The Bottom Line - Made in China: How To Get A Product Manufactured In The Far East
Download Made in China: How To Get A Product Manufactured In The Far East
President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports have shaken up the global economic order, but why have so many brands turned to China to make their products in the first place, and how exactly do they do it?
Evan Davis talks to three company bosses to find out what it’s really like doing business in the Far East and whether it's still as cheap and easy as it used to be. And if high tariffs persist, or get higher, where else in the world could do China's job?
Evan is joined by:
Nick Grey, founder and CEO, Gtech;
Kate Sbuttoni, founder, The Ginger Jar Lamp Co.;
Jonathan Duck, CEO, Amtico International
