Shenzhen Is Doomed, Dongguan Is Even Worse, Manufacturing Closures Sweep Through Guangdong

  • In Guangzhou's Huadu District, a bustling recruitment hub draws tens of thousands daily seeking employment, rain or shine. This street-side recruitment trend has become a traditional practice in Guangdong Province. However, the persistent international industry migration has forced many foreign trade processing factories to shut down or relocate, leaving the remaining struggling without orders, thereby decreasing labor demands compared to previous years. This results in streets crowded with job seekers every day.
    Guangdong Province, hailed as the pioneer of China's economic development, has topped national GDP rankings for 33 consecutive years. Its import and export total value, net fiscal contribution to the central government, population, and population natural growth rate have also remained unparalleled. Courtesy of early reforms and open policies, initial reliance on the Hong Kong port, and subsequent investments from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and western multinational corporations, establishing China's initial 'World's Factory'. Cities like Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Guangzhou became renowned manufacturing hubs, transforming Guangdong into an export-oriented province.

      I saw some prediction Chinese companies will be making up 30% of the world EVs by 2035 ( ie not just manufacturing for others - but specific brands )- but this chip ban could hit hard - China can make I think 14nm chips - that may be enough - as many industrial chips don't have to be on 3 or 4nm - Still there's a lot of knowledge in SOC design - Will take PRC along time to get UV chip making - a lot of it is skilled personal with huge experience - PRC older people know hardship - it's the young promised the opium of consumerism and jobs that will cause strife - China will muddle on - they will export their own stuff - but much of it will become commodity , low profit , high volume - I'm not too fussed on that as -If you want to keep paying Apple , Samsung $1200 every couple of years for just a phone go right ahead - when even now a $300 phone is excellent - and 5 years on 3nm SOCs - they will run fast , efficient and 20Mb camera is still enough - even if big guys pushing huge numbers with noisy sensors - so need extra processing to clean it up to get a clean unnecessary 256 MB snapshot

      Not diplomatically, no, but that's mainly because there isn't a whole lot the world could do short of committing actual acts of war to punish China. The fun part is that we don't have to, because private corporations are punishing China way more effectively than governments could, simply by leaving.

      I was university teaching in Ukraine 2019-2020 and in January 2020 we started getting messages that our Chinese students weren't returning and those students who'd spent Christmas in Odesa were panicked, trying to get back. I asked my Chinese what was going on and they said that there were reports from their families that there was a deadly flu in Wuhan and there were bodies on the streets. At the time, there were two Chinese doctors who reported the situation, but they disappeared, and WHO said there was nothing to worry about. The CCP and WHO colluded on suppressing news.

    A big factor that caused the closure of trade with other countries is China's antagonistic foreign policy that involves the South China, specifically, the ridiculous territorial claims by China with their 9 dash liline. This resulted in even moderate countries ended up rethinking their economic and political relationship with China. Thus now, China is considered the big bad bully by most democratic countries that China had been heavily trading with.
    Xi really blew it when he started pursuing the 9 dash line claim, because, most countries now can use it as leverage against him and the CCP in future economic and political negotiations, especially with countries negatively affected by the 9 dash line.

    The woman speaking in the second half of the video is amazingly wise and observant. For a country so dependent on imported materials and energy paid for by selling manufactured goods to threaten war on its biggest customers is madness. And a similar madness is the assumption that China is entitled to steal technology, and that it can acquire high end chips and use them militarily against the very countries whose constant investment and freedom of inquiry has developed them. We do not need to worry about China developing chip technology as good as our own, let alone better. They are too corrupt, so all they can do is copy and attempt to steal. But I really feel for the ordinary people who would do good work if only they could. Life in a kleptocracy: nasty, brutish, and short.

    The lady at the end of the video gave a level-headed concise summary of what ails the Chinese export-oriented economy. For decades, China relied and basked in "Made in China" exports which were cheap and made with low labor cost. They neglected innovation, the bottomline of which is research and development. Instead of making their own brand, they focused on stealing copyright and IP theft. Instead of investing in high-technology, they settled with reverse-engineering and the like. Now their short-sightedness is showing. That lady should give this lecture to those "patriotic" Chinese who thinks that dogma can feed people.

      There are some well-informed people in China. Unfortunately, China's propaganda apparatus have fostered a different view. The Chinese government is very well aware of its dependencies and vulnerabilities. The U.S. along with its allies have urged China to open up its market, level the playing field in trade and investment, be more transparent in business and allowing outside observers, curb IP theft, enforce IP protection, eliminate forced IP transfers, stop forced slave labor, stop shipping illegal opiates and precursor substances, so on. China is not willing to accept none of that. The CCP is not willing to give in an inch as it would loosen their total control as well as given up on its ongoing gains. The West is also becoming more aware of China's unrestricted warfare and infiltration. China is no longer competive in labor along with its waning demograghic dividend and the enormous debt incured. Foreign businesses and investments are moving elsewhere. Xi Jin Ping knew China's best days are behind years ago, but refused any concessions and turning more inward. The economic decline would be less severe if the conditions were more favorable for the trading nations and their businesses and investors.

