Today's NYT:
"On the fringes of cities all over China, new factories are being built day and night, and existing factories are being upgraded with robots and automation."
China’s investments and advances in manufacturing are producing a wave of exports that threatens to cause factory closings and layoffs not just in the United States but also around the globe.
China is using more factory robots than the rest of the world combined.
"When Zeekr, a Chinese electric carmaker, opened a factory four years ago in Ningbo, a two-hour drive south of Shanghai, the facility had 500 robots. Now it has 820, and many more are planned."
China’s factory output is bigger than the combined manufacturing of the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Britain."
