China'S "World Factory" Status Is Challenged By "Made In China" To "ASEAN Manufacturing".

Where is the first place to invest and set up factories? Throw this problem to the manufacturing people in developed areas. The answer is mostly China in the past ten years, and now the answer may be Southeast Asia.

There are indications that China "

"Status" is being challenged by ASEAN countries, and "made in China" is slowly turning to "ASEAN manufacturing".

Against this background, some people worry that "made in China" will compete with ASEAN manufacturing in the future.

But at the China ASEAN Expo held here, most of the experts and scholars from China and ASEAN hold a negative attitude towards it. They believe that China ASEAN

The cooperation between China and ASEAN is still the main theme of "cooperation is greater than competition".

It is the experience of grassroots cadres in some western regions in China to undertake industrial pfer in developed areas and eastern regions.

The trend of shoemaking industry to ASEAN countries in eastern China is the reason why they feel the pressure.

Some foreign investors who originally invested in China have begun to pfer to ASEAN countries.

In 2000, China produced 40% of the world's Nike shoes, the world's first and Vietnam's share at that time accounted for only 13%.

Subsequently, China's output declined gradually, and Vietnam's output increased year by year.

2009, China and

The output of Nike shoes is the same as that of the whole world, which accounts for 36% of the world's total.

In 2010, the situation reversed and Vietnam replaced China as the world's largest producer of Nike shoes.

According to the 2012 world investment report released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and development (UNCTAD) in July, foreign direct investment inflows to Southeast Asia in 2011 amounted to US $117 billion, an increase of 26% over the previous year, while China's growth rate was less than 8% in the same period.

Another report from UNCTAD pointed out that the relative competitiveness of ASEAN countries in footwear manufacturing continued to increase because of the rising wage and production costs in East Asia, especially in China.

Many experts say that seeking cheaper costs and avoiding trade barriers are the two main reasons for the footwear industry's pfer to ASEAN.

At present, China has entered the middle stage of industrialization, and the eastern region has entered the late stage of industrialization.

In the later stage of industrialization, the price of land and labor will rise, and the environmental load will increase.

At present, the average per capita GDP of Southeast Asian countries is only 3000 US dollars, which is still in the early stage of industrialization, and the cost in all respects is relatively low, which provides an opportunity for industrial pfer.

Besides, avoiding trade barriers is also an important reason for industrial pfer.

In pursuit of trade balance and persecution

Considering the election ballots and so on, European and American countries tend to increase trade barriers against "made in China".

However, European and American countries "need to import from other regions even if they do not import from China". The pfer of Chinese shoe manufacturing to ASEAN countries can effectively avoid these barriers.

Nevertheless, experts and scholars and insiders still optimistic about the cooperation prospect between China and ASEAN.

Some experts believe that China's cooperation with ASEAN's shoes and other manufacturing industries can produce a "new growth point".

At present, the footwear industry is taking the whole process of production from a single enterprise, and the product value chain has been completed in different production workshops of an enterprise. It has been pformed into "multinational enterprises' decomposition of the product value chain to the supporting cooperative enterprises in different countries, and the production process is completed by a number of enterprises in the world."
