As global trade dynamics shift amid rising tariffs, Chinese factories are proving their adaptability through technological innovation and strategic branding. CGTN's upcoming documentary series 'Chinese Factories Know How', premiering June 29, offers an inside look at this industrial transformation.
The series highlights factories across Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Anhui—regions driving China’s export economy—as they pivot toward smart production systems and cultivate global market resilience. Through interviews with economists and industry leaders, the documentary showcases how automation, sustainable practices, and cross-border collaboration are redefining manufacturing.
Viewers will witness how factories are overcoming supply chain challenges while strengthening domestic R&D capabilities. One segment features a Guangdong-based electronics manufacturer that reduced production costs by 18% through AI-driven quality control systems, while a Zhejiang textile firm gained international recognition by rebranding as a sustainable fashion innovator.
The series underscores China’s evolving role in global value chains, blending on-the-ground storytelling with macroeconomic analysis. As one interviewed expert notes: 'This isn’t just about making products cheaper—it’s about making them smarter.'
'Chinese Factories Know How' premieres June 29 on CGTN platforms worldwide.
