With the cost of manufacturing in China and shipping from China
having increased so substantially of late, and with all signs
pointing to those costs continuing to rise, many companies are
looking at doing their manufacturing outside China and you should
too.
This post was originally written in the summer of 2019 —
in pre-COVID times. But when I checked our most read China Law Blog posts, this is number one. This
tells me two very important things, the first of which I already
knew. One, companies are looking at moving their manufacturing outside China. Some are looking
at this so as to diversify their manufacturing and some are looking
to get out entirely. Two, we should update this post, which is
exactly what I have done below.
