The 2019 China Forum Annual Conference hosted by China News Agency was held in Beijing today. Wei Jianguo, vice chairman of the China International Economic Exchange Center, said that when talking about the reorganization of global production factors, only China can provide a large consumer market and a complete supply chain.
He gave an example: “If Apple wants to set up its factory in the world’s largest consumer market and the perfect production chain, only China meets these conditions. Only China satisfies the company’s needs with its 3 vital factors: 1 billion population + consumer market + complete production chain.”

Wei Jianguo said, “Why did Cook say he was unwilling to accept Trump’s request to move back? If he moved back, he couldn’t even make the screws. A smartphone has more than 100,000 parts. You can’t do it without a production chain.” Wei Jianguo said that the global reorganization of technology, human resources, resources, and market factors made it necessary for cross-companies to set up factories near the market. They have to find research and development in the nearest place. Only this way they can observe the market demand at any time.
