We talk with Cameron Johnson 江凯明, Partner at Tidalwave Solutions and APAC Strategy Head at FAO Global on the changing landscape for China manufacturing. Cameron has been in China for almost 20 years and was the Asia General Manager at a leading carbon fiber company for 7 of those years.
-What are the challenges facing foreign manufacturers in China?
-Are these companies moving out as much as the pundits says they are? To where?
-How is an increasingly digital manufacturing process and supply chain helping give Chinese manufacturers a continued edge?
-What points in the value chain are driving this digital process?
-How are manufacturers and buyers diversifying their risk of concentrating too much supply coming from one country, especially after COVID-19?
