Thought
China makes everything
China makes most of the world's things because it organises better than anyone, not because its labour is cheap.
Look around any room.
China made most of what's in it, from cars and batteries to solar panels, ships and robots.
The West called it cheap labour for decades.
China builds factories, ports and power lines faster than anyone, and that speed makes it the world's default power.
Most countries will spend the next decade envying it, not matching it.
