Speed Over Cost (China's Real Power)

Here's the number one reason China still wins. And it has nothing to do with cheap labor. Let's talk speed. In China, you can go from idea to prototype in a week, tooling in two to three weeks, and mass production in 30 days. The entire supply chain is local. The fabric meal is 20 minutes away, the packaging supplier is down the street, and the port is two hours away. Other countries raw materials are imported, components are imported, tooling imported, and factories overloaded. Lead times is three to six months. China doesn't just manufacture. China executes at scale and speed. So if you want faster launches and more innovation, China still gives you a competitive edge. But speed alone isn't enough because tariffs are attacking your margins. Tomorrow, I'll show you the real cost of staying in China and how to protect yourself.
