Closure Of Manufacturing Industry, Curtain Opening

Many years ago, influenced by the opening of China's southeastern coastal cities, some business owners flocked to Guangdong and other coastal areas for gold nuggets and staged the first "southeast peacock flight" tide. Many years later, by the low cost attraction of developing countries and regions such as Southeast Asia, the "second Peacocks Flying Southeast" was staged.

"Three years ago, in the evening, the street was full of workers, furniture making and making.

The small appliances are gone now. "

The manager of a sound company in Xiaolong village, Xiaolong village, Guangdong, said, "the workers say that the wages in Vietnam are less than half of them, so the bosses are investing in Vietnam."

And Dongguan, which is separated from the river of Yu Yu, is equally difficult.

According to a recent survey of manufacturing industry in Dongguan, "the reduction of orders, the rising cost of labor and the cold spell of Dongguan's industry" become the local market.

"New normal".

According to the data provided by Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Commerce, Dongguan has closed down 243 enterprises in 1~9 months this year.

According to magazine data, the average labor cost in China's manufacturing sector is 3.27 US dollars per hour, two higher than Vietnam's, and 1/4 higher than that in Malaysia.

Status quo: cheap labor in Guangdong Province, Guangdong Province.

Orders from the year to the end of the year, workers from different accents all over the country, bustling streets and neon lights in the evening are the golden ages of the dense area of Guangdong Industrial Park.

However, the migration of labor-intensive industries began to peel gold.

Zhu Xiaodan, governor of Guangdong, recently admitted that the development of Guangdong's manufacturing industry is facing many new challenges, mainly from two aspects: first, the action of developed countries to return to manufacturing industry, and the two is the low-cost competition between developing countries and regions such as Southeast Asia, which is "two aspects of the squeeze".

"Every year, wages will rise and rise. In the past, when there was not much regulation, few bosses would dare to give the workers all the wages before the new year's Eve, for fear that the workers would not come back after the new year.

The manager of the above audio company introduced, "but now," recruitment is difficult "is no longer a problem. The problem is that when orders are reduced, there is no need for so many workers, and even the construction of factories in Vietnam may be more economical.

In fact, because of its low price, orders for the global textile industry, small household electrical appliances, toy industry and furniture industry are sliding to Southeast Asia.

Cheap labor in Southeast Asia is also frequently beckoning to manufacturing bosses: labour intensive manufacturing spillovers are accelerating in Guangdong.

As far as I know, about 40% of the furniture factories in Guangdong have moved to Southeast Asia to open factories, so as to make use of cheaper labor locally.

"

In December 2014, the International Labour Organization released the global wage report, which showed that Vietnam's average monthly salary in 2012 was 181 US dollars, Indonesia's US $174, and Thailand's US $357.

According to the statistics of Guangdong Bureau of statistics, the average monthly wage of the workers in Guangdong in 2012 was 4215 yuan (about 654 US dollars), and in 2014 it had risen to 4957 yuan.

Impact: closure of manufacturing industry to open up the curtain

The competition for cheap labor in Southeast Asia is coming. For China's manufacturing industry, the only way to solve it is to locate its position more accurately on the global industrial chain.

In Zhu Xiaodan's view, the rising cost factor, the gradual decline of demographic dividend, and the increasingly tight land resources and environmental factors have become the main constraint factors for the development of Guangdong's manufacturing industry. Moreover, the total manufacturing industry in Guangdong is very large, but the overall quality is not too high. In terms of industrial structure, innovation ability, product quality, standards and brands, and information level, there is still a big gap between the development level of the international advanced manufacturing industry and the international level. "Overall evaluation, Guangdong's manufacturing industry is still at the middle and low end of the global industrial value chain."

As a big province of China's manufacturing industry, the difficult position of manufacturing industry in Guangdong also represents the predicament of China's manufacturing industry to some extent.

Recently, the Jiangsu investigation team of the National Bureau of statistics has conducted a detailed survey of nearly 50 manufacturing enterprises in South of Jiangsu. The survey shows that domestic manufacturing industry has been attacked by the high-end manufacturing industry from the western developed countries and the rise of the Southeast Asian low-end manufacturing industry. The market space has been greatly reduced, coupled with the continuous rise in labor costs, the limited land available for development, and the increasing demand for environmental and resource protection.

In South of Jiangsu, overcapacity, insufficient internal and external demand, declining product prices, rising financing and labor costs seriously restrict the development of local manufacturing industry. Transformation and upgrading has become an urgent task for all manufacturing enterprises in South of Jiangsu.

Bai Ming, deputy director of the international market research department of the Ministry of Commerce, said: "the pformation and upgrading task of the manufacturing industry needs to be integrated into the system innovation. At the same time, the pformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry is related to the service industry, including R & D, marketing, logistics, finance and so on, and this producer service industry has a bigger appreciation."

And the early entry into the "new normal" of Guangdong has opened the curtain of pformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry.

According to Zhu Xiaodan, Guangdong will break through the main problems of lack of core technology, low industrial level, imperfect industrial chain, low total factor productivity, imperfect green and low carbon cycle development mode, and promote the pformation of Guangdong from manufacturing big province to manufacturing strong province, and changing Guangdong manufacturing to create Guangdong.

Core tip: Guangdong is squeezed in two ways.

According to the data provided by Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Commerce, Dongguan has closed down 243 enterprises in 1~9 months this year.

Zhu Xiaodan, governor of Guangdong, recently admitted that the development of Guangdong's manufacturing industry was faced with many new challenges, mainly from two aspects, one is the action of developed countries to return to manufacturing industry, and the other two is the low cost competition in developing countries and regions such as Southeast Asia, which is "two aspects of squeezing".
