Is This The End Of China's Dominance In Global Manufacturing?

Watch it on YouTube:

In this video, I want to explore the topic of whether China, as a country, is losing its competitive advantage as the world’s manufacturing hub and its implication to us as investors.

Let’s talk about it.

China – The worlds manufacturing hub

The rise of China as the global manufacturing hub can be attributed to attractive low costs for labor, the country's enormous scale of operations, and raw materials ecosystem.

That said as China progresses from a developing to a developed country it is to no one’s surprise that as a country, China is slowly losing its competitive edge which primarily revolves around cost.

A quick look at the GDP per capita within SEA would highlight the fact that China as country is no longer cost-competitive as compared to other emerging countries within Asia itself.
