One of China’s top think tanks released a report last year with the same conclusion.

Tiers of Manufacturing Powers

Tier 1 United States
Tier 2 Germany and Japan
Tier 3 China, South Korea, France, Italy, UK, a few North European countries
Tier 4 Everybody else

I think this is very good. China's benchmarks are very high standards. I wouldn't say though that US is more tier 1 than Germany or Japan, unless it relates to military and aerospace sectors. I am surprised Russia is not considered Tier 3.

List looks reasonable, with possible exception of SK.

I actually think SK could qualify for tier two.

China is actually Tier 1 in some areas of manufacturing, but Tier 3 in manufacturing software and management.

Very enjoyable reading.

would've ended up a completely different article had China lost control and collapsed from COVID.

US first is a joke. Switzerland tier 4? lmao.

I've been thinking, in the past most goods were made for export and hence had to be near the ports, and there's recently been so much talk about manufacturing moving to Africa because the coastal regions are becoming too expensive.

Is it possible to shift manufacturing inland and the new market instead of other countries would be China's coastal regions itself? Would keep the money within China and bring a slew of benefits like better transport between interior and coast, more equal development

Remember that both China and the USA have consumer retail sales of US$ 5-6 Trillion.

And that there are inland waterways like the Changjiang River.
So 10,000ton ships are sailing all the way up to Chongqing.

Agree. That list is a complete joke, just propaganda, the reverse propaganda.

How did China achieve such high growth rates dragging hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and becoming the biggest trading nation in the history of world, like the history of the world, with a 4th rate manufacturing base?

Guess the vast stores of petroleum, and low efficiency farming, and the money printing, along with the traditional output of paper fans and back scratchers from the SOE factories, pushed China forward!

This Gordon Chang type of propaganda from official Chinese government organs, will be believed wholeheartedly by the Gordon Chang type of bureaucrats working in the American government organs.

If it works for Comrade Chang in America, it will work for Comrade Chang in China.
