Chinese Factories are Insane!

Exploring China's industrial landscape exposes its manufacturing and technological potential. I mvisited three Zhongshan factories that contribute to China's global manufacturing leadership.
A facility with 16 years of experience in weighing equipment is the first stop. The plant's ability to make practically every scale part ensures quality and accuracy. Simple domestic scales to complex industrial ones with smart technologies and internet connectivity are available. This variety shows the weighing equipment industry's evolution and technological advancement.
Next, a Torch Development Zone solar panel plant makes window-integrated panels. Automation technologies demonstrate China's renewable energy advances in production. Filming is restricted, but sustainability and efficiency are stressed, reflecting the country's devotion to renewable energy and technical innovation.
Galanz, a microwave oven manufacturer, is the last stop. In addition to leading the household appliance market, this factory supplies microwave ovens worldwide.The factory campus emphasizes sustainability and renewable energy. Technology and efficiency are seen in production capacity, sustainability, and appliance functionality improvement.
China's manufacturing industry i, productive, demonstrating its economic strength and forward-thinking vision. Local authorities and plant managers collaborated to reveal the intricate production processes that power the global economy, displaying industry and its creative and dedicated workers.

I am very happy to see that a lot of the production lines had chairs for the workers. I tried working a factory job this year and only made it 2 weeks. I was happy to lift boxes, happy to walk the 12 kilometers a shift, happy to pay attention to repetitive tasks, and was ok with the hot steam venting into the work area as long as I had a fan. But standing in one spot on a concrete floor quickly became too painful, even with good shoes. And by the end of two weeks of 10 hour days, I decided I could no longer tolerate the pain when other options for employment exist. It is really simple, if you are staying in one spot, then that spot should have a chair. And the individual can decide for themselves if they need to sit or stand while performing the task.

[@mikehorn7099]

Same here. I worked 12 hour days 3-4 days a week for 4 months. Smashed my quota every single day through the heat, fumes, and noise and then one day there was a "safety" meeting where one of the managers said we were no longer allowed to have chairs because they were afraid someone was going to fall into a lathe..... I quit with no notice the following week although I should have been more assertive and quit on the spot. Some Americans have some serious nerve still spreading the old "chinese sweatshop" phrase when American factory workers are forced to stand for jobs that can be done while seated.

[@zhangzes]

As a Chinese mechanical engineer with 25 years of mechanical experience, I have worked in several machinery companies in different industries. (There were too many job opportunities in previous years) Now there are fewer companies copying advanced machines. But there are also many problems. For example, many companies do not pay attention to the welfare of workers, resulting in workers involved in precision machinery not growing well and working sloppily. Most engineers are afraid to innovate designs. There are not many good components.

[@ErikStewart]

Thanks for making this video - it is indeed very rare to film inside Chinese factrories. I am one of the few foreign engineers who actually worked in a Chinese factory as a manufacturing engineer for a few years. I'm sure you were happy to be granted access and be treated so well in the factories, but unfortunately there are so many negative aspects going on behind the scenes at these factories. Every time a visitor (or even a high-ranking internal manager) visited our factory, we needed to put on a show for them. This meant turning on the factory AGVs (which were never used in normal circumstances), turning on large monitors with fancy colorful charts, and doing crazy out of the ordinary things to impress all visitors. Many of us worked 13 hour days, we only got 1 egg and 1 small steamed bun for dinner provided by the factory canteen, everybody is screaming and arguing at full volume during the day, you get interrupted every 15 minutes when working on tasks because everyone thinks their need is the most important, etc. I could go on and on. But could never let visitors see any negative side of our factory because it would cause us to lose face. I'm happy you had a great time visiting the factories and spent so much time to organize the visits - I know how much effort it takes to create the connections and execute these plans. I only hope that people can see the truth of Chinese factories since I experienced them first-hand - not just the fictitious images that Chinese managers release and spread. I like your video but need to spread the truth at the same time😁

[@Crazytesseract]

The video maker has also been paid by the company/factory to ignore your comment.

[@WalkaboutRojo]

I appreciate your comments; it's great to have first-hand comments on this. I agree that many factories in China (and throughout the world) are as you described and it's good to talk about that reality. I have seen both; good and very bad. Typically the bad factories would never let a guy like me with a camera in there. It really depends on the company culture. Those who treat their employees well have high retention.

[@WalkaboutRojo]

I have been offered money to make videos for other companies, i never accept it. Often when i turn down the money, then the project falls apart as they can no longer dictate the narrative. If i take money, I would lose credibility for the video. I remain humble and poor.

[@jzeng2022]

If you are allowed in, the factory will of course show you the good side, as any factory in the world does. When you claim to be working in China and make negative corrections, you should provide evidence to support your claims, not just empty talk.