"The CCP looks fearsome from the outside, like some polished model of a totalitarian Stalinist dictatorship, but in fact it is fragile inside. . . . It has no way to handle the gaping mismatch between the ideology in its propaganda and the reality of its society." It's kaput.

CCP knew the loans would mostly not be paid back and that they would claim assets in lieu of repayment and increase their economic control on loan default. The winning country was always going to be the side whose unstated objective was closest to be achieved in the end. The true winners were the corrupt rulers and officials in the poor country who won either way. This was why the whole BRI was so popular and widely accepted.

Its a big mess on almost every aspect.
    Now that the goal is achieve, this is the result. Good job Xi Jiping such an awesome ''leader''
    Once the factory would be set in Vietnam/India and mexico, it would stay there only if the situation stays the same. Low wages, low operation cost, stable political situation. If not it would go somewhere else and if there is no point of having a factory far away to export to product, its obvious that they would save the transportation cost and made everything in north america/europe/japan/korea since this is the stable consumer base.

    One thing I didn’t hear mentioned was the individual people of the US. Many, many of us US citizens are doing our best to avoid products made in China. Many of us try to find other options that are made elsewhere as much as possible. We hold the CCP responsible for the pandemic, as well as have very hard feelings toward the CCP, for the threats to the US, the spy balloons, the turmoil in the South China Sea, and the support they are giving Russia. The CCP thinks they can take and do whatever they want, and the US citizens don’t feel our government is doing enough about it. Therefore we each do what little we can to reduce our own contribution to the finances of the CCP. As individuals, we don’t have an effect, but when a great percentage of us follow the same plan, the effect grows immensely. Our companies are not going to order merchandise that isn’t selling.

    I don’t trust the official figures in Chinese GDP and it’s growth. I think China’s GDP is more in the $12-14 trillion range. I doubt that they will grow next year either.

    At one time the label "Made in Japan" was a synonym for "cheap or low tech." The Japanese fixed that problem over many years and became a powerhouse of manufacturing and processing. Japan developed its own high quality, cost effective, business and manufacturing culture and the world beat a path to its markets. Outside investors in China have also invested a lot in market research, IR&D, etc. They really do not like learning that their contract manufacturers have stolen that intellectual property (IP) with the aid of the Chinese government and courts, and used it to subsidize goods that compete with their own products, from golf clubs to microchips. To top that off, the CCP has targeted universities and companies outside of its borders for technologies useful for military purposes. Eventually, the risks to China's customers was not worth access to a cheap supply chain.

China, after 50 years, still produces crap products (on their own), while their "brands" are all cheap rip-offs of Western companies, with cookie-cutter knock-off tech. How "innovative" is Alibaba, really? How "innovative" is Huawei? They aren't THIS is the difference. China's stuck forever in the MIDDLE INCOME TRAP!

    👔 The garment industry in Guangzhou's Hawaii District is facing a downturn, resulting in decreased labor demands and depressing wages.
    00:19
    The persistent international industry migration has forced many foreign trade processing factories to shut down or relocate.
    The number of recruiting employers diminishes while the number of job seekers grows, depressing wages further.
    Some factories demand working 16 hours per day offering less than 2 US dollars per hour.
    🏭 Many factories in Shenzhen and Dongguan are struggling and closing down due to the challenging economic environment.
    04:53
    Factories in Shenzhen are struggling to keep up with demand, leading to many closures.
    The Xinxiao industrial area in Shenzhen has seen numerous factories come and go, highlighting the difficult situation.
    Dongguan City is also facing challenges, with few factories hiring and many spaces available for rent.
    💔 Thousands of manufacturing firms in Dongwan have shut down, with the manufacturing sector being hit the hardest.
    09:12
    Over 3,000 companies in Dongwan have closed between 2022 and 2023, with the manufacturing sector accounting for over 1,700 of these closures.
    Many factories in Dongwan have started giving employees extended unpaid holidays to cut costs due to the sharp decrease in orders.
    In Shenzhen, the cost of living is already high and many daily wage workers are struggling to find jobs, with some factories reducing hourly rates to as low as 12 or 13 Yen.
    🌍 The decline in manufacturing sector in Guangdong due to the trade war and pandemic highlights the need for diversifying supply chains.
    14:34
    The trade war between the US and China has prompted Western corporations to relocate orders to other countries to avoid tariffs.
    Guangdong's foreign trade has been declining due to the relocation of processing and trading factories.
    The success of Guangdong's industrial upgrading strategy depends on the transfer of technology from developed countries.
    🌍 The closure of Chinese factories due to the loss of international market orders is inevitable and irreversible, which will greatly impact China's foreign trade.
    19:07
    China mainly plays the role of producing and processing in the global supply chain, rather than providing products with Chinese branding.
    The current dip in foreign trade orders is the result of the CPTP mechanism, and if not reversed, China's foreign trade will become insignificant in five years.
    The goods China exports to the U.S. are often branded as American products, such as Apple phones, Dell computers, and Nike sportswear.
