Recently in the news I was reading an article about
ﾗ鋻・ﾒﾔﾚﾐﾂ聞ﾀ・ｴｵｽﾒｻﾆｪﾎﾄﾕﾂ
a rule that was passed in the United States concerning American Flags.
ﾃﾀｹ晥ｸｮﾍｨ過ﾁﾋﾒｻ項針對ﾃﾀｹ彧憘・ﾄｷｨｰｸ
The rule, pushed by senator Mike Thompson from California

condemned the use of non-American-made flags to be used by the military

The Factory of the World - That is the name that many people have given to China.

that is not fully or at least has parts that were not produced in China.

The original incentive for pushing so many factories to China was mainly due to

companies outsourcing production to a country where human labor wascheap.

Present day China no longer has the lowest wages in the world.

However, it has now evolved into a country

that is well versed in shipping items in every corner of the world.

Although the wages have risen in China, the tight location of factories
盡管中國的工資標準已經上揚
and a deregulated economy still makes it a favorable ground for many other giants.

With a culture of producing so many items to be shipped to other countries,

it was just a matter of time till China as a whole

would learn how to perfectly replicate items that are popular abroad.

The most famous case out of all of these “copies” is probably Facebook’s Chinese equivalent of ﾈﾋﾈﾋ.

With the slow integration of VPNs (Virtual Private Network) in China,

The best example of that may be “Weibo” which is for lack of better words

an “innovation” of twitter but that was adapted to the Chinese market.

This “adapting” to the market is the China that I have been observing in the last few years.

To others this is a China that is heading towards modernization
