Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Very interesting.
Watched this a few months ago and parts of it made me rage... LOTS of issues here, namely glossing over IP theft and calling it "The open-sourcing of the economy". What a load of BS. They trash X product (lets say an Apple phone for example) saying you can get better specs, cheaper price, etc. "why would you even want an apple phone??" Then they take their shitty, homebrew soldered phone and slap an Apple logo on it.
Clearly there is value in building a brand with a reputation for quality control and good design... but the china way is "opensourcing" your own product and slapping on whatever brand logo you feel like that day. Do not be surprised if domestic manufacturing makes a comeback in the next decade or so.
