Today China is an increasingly strong and established economic power, infact Chinese products circulate all over the world. The reason isn’t only the low cost of labor. During the years, China has established as the country where manufacturing products is more efficient and cheaper than other countries, also because the Chinese producers operate in a market without Western rules (minimum wage laws and other Western regulations). In recent years, in China, the policy of reducing pollution has propagated and now there is an increase of the cost of production. An another important factor concerning policy of the reduction of export tax, which started in 1985 and it abolished double taxation on exported goods. Low tax rates are very important to keep production costs low, which has attracted investors and companies in China.
An Another important factor is the Chinese currency. In this regard, China has been accused of having lowered the value of the yuan to obtain advantages in exports over similar goods produced in United States. Since 2019, the Chinese bank has lowered the yuan to 7.0205 per dollar and this still makes Chinese imports more advantageous than other countries. All these reasons, added together, have created in China, a commercial ecosystem that makes it, currently and for a long time, the world factory.
