If it is a Chinese company, why would China move its factories out of China? That is like committing a suicide.

If the company is non-Chinese , what I said in my earlier post below is still relevant.

TCL build TV factories in VN, Lenovo plan to build factories in VN. Many CN textile-auto part factories r in VN now.

why would China move its factories out of China? Trade war, dude. 25% tariff to CN products is too bad for TCL TV and Lenovo laptop.

Very strange question, the government is the government, the enterprise is the enterprise.
Enterprises will not listen to the government, enterprises want profits.
The U.S. government also wants Apple to produce in the United States, Cook said it was impossible. even if it does not produce in China, it will also be in other countries, where profits go.

Wrong.CN is the biggest Apple's customer, thats why Apple wanna stay in CN.

While VN is not biggest customers for TCL, Lenovo or best place for export TCL,Lenovo products.

TCL, Lenovo didnt come to Pak cos CN Govt dont want them to come.

Shift to India is understandable. We are a very large market. But not moving to Pakistan and instead choosing Bangladesh Malaysia Vietnam Thailand but no Pakistan is probably a reflection of China knowing Pakistan is a true colony that is a supine client, and does not need to curry favour with, any more than strictly required.

indians are here to bark pakistan no matter what . in reality 62 billions have be investing in pakistna and many industrial zones are getting ready for industry .

Political instability, financial instability, unskilled workforce, low women’s participation rate, lack of investment in healthcare and education, low literacy rates (can’t be in skilled workforce), lack of critical infrastructure (& chronic energy shortages), government policy leading to worse trade balance and preference of expenditure and imports to boost growth, lack of supply side reforms and export friendly policies.

Some of these are being addressed, but that may not last. Some have never been addressed properly in our entire history. And until they are, don’t expect any miracles. First two points IMO are the biggest issues.

 

[CrazyZ]

Major source of FDI into Pakistan is China....So who says China is not investing in manufacturing in Pakistan. I would give this time. Factories move between developing countries all the time. Improving security in Afghanistan, improving HDI and energy/transportation infrastructure in Pakistan combined with lower labor costs will encourage more production in Pakistan in time.

 

[nahtanbob]

because labor is very expensive in Pakistan

 

[xyxmt]

I have lived and worked in Pakistan, US and Canada and have seen the life style of Labor (skilled labor). US is not the only country where labor rights are protected and labor unions are allowed and protected. based on what information you get the blue face?

Indian Hubris Never Fails To Amaze Me.Just Because Big Ticket Hi Tech Brands Like Nintendo and Apple Prefer Vietnam and Thailand Over Pakistan Doesn't Mean Pakistan Is Getting Ignored.Chinese Have Already Started The Relocation of Factories They Committed Under OBOR/CPEC

Do Tell If You Want More Examples

With fresh tariffs on China more factories will move out of there. It’s now an even greater opportunity for Pakistan.

True

 

[Turingsage]

All the "will do" "coming soon" "China plans to invest" etc etc etc etc is not investment. Its just day dreaming by losers
