Changes in China's factories in 2010-2013. Changing manufacturing.
01/05/2008
Conditions at Hon Hai and a strike at Honda are part of a changing picture of worker dissatisfaction with wages and discipline at Chinese factories. The period of low prices and worker discipline of the kind that prevailed for several decades of industrialization appears to be closing. The Chinese government is also having second thoughts as America and Europe are no longer the growing markets they used to be, and as it weighs a policy shift to domestic consumption.

The situation in Guangdong province, Shenzen and other export focussed regions in China- 2008-2014
01/05/2008
The rise of a manufacturing sector based on low wages, migrant workers, lax pollution controls, and export demand, is hit by the decline in demand from the U.S. and Europe with slow economic growth and deficits, worker discontent and rising wages, and stricter environmental enforcement. Growth in the manufacturing secotr in Guangndong provice is estimated at 3.5% for 2012, half the overall growth rate in the province and many manufacturers from Taiwan are closing down older plants that can't compete. Experts in China call for a new type of industrialization baded on technology, R&D and worker training that can compete in the new situation of a resurgence of manufacturing industry in the U.S. and Europe.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
