Do not say "Made in China" but ... "Made in World"!
Made in China
, it was wrong, talking about actually a concept that does not exist? It is believed that Pascal Lamy, head of the World Trade Organization. In his view, it is very clear: when we talk about made in China, we'd better talk about the World Made in
! The best example is the manufacture of an object like the iPod. Officially, the iPod is manufactured in China. It is therefore a product made in China
and helping to widen the U.S. trade deficit with China to $ 1.9 billion. However, the party the iPod really made in China represents only 73 million. Whence the difference? But other countries, simply!
In the case of the iPod, it is actually assembled in China but the research, design and marketing are conducted in the United States. As for components, they are manufactured in other Asian countries as China. When an iPod has labeled as a product made in China is therefore false.
World? To reduce trade tensions between countries. An example. United States, members regularly attempt to punish China because of trade deficit with the Middle Kingdom. Yet we have just seen, trade is now accounted for as if a product was manufactured in one country - China, in this case - while the production line involves a multitude of nations. Realizing it would help reduce tensions between countries.
Another example is little known. Do we know that 54% of total exports of China are made by foreign companies established in China and not Chinese companies ? This means, in simple terms, these are European and American companies that are parties to relocate to China to sell us products allegedly made in China
. We forget too often.
