Abstract

When I was growing up in the 1960s, the toys we played with were “Made in Japan.” As I got a little older, those toys “Made in Japan” had become interesting electronics while the cheaper goods were “Made in Taiwan.” Within 20 years, those lesser-priced items were, and continue to be, “Made in China.” Over the latter part of the twentieth century, China has become the world’s center of cost-effective manufacturing. Billions of dollars of foreign direct investment has poured into China, creating an enormous low-cost manufacturing environment. But the dawn of the twenty-first century has also brought significant changes to how and why companies have entered China.
