Will ‘Made in China’ come to an end?

Manufacturing is the foundation of an economy and has an important role in the history of industrial development. It is also seen as an engine of economic growth.

China’s manufacturing sector has grown exponentially over the past seven decades, especially during the 40 years of reform and opening-up.