[@ErikStewart]

@@jzeng2022 I don't know why you would ask for evidence to support my claims. I listed very specific examples here that I personally experienced from my time working in China.

@@Andrew-rc3vh That might be the case but you would never work side by side of a welding robot unless you were wearing eye protection. Staring at the arc is very bad for you and they are normally enclosed by red acrylic to save your eyes from the exposure.

Amazing video and very well navigated, thanks. I saw some videos of dark factory, the whole factory turned the lights off because robots do not need light to operate, people just outside in control rooms and other sections.

[@WalkaboutRojo]

Cool, thanks

[@runeklok]

Those damn moss green floors again. I worked for a machinery company based out of the same region. When we got a building here in the states, they demanded that the floors be painted that moss green.

I was looking at those solar plates makes me sad. I was planning to buy one but prices have tripled. Thanks to the US.

We now live in a era where a worker in a sweetshop working long nasty hours is now not only making the very tech and products we all take for granted but working now along side robot welders and arms that cost more than the whole labor forces yearly salary in some areas of the world. Let that one sink in a moment.

[@hamstarblah6475]

Thanks for the video. Great Chinese technology

Imagine these factories being used for military purposes during a international conflict

[@WalkaboutRojo]

it's entirely possible.

Right. workers in the US and Europe would never agree to work for their whole life in a factory and doing all day the same movement of the hand.

[@WalkaboutRojo]

I would agree for the most part. And to be fair, the turnover rate of these workers can be quite high.

[@jackmiddleton2080]

The biggest employer in the US is Amazon. Amazon warehouses all over the US do this same level of labor. Only no one is permitted to sit. I think what you mean to say is that workers in the US wouldn't agree to Chinese wages.

[@lenny108]

@@jackmiddleton2080 Right, they want new workers to work full-time and not be able to pay the rent of their one-room apartment. 20 million Americans live in trailers.

Um, we invented this…

I usually don't get too excited about factories but your energy makes it interesting to watch.

[@ChinaSongsCollection]

@7:55 No kidding. For some reason, I thought you were about to say : "... I can not emphasise the amount of work it took to..." ... get access to that chicken nugget 🤔

Thank you! 😊

That’s a good programme.

"Do solid work, stay ahead of the pack" "Grasp the direction of three developments, take the lead in two areas" Maybe lost in translation.. but I have an appreciation for the "Safety and People First" signage we often see in American manufacturing

[@bobbys4327]

yup, in both shops....

[@aleksandersuur9475]

In Chinese it actually says "The beatings will continue until the morale improves" and "Work makes free"

[@wanaizat8688]

We need more videos like this. so impressing.

[@thepurpleufo]

Amazing.

[@mrmartin2079]

Very interesting - if you are doing more may I suggest you try showing tanneries - leather manufacturing is very interesting

[@WalkaboutRojo]

that's a great idea.

[@travistran9081]

one thing i love working in China is they have good breakfast, and lunch and dinner

[@sk84life0]

this is impressive, Chinese are amazing workers and smart. these factories are insanely BIG wow . Thank you for these amazing videos . love it

[@mikekok]

Mind blowing can't even describe a mere 1 % of what's available there. Only that you've to Multiple that by 99 x's to know what you're into when you visit chong shan or guo Chen. Still haunts me each time I visit by mum's home city. One couldn't just grasp the sheer complexity of lightings in a day, not a week but rather months to realise how complex a manufacturing hub it is till you get there!! Mildly put, it'll blow yr mind by a factor of 100 when you get down to it. Sad to say even my maternal side are all involved in lightings.

[@jrod7917]

That song in the background sounds like Berner- smokin with the top down!!!

[@Hermit-Crab]

So that's why they are the factory of the world.

[@ninchilang2019]

Video's like this is important for citizens in the U.S.A. to see! We are fed continuous propaganda here that we are the most innovating and powerful country in the world, clearly this is NOT true! Science for science is fine, but I will argue MFG. engineering has lead to more real world progress that effects day to day lives and global standard of living than anything else. Look at these factories, China is not the next world power, it is the CURRENT world power. They just need more exposure from video's like yours to highlight that fact.

[@mohannair5671]

Wonderful!!!!!

[@KAI-rf9ee]

Excellent 🎉

[@omicron0mega]

Nice, a Chinese sweatshop where you make less than $35 a week.

[@WalkaboutRojo]

Line workers make very little money, it's a low skilled, high turnover position, but they're just a fraction of the people who work in these factories.

[@jacintochua6885]

China alone has a huge market. Shouldn't be a surprise.

[@JohnDoe-cf8jz]

Very interesting indeed!
