An interesting piece about why manufacturing has moved to China and other Asian countries, and it’s largely not down to labour costs. It equally applies to the UK.
It certainly indicates why the UK may never be able to compete in manufacturing again, at least until 3D printing encompasses a great many more materials.
Maybe we need to look to Germany and other developed nations who still produce things. What are they doing? Producing low-volume, high-profit or high-tech goods no one else can?
