As global economies adopt the China+1 strategy to diversify supply chains, China is expanding its manufacturing base into Southeast Asia, driving new investment opportunities.
China’s economic growth, while remarkable, is prompting global supply chain diversification via the "China+1" strategy. Countries like India, Vietnam, and Malaysia have seen increased investment from both foreign firms and Chinese companies, which are shifting operations to these regions. Despite these shifts, China remains a key player, especially as a supplier of intermediate goods.
However, concerns about China undergoing "Japanification" linger, with similarities in economic slowdowns, real estate bubbles, and a trade conflict with the US. To avoid Japan’s mistakes, China has been using monetary policy rather than excessive fiscal measures to stimulate its economy.
Chinese companies are driving cross-border investments into Southeast Asia, especially in sectors like solar energy, electric vehicles, and electronics. As China becomes a significant overseas investor, its global economic presence is transforming, while still grappling with domestic economic challenges.
