The China Challenge: How Are China’s Challenges Affecting Your Global Manufacturing & Supply Chains?

About The Webinar

The China Challenge: Analyzing Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Mexico as Manufacturing and Supply Chain Alternatives

If you’re manufacturing and/or sourcing in China, you’re probably experiencing:

  • On-Site management and production delays due to China’s COVID travel restrictions.
  • Tariffs and higher shipping costs exporting your components or products out of China.
  • A business environment in China that’s increasingly challenging for U.S. companies.
  • Increased costs of energy, materials and services.
  • China labor rates have increased, on average, 8-10% per annum over the past 10 years.

We’ll present a “China Plus 1” strategy, wherein company leaders seek to diversify their China-based manufacturing & supply chain in order to minimize current profitability challenges. The Webinar compares Southeast Asia, Central Eastern Europe, U.S. and Mexico.

    Relocating or Expanding Operations & Supply Chain From China to Vietnam and Thailand

    About The Webinar

    EWA Roundtable With Two Senior Executives in Vietnam and Thailand

    Companies are increasingly diversifying their Operations and Supply Chain from China to improve future operational stability.

    C-level executives are taking diversification actions because of current economic and geopolitical challenges in China, including COVID lockdowns, China/Taiwan/U.S. tension, US/China tariffs, rising Chinese labor and logistical costs, dependable transport to customer base, and an increasingly bureaucratic regulatory environment in China.

    Why are companies considering Vietnam or Thailand?

    Decision factors include:

    • Continue to serve their customer bases in China and growing Southeast Asia
    • Facilitate the export of products to customers in Europe and the U.S.
    • Take advantage of favorable trade agreements to avoid China/U.S. tariffs
    • Guarantee an available supply of raw material and component products
