Dongguan, once dubbed the ‘factory of the world’, had a manufacturing industry that was unparalleled globally. It is said that in the past, for every 4 smartphones worldwide, 1 was produced in Dongguan. For every 5 computers globally, 1 was made in Dongguan. For every 5 wool sweaters and every 10 pairs of shoes, 1 was manufactured in Dongguan. However, that brilliance is now a thing of the past. Today, Dongguan is visibly declining at an alarming rate. Factories are closing, unemployed workers are found wandering the streets, and brick-and-mortar stores lack business. Everywhere you look, there’s a scene of desolation.

Hilarious – I'm finding it hard to stop laughing. For years now, I've always made a point of avoiding stuff from China.
This is what happens to peaceful industries when the entire world is preparing for war.
The unemployed will have to go into the military. The larger problem of infrastructure. They have much to do.
Propaganda at best. Too negative about China to the point it's one sided
China is messing with the True and Living God by rewriting our Sacred Bible (God's Precious Word). This is just the beginning if they continue to "mock God". Our God will not be mocked.
Galatians 6 vs 7…Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Matthew 24 vs 25…Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Revelation 22 vs 18-19… For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Deuteronomy 4 vs 2…You must not add to or subtract from what I command you, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you.
China Observer, stop the bullshit.Reverse psychology even.
How can anyone think that China can continue to be the factory of the world when the government does everything it can to crap on other countries? China is the world bully!
Finaly the companies realise comunist governments are not good for business. I am sorry for the chinese families that are slaves of CCP. Chinese comunist party
This is karma for China's greedy attitude and it will suffer the people , they act as the super power and no ending happinness , they bullied the small and develop countries, stealing the island…
Great news no longer producing cheap exports very little profit. Now people are empowered to do what they like. China could be innovation r d center. Then products are made in other nations such as pakistan, ethiopia, bangladesh, vietnam, cambodia and others.
Western disruption causing havoc in China
This is what happens if you dont operate with american trade rules. China think itself is bigger and a top dog but they dont realise they are at the mercy of the american capitalist economy and their allies.

China is growing 5 % this year and the USA is 1.9 % .
China has hundreds of millions of people producing , they have commercial relations with 140 countries in the world, they are a communist country, civilian people have a lot of money for the state to milk 🥛, etc China won't fall unfortunately they always found ways to grow.
China is in an economical war with Europe, the USA and other countries raising tax on china's products and still manages to grow 5 % congratulations on China
What difference is there when the US wants all US companies to move out of China but the majority of the factories in Vietnam are owned by the Chinese and Chinese workers will move to Vietnam just like they moved out of their cities.😅
About time.
I long for the day when i picked sonething up and it doesn't say Made in China. It's good to see something different once in a while.
Good news for the whole WORLD! 🎉
Hahahahhahaha…….
More western propaganda from this CIA sponsored site.
There are millions of homeless Americans living in the streets.
There are millions of Americans on drugs .
All these are documented in videos.
Are there any videos of millions of homeless Chinese?
None at all.
Use your brains and stop listening to lies.
So who produce the world's smartphones now?
Don't know who is putting all the videos but china is growing every year more and more muscular
One thing modern Chinese don't understand is that their government is not as magically great as they think, in fact the "economic miracle" that they experienced, allowing China's economy to get as big as it is now, is due to the American elites moving America's manufacturing bases to Asia since the 90s, where they can pay the Chinese less $ to abundantly manufacture sub par products and then sell them to Americans for cheap.
American elites can move their businesses anywhere they like, Vietnam for instance. Latin America, Central America, Africa, etc; and then what will happen to the "economic miracle"?
These were all USA jobs 20-30 years ago.
China the Global Exporter of Covid is finally receiving its own medicine for itself of unemployment😆
In the past, Indian markets used to be flooded with Chinese products, but this is no longer the case. This shift may be attributed to China's expansionist policies, which have led to more competitive business environments. It's important to recognize that neglecting India is not a viable strategy for any nation aiming for success. Successful business partnerships thrive when there is mutual demand and benefit from both sides.
"Growth"
WHO ADVISED YOU CHINA IS ALL J.O.H.N. HOWARD POOFDER ?
it's a doggone dongguan tragedy
It's about time that the civilized world stops supporting a rabid communist regime.
seems like no one wants Chinese electronics in their infrastructure. not workers fault somewhere else lies the blame better look in the mirror they behind you
You know here in West evil capitalistic societies when a company lay off thousands of workers it is a lengthy process to negotiate compensations with the unions, and if a company wants to relocate then the workers get unemployment benefits and compensation. It's funny how in a supposed socialistic dreamland the workers are just cast aside and don't get any benefits or compensation.
I'm so upset that I can't buy anything from Russia or Dongguan, Southern China anymore.
It will take a complete change of administration to get China back to where it is before. Also stop thinking about ww3. Otherwise no countries will continue trading with you.
