Made in China (by robots): A global perspective on the hottest story in automation | ZDNet

With the Made in China 2025 plan, Xi Jinping's government literally came up with a roadmap for dominating the global robotics industry.

But is the hype warranted? Have recent trade tensions with the U.S. affected China's automation push?

...

Despite China's reliance on a ready labor force and investments in high-end technologies, its developments in these areas are actually lagging compared to other countries. As of now, most of China's high-end technology products remain out of the global export market due to inferior quality and weak distribution channels.

Chinese companies such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Hollysys and SAIC serve only the local market and have low impact on the global export market. It's for this reason that China is racing to innovate in automation.

...

China's disadvantages in automation development include product inferiority compared to those of other nations. China's robotics and automation products are not advanced enough to be exported to the broader global market. With that said, we see this changing due to China's steadfast commitment to innovation.

...

We believe the future of automation will feature contributions from around the world. Whether that includes East Asia or not depends on the region's ability to improve product quality and expand distribution channels internationally.

African brehs this push toward automation by China for Chinese products will have a good chance of low-skill Chinese workers flooding the Continent, especially given that many (some argue too many) low-skill workers are already in Africa.

Any of you concerned? Or just believe this is how business is done and it's not anyone's fault?

Personally, I'd be concerned.

Foe.

Nothing is done for free on an international basis and China will want a form of payback.

Some African countries may be able to agree to better deals though.

Expect violent anti Chinese riots with hundreds killed if that were to happen.

My country is full of them and it is painful to watch that smh. Initially, the average citizen was celebrating the deals with China. But now, even though it's too late, people want them out as soon as possible.

Angola is full of new infrastructure, but everything is low quality and cheap.

Chinese find dogs in the streets, kill and eat them damn.

The politicians from my country deserve to be shot in the mouth. They basically use poor chinese constructions, to justify the millions they steal everyday.

The constructions for our new international airport began in 2004 and they just said that it is only going to finish in 2022. Close to 10 billion $ have been "used" already!!!!!!!

The influx of chinese in Africa, will be a disaster in a long term perspective.
