"Made In China" Changed Japan

The products made in China are generally accepted by the Japanese public, and even have penetrated into all fields of Japanese society.

Most of the labels read "made in China", and most of the food in supermarkets is from China.

It can even be said that Chinese goods have become the mainstay of Japanese life.

"Made in China" changed Japanese clothing, food and shelter

In Japan's so-called "100 yuan shop", everything is 100 yen, and the variety is abundant, and everything is available. It is almost necessary for Japanese consumers to purchase their daily homes.

Most of the products of "100 yuan shop" come from China, whether it is home products, or clothes, stationery and other things around us, we can find the shadow of "Made in China".

"Made in China" has even extended to the catering industry and food processing industry.

Chinese restaurants can be found everywhere in Japanese streets, and even Japanese chefs also set up Chinese restaurants to cook Chinese dishes.

Not only that, the Japanese are also consuming processed foods from China.

In a workshop in Shandong, workers are processing fish and octopus exported to Japan every day.

On the other hand, Japanese eels and live sea urchins are breeding in China's farms, and a batch of them are waiting to export to Japan.

Sashimi is one of the most popular foods in Japan, but Japanese consumers can enjoy sashimi without fish bone. All the workers in the aquatic products processing plant of Sino Japanese joint venture in Liaoning province spend 8 hours a day in tweezers to root out the fish bones in the raw fish fillets.

If any piece of bone in the food is not rejected, it may be complained by customers.

Processed sashimi and other seafood processed in China have already entered many of the fast food chains and supermarkets in Japan.

"Japanese culture" is produced in China

Japan's traditional industries, which have always been proud of, are gradually shifting to China.

At present, it is difficult to find one hundred percent kimono made in Japan.

In the 90s of last century, the troubled Japanese textile industry persuaded the government to open the long protected domestic silk market and allow foreign silk producers to join in the competition.

Although the quality of Japanese silk is excellent, it is at least 20 times the price of silk produced in China, Brazil or Southeast Asian countries.

With the fall in tariffs and the influx of cheap foreign silk, Japan's silk industry is almost completely collapsed.

In order to reduce labor costs, more and more Japanese kimono hall opened a garment factory in China.

In recent years, the famous kimono kimono manufacturer has opened a garment factory in China and North Korea, and reduced the loom from the 100 to 10.

Now, the kimono hall is responsible for making the latest model. After the sample is made, it will be shipped to China and produced by China's garment factories.

Kimono industry insiders admit that almost all the guilds are producing kimono in China or using electric looms.

Very few clubs are still being sewn by hand. What's more, the kimono made in China is actually very difficult to distinguish from the kimono made in Japan.

In addition to industrial production, even Japan's creative industry has come to China to find labor.

If you pay attention to the Japanese animation such as the GUNDAM Series in recent years, it is easy to find that Chinese animation companies appear in the production group's name.

In order to seek cultural exchange and cheap labor, Japan's tomb restoration animation company (Tokyo) set up a "Beijing writing art artwork" company in China as early as 1991.

So far, we have participated in the production of cartoons such as the great forest and astro boy.

The average age of the employees is only 23 years old.

Basically, it is basically done by Chinese staff on the computer.

But the management of the company pointed out that the level of Chinese animation is improving.

But if we put it aside, we may go on the road of mass production, and the quality will be difficult to guarantee.

Therefore, Japanese instructors still need to come to China to supervise production.

Limitations and breakthroughs of "made in China"

The main advantages of Chinese enterprises when they stick to the domestic market and attack the international market are still concentrated on cost, that is, they take advantage of price advantage to seize the market. However, this is only a temporary phenomenon. Once Japan or Korea or European enterprises successfully move to China, the strength of our existing labor and land rent, which is the foundation of cost advantage, will soon be lost, especially in R & D investment. There is a big gap between "made in China" and "made in Japan".

Chinese manufacturers must draw lessons from it. Factories with low technology as the main body can hardly meet the world standards.

Most of the world famous enterprises have the ability to develop their products independently, forming a scientific research, production, sale and service. Most Chinese factories are basically imitation or OEM, and technology is controlled by others. The most profitable part is in the hands of others.

China's scientific research system is almost out of line with the production system, so the product development ability is low, mainly based on imitation, and few products are self-developed.

More noteworthy is that "made in Japan", "made in Europe" and "made in the United States" are not only moving their production base to China, but also competing to build R & D bases in China, improving their R & D system, and snatching cheap Chinese labor force while robbing excellent Chinese technicians.

Therefore, when Chinese enterprises are in danger and enjoy the world of "making Chinese" products, we should also start from the aspects of technology development, management quality control and talent training, so that the "world factory" can be promoted to a "world class factory".
