    Also adding to the point, China is a massive country. Even when it's manufacturing sector is transitioning to high-end, many older factories are still in operation, with workers from even more rural areas of the country. Yet the Chinese economy is not high in consumption, so it means it can't really digest all these manufacturing power itself, relying on exporting, be it both in high-quality export, low-quality export, even exporting infrastructure projects with African countries.

    1:25 the reasons that China didn't infustrialize in the same way that Europe did are far more complex and numberable than so-called"national pride", especially since Chinese nationalism didn't really arise until the late 19th century. This is lazy.

      National pride might not be quite the correct way to phrase it. More like arrogance. China absolutely was semi-isolationist. And by the time they may have wanted to join the rest of the world they were so far behind they were completely dominated by other empires.

    Another thing this video fails to mention is that the shipping "discount" is put in place for countries classified as 3rd world countries in order to help them succeed in the global market. China keeps fighting efforts to re-classify it. Also to make a quality product in China, takes a lot of work. Companies spend a lot of time sending their people to factory to ensure every step is done correctly. Apple learn that the hard way. Factory keep trying to cur corners.

      Made in Germany: very high initial quality, very short expected lifespan, very poor value for money. A Cadillac and a Mercedes are equally crap after 5-10 years, but at least the Cadillac only cost half as much to keep on the road. Even industries that the Germans were untouchable in 10 years ago, like optics, are being surpassed by the Japanese.
