I took a tour around the Yiwu Industrial Trade City - the largest wholesale market in the world. People come here from every country to buy goods to export. 5.5 million square meters, 7km long, this market is beyond giant. And it's all one interconnected building. I explored it for a day with Collin Abroadcast, a fellow market fanatic. From Christmas decorations to children's toys to hardware and tools, we found a bunch of stuff that blew our minds.

When I was in collage, I once doing a translation work for the buyer from North Europe, and they want to buy some scarf. I was like ,ok ,North Europe, Rich, will be easy, cause they will not buy too cheap things. Cheap things is very annoying to check the quality by the way.And they tell me they want to buy some good quality with reasonable price.I was still a young man who want to do my job perfect at that time, so I find my friend who has a cousin own a factory which famous for their stable quality ,and the factory give me a very good price. Then I send the sample and my price, but the Euro guy reply said quality is ok, but the price is too high. It is 14RMB each piece, for the quality it is very cheap.So I said this is my lowest price,if you want a lower one, it may have to drop the quality, and the Euro guys said OK,send me a sample.So I send a sample with lower quality and lower price,still not happy.A few round later, he finally agree to buy 4000pieces, in 7RMB.But to be truth, If I am the customer I will not buy that scarf even it is 7Rmb, I can not say it is GOOD quality,but he is the buyer,and he seems satisfied with the quality. So 1 years later, I was be told that the scarf I sold to him,in Europe is 14EU each! 10 times of price.So next time when you guys blame times's poor quality which Made in China, blame the dealer.Cause they are the guys who make the orders.

Stir_fryCook_oo7 college and wow what a weird rant

[@kittycatcuties]

@@mooselove Why is that weird? Some people have this bad image of china in terms of the quality of products they produce when the Chinese are perfectly capable of making quality products, it's because of businesspeople who rather sell low quality overpriced products then good quality products. Imo neither side is really wrong, except for the businesses that exploit sweatshops. I feel like Stif_fryCook_oo7 was trying to explain that with his anecdote.

[@wabch]

@@kittycatcuties "North Europe"?

[@inkerstales2336]

Sadly, A 10 times production price is not unusual. On other I know someone working with Electronics, and cursing over Chinese products don't live up to safefty standards. Only companies with Chinese workers, don't have these issues.

[@kaistockman6443]

Sounds like a lot of ads I see on Instagram. Right away I’m like that’s a product I can buy for $2 on AliExpress and you’re selling it for $19.95. 😜 And it’s not even good quality.

[@brycejohnson7]

Could you make this a series? It would be cool to see how many episodes it would take to cover the majority of the markets.

[@firstnamelastname9955]

Well he said 75,000 stores - so he could probably make an entirely separate channel just for this market and not be able to fully cover it in a year.

[@Audio_Simon]

I would like to see those 50 episodes!

I came here before and the amount of stuffs available are just overwhelming. You really have to know what you are looking for otherwise you'll be lost. I swear my brain hurts after 5 hours looking around here. There are just too much stuffs it's crazy.

[@jnickence]

I'm sitting in my nice little US, MI, home, with my mouth agape, watching this video. I have known for years that EVERYTHING we own comes from China. Perfectly comfortable with the realization. I kind of lost track when the electronics market shifted from Japan to China, but that's a personal observation. Knowing the magnitude of the shift is what has me mindf*cked. It's places like this that I also could explore for weeks endlessly. As of the time of my writing this post, the US and China are embroiled in trade wars. A friend of mine mentioned to me quite a few years back that China heavily relies on the US financially. I pooh-poohed his comment. I debated that China has global markets that they can easily turn to and crush the US. Seeing this, they still could. Granted, the UN would politely slap their hands in a gesture of political correctness. But I'll be damned if I'm not right in my position.

[@wangjoe2248]

Especially during the outbreak, US realized that China has a whole industry supply chain, and China no longer listens to them that much. So US worried that the world ’s second largest economy will threaten them. I think in the days to come, the United States will sanction China even more crazily.

[@nsebast]

USA used to have the design and brands and China was the low-cost producer. A perfect marriage for USA, they get the high margins while China gets the low margins. Now China is competing in the design and their OEM products and become the competitor. This is the reason for the trade war and the China bashing.

[@eliskjartansson2907]

I was there for my previous business in 2016 and I can confirm all you've said. I was there for 10 days and I barely covered what I came there to see. You don't realize the size of the place unless you're there. Imagine your local mall. Now imagine if you stack 100 of them next to each other and make the shops tiny. Now take all of that and make it 5 floors. Now you have what Yiwu really is. I wish you had walked the hardware district. It's really amazing. You can literally go there and create your own tool brand within days. All the big chains like Wallmart, Costco etc have offices in the building. They are there to look for new things.

[@MrThankman360]

For a place _that_ big, with that many people going thru it plus shops stuffed to the brim, that gigantic shopping center looked remarkably clean. Maybe that's just the way it came across in the video, but it looked more orderly and generally kept up than I would have thought it would be.

[@sripathykiran]

stryk187 it’s more like showcases for their products. The actual stuff will be in the warehouses. Like how, in a car showroom they don’t display the entire inventory. So no need to constantly resupply the shelves, and thus looking a lot nicer 🙂

[@ChiiSiAn]

Yes, kinda, they are just there to showcase all the products they can offer and wait for you to choose and order.

[@funnyvideos-funnyoutloud2618]

Guys whatever you see in this kind of marketplaces (bazars), is almost certainly re-sold, which means that it is at least 30-50% over the original price (usually +100%). If you want to buy cheap you need to go to the producing counties/cities.
