In recent times, as China joined the WTO, some foreign commentators believed that the entry into the WTO would serve as an opportunity for China's industrial export scale to continue expanding, with the export product structure constantly upgrading, and China would become the world's factory. What is the world's factory? Can China become the world's factory? This book attempts to explore this question. The book includes articles from business professionals, academics, and government officials from various perspectives, levels, and fields of study on this issue. Due to differing standpoints, starting points, methods, and backgrounds, the views, tendencies, and conclusions of the articles vary greatly. To enable readers to gain a broader perspective on the various viewpoints on this complex issue, we have made every effort to collect articles representing a wide range of opinions. On the principle of maintaining the original intent of the articles, we have made minor revisions to some of them and made necessary technical edits and textual revisions to a few articles, believing that readers can independently discern the perspectives presented in the articles.
