About Chindia Alert blog

Chindia Alert blog is a continuously updated component of our website Chindia Alert: hidden dragon, crouching tiger that aims to alert you to the threats and opportunities that China and India present. China and India require serious attention; case of ‘hidden dragon and crouching tiger’. Without this attention, governments, businesses and, indeed, individuals may find themselves at a great disadvantage sooner rather than later.

Chindia is a virtual land of China and India. This land will remain virtual – at least for the foreseeable future. Although Chindia may never become a real entity, China and India individually will have a dramatic impact on the world stage in the foreseeable future. You’ll be living in their world – very soon.

There is not only huge interest in China and India, but there is an over abundance of information. You can hardly open a newspaper without at least one article on China or India. However, as we know, having lots of information available does not necessarily make one any wiser.

Our website attempts to make the information more meaningful by putting some order or structure to the information.

  1. Greetings Chiahou Zhang,

    I’m a student journalist and I’d love to get in contact with you to get your thoughts about the idea of foreign manufacturers repatriating work from China. You’ve highlighted a couple of news articles which state the case, but you use words to introduce these pieces as if it is not the case – so I’d like to hear what you think.

    My email is danny@thenanfang.com.

    All the best

    Danny

    • Hi Danny – you’re right, I’ve blogged or reblogged around half a dozen cases of repatriation of manufacturing work from China back to the US or UK. Most are in the tech area but not all. My comments were made in a “I wonder if ..” manner rather than either to say there is a definite trend or that these are incidental examples.

      What is clear is that with China mandating salary increases of 10-15% pa for minimum wages, the policy is to push the manufacturers up the food chain into producing more value added goods rather than low cost items only. interestingly, I haven’t picked up many articles where production is going from China into the rest of SE Asia. This is possibly due to the originators deciding that with the high cost of logistics and the long delay in supply chain, it will only be a matter of time before it makes sense to manufacture in the ‘home’ country, so why go through an intermediate stage. Only my conjecture.

      Hence my mind is open at present.
