Asked if the People’s Liberation Army planned any commemoration on June 4,
defence ministry spokesman Wu Qian said on Thursday:
"I do not agree with you for using the word ‘suppression’.
I think these past 30 years, the stable process of China’s reform and development
and the achievements that have been made are an answer to this question.”
China is about 24% of global manufacturing. Their share is also no longer increasing (their manufacturing sector has been net stagnant for years, as they tread water; moving up the ladder in some sectors, while cost-sensitive manufacturing flees to cheaper shores like Vietnam).
The US is around 18% to 19% of global manufacturing (it was 28% as recently as 2002).
China took the global lead in 2010.
Other countries are also still very substantial manufacturing centers. Japan, as of 2016, for example still had a manufacturing output equal to 30% that of China (with an economy ~45% the size of China in that year).
Germany has an economy 1/5 the size of the US, but it does about 1/3 the manufacturing output of the US.
The US + Japan + Germany have a manufacturing output about 25% larger than China.
The US/Japan/Germany may have proportionally more of their output in low-volume but massively expensive products, many of which may have little direct consumer exposure.

There are a couple of situation playing out here in NZ that are pretty bad.
Weak steel that will fail under stress being the main one. When used in earthquake strengthening you can see the issue, and it seems to have caused train derailments here too.
And we got a batch of dodgy locomotives.
Fake milk caused financial problems for a NZ parent company, while in China it was a literal baby killer, with 54,000 hospitalised and 12 killed.
Great products come out of Chiba but it has a long way to go.
