is not only for better pay.
Their mentality and workplace culture also help them to work hard.
The recent static shows Chinese people work an average of 46 hours per week.
This system is called the “996 working hour system”.
The 996 working system is a work schedule commonly used by some companies in China.
According to this system, employees work from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, 6 days per week.
The best example of this is the hospitals they are building to deal with the Covid-19 epidemic.
China suddenly built new hospitals, and workers worked tirelessly to complete them as fast as they can.
They built two new hospitals with 1,000-1,300 beds, one built in six days, and the second in 15 days.
I think you can get more ideas about how they work fast after watching the following video below.
Chinese cheap labor force is one of the main factor behind their economic miracle.
According to that reason, a lot of companies prefer to build their factories in china.
I think this is the main reason for calling China a world’s factory.
If you have a question as to why everything is made in China, here is the one story you ever need to read.
If you look at the back of the box when you unpacked your iPhone, you will see this: “Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China.”
Speaking at the Fortune Global Forum in Guangzhou in early December, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook explained: Why iPhones Are Made In China
“number one attraction is the quality of people”
“It’s an extraordinarily China has the extraordinary skills and so what probably the part that is the most unknown is there are almost two million application developers in China that write apps for the IOS App Store and these are some of the most innovative mobile apps in the world and the entrepreneurs that run them are some of the most inspiring and entrepreneurial in the world those are sold not only here but exported around the world also in the manufacturing space China has moved into very advanced manufacturing and so you find in China the sort of the intersection of craftsmen kind of skill and sophisticated robotics and sort of the computer science world that intersection which is very very rare to find anywhere that that kind of skill which is very important for Apple”
When I was a student all of my teachers told me that I shouldn’t copy my classmates!!
Because according to them copying is a bad thing!!
But here in China, it seems like copying is not that bad.
Because everywhere people are copying products from the west!
The entire market is just copying products of luxury brands details for details!!!
There are electronic stores thinking that it’s Apple because they have new MacBooks, old MacBooks, and iPhone X but turns out it is not Apple.
It is a copy of Apple!!
The only difference between products is what’s inside, the logo and the price!
Here on the streets, we can see towns that look like Paris and cars that look like Tesla!
But actually, it is not a Paris or Tesla and both are copies of Paris and Tesla!!
