Description

China's share of global exports continues to rise despite US import restrictions. Rather than pulling back, the country is evolving from a "Made in China" to a "Made by China" model, supplying critical capital goods and high-value components to emerging markets such as Vietnam, Mexico and India. And after dominating the electric vehicle supply chain, China is now aggressively targeting humanoids and robotics as its next frontier. Chetan Ahya, Chief Asia Economist at Morgan Stanley, joins host John Lee on the Asia Centric podcast to break down the five distinct factors driving this industrial strategy. He also discusses how policymakers have been effective in anticipating global demand trends, but also the investor risks tied to manufacturing overcapacity.
