Japanese media, South Korean media, and Canadian media have all spoken out simultaneously, concerning China's manufacturing, sending a very strong signal!
On January 18, the Canadian CP24 website quoted a local car dealer saying "I was completely shocked," this dealer often participates in global exhibitions, but found that Chinese electric vehicles are rapidly entering markets around the world. He personally experienced it and was completely shocked by the quality, technological progress, and price of Chinese cars.
Interestingly, at the beginning of this month, Nikkei News also expressed amazement, stating that in 2025, the total global sales of Chinese car brands will exceed Japanese automakers for the first time, ranking first in the world, a position that had always been held by Japan before. South Korean media predicted that China's car exports will exceed 8 million units in 2026, a number that neither Germany nor Japan reached during their peak periods.
Automobiles are just one of the representative industries of the rise of China's manufacturing. Several years ago, Japanese media pointed out that China leads globally in eight fields, including computers, washing machines, surveillance systems, drones, and mobile phones. As China's manufacturing becomes popular worldwide, some foreign media have also noticed that young people's interest in domestic products is increasing, posing a challenge to Japanese and South Korean fashion brands.
This is clearly felt in daily life. A decade or so ago, imported appliances, mobile phones, cars, and Western clothing were considered trendy. Now, the market share of Japanese and South Korean televisions has fallen below 8%. The most typical example of fashion culture, where people used to follow Japanese and South Korean trends, now it's about national trend and traditional styles. Recently, with the cold weather and approaching the Spring Festival, young people prefer domestic products more. Bosideng was sold for less than 300 on Weipin, with over 20,000 buyer reviews for a single item, selling out completely.
Previously, owning an imported product was a source of pride; now, China's manufacturing has shocked the world. In short, this is not only a major reshuffling of the global industrial structure, but also a rapid return of consumer confidence, marking the end of the old era.
