China's Rust Belt: An Industrial Past And The Challenges Ahead | CNA Correspondent | Dongbei
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- China's northeast was once hailed by Mao Zedong as the country's eldest son, as it's where industrialisation first began in the country in the 1950s. But today, it's become the country's rust belt. From a rapidly ageing population to a shrinking work force due to falling birth rates, the region can be seen as a microcosm of the challenges facing China. CNA Correspondent finds out what's the road ahead for this once-booming region, as the Communist Party of China gears up to mark its 100th anniversary in July.

On the 3rd of July he turned 50 years old with 7 years traped in an Embassy and months in a British prison.
Is he US citizen? Look like French name. Yes I support his freedom

Though I appreciate the more objective attempt of reporting, by simply accurately relay what the locals think. However, there can be more improvements done, for example interviewing Chinese experts on Why the North East is a so called "Rust belt"
The more convincing explanation is that, the North East's economy relied on Heavy Industries, like making Steel, manufacturing machinery. Before the reform and opening up, China's economic supply chain is totally independent, which means international competition from German or Japanese heavy industries is insulated.
But once the reform and opening up process begun, China's economy is supplanted onto the wider global economy. China's state of development in the 1990s meant it is only competitive in light industries. Heavy industry at the time didn't have much competitive advantage compared to Germany and Japan.
This competition caused the decline of industries. Though in saying that, The North East has several very important key industries, a sizable percentage of Chinese military aircrafts are designed and produced in the region, along side advanced jet engine design and production, Ship building industry of the region makes up a sizable chunk of China's huge ship building industry as well.
The region needs time to recover from the impact of foreign competition, as China continues to move up the economic value chain, more and more advanced machinery will be in high demand, and the old industrial base sprit will sure contribute to the rebirth of the North East, in fact some are already happening, Siasun is one of the largest robotic companies in China is founded and based in the North East, and is providing industrial robots to many industries in China and around the world.
The thing is that China isn't exactly expanding its heavy industry. At least for now, the Chinese economy seems to head more towards software, light industry, and service industry. So I doubt that if the northeast can get a rebirth from heavy industry alone
@@kevintang5473 What are you talking about? Heavy industry is extremely important for China.
As China is starting to dominate the EV market, there will be much more demand for heavy industry products.
China is also the largest and most advanced ship building nation, and is creating an indigenous commercial aerospace industry, as well as China's need for industrial robots.
These industries all requires machine tools and other machinery to keep it going too.
These are all part of the heavy industry, and China has one of the most comprehensive heavy industry market in the world.
obsidianstatue - just wanted to thank you for those thoughtful comments.
They prob need a plan to transform into other industries. Heavily rely on one is the ultimate cause of the decline, just like West VA relies too much on coal mining.
The humour and optimism among people of northeast China are precious. Thank you for the great interviews - look forward to seeing more!
It looks really very different from the China I have seen on BBC, CNN or Fox. Then I realised that CNA never cover the video with griming grey filter and scary music background.
it’s called BBC filter in China
BBC should learn from CNA about how to make a proper and objective report
This is a really important document. Not only because it shows a great contrast of the China most know, like Shanghai and Shenzhen, but especially because it shows how freely Chinese people are to talk about local government issues, mismanagements.
BTW, I lived two years in Harbin, a big beautiful metropolis! Now, I’m living in Hohhot! ✌️🇨🇳
Ah yes china is well known for allowing citizens to criticize them 😂

Thumbs up for CNA and capable reporter, very fair, serious research reporting
China: We have aging population problem.
Singapore: First time? **hugs**
Korea and Japan joined the chat.
Anyway I'm curious about why does SIngapore have aging problems too? Because in my understanding it's mainly caused by hosing problems and education cost in big cities. But Singapore seems not to have these issues? At least not as serious as in China. Also, Singapore is small and rich, so it can attract many young people to immigrate to Singapore from all Asian countries. China can't do the same.
@@huyifan83 so this is telling you as you get richer and educated, especially according equal opportunities for woman, there is less propensity to have more babies. Even without one child policy, China’s population will still inevitably decline as her economy develops. This phenomenon is consistent with other developed economies.
Any first world countries are experiencing this except the US, since the US has immigrants to cover for their demographic issues.
@@jzesu9889 Hispanic will soon overwhelm Caucasian in US, that's why Trumpster Republican so worry about.
The Northeast is the seat of Manchukuo. During the 15 years of Japanese colonization, the Northeast has become the most developed region in Northeast Asia. However, after China's reform and development, the Northeast has inevitably fallen behind. Many people blame this status quo on Political corruption, and a few people even miss the Manchukuo period.
been to shenyang many times, my grandma used to work at the tv station back in the 70s, shes 88 now and has arthritus, my auntie takes care of her full time. one of the many pressures of being chinese.
The aging of the population is indeed a problem that China is facing. It is not only a problem in China, but many Western countries are already aging societies. However, Chinese culture pays special attention to family and filial piety culture, so supporting the elderly has become a concern for people. Unlike Western culture, many elderly people live and live separately from their children. However, China has put forward many plans for the aging population, which I believe can effectively deal with this problem.
Not sure who die first: China dies with aging issue; or the West dies because of internal racial conflicts between Muslims, Africans and Far Right (don't forget Indian immigrants).
At least they don't seem to be homeless like here in California.
@@oceanwave4502 No one has to die. An aging society will require a new method of resource distribution. With technology being what it is and will be, labor shortage will not be an issue, but increased profits from lower labor costs realized by firms will have to be redirected into pensions to relieve the pressure of providing for the elderly from the working generations. Governments are going to have to increase their part in supporting retirees and their going to have to do that through corporate taxation. What can get in the way is corporate flight to more liberal countries that care more about attracting business than they do about providing for people.
As for the racial conflicts being stoked up by white nationalists and their enablers in the west, while they are horrendous and unconscionable, they're not really that much of a threat to our existence, merely a stain on our humanity.
which country doesn't has rust belt?
Maybe Monaco, vatican, san marino?
Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too.

This is an objective report, depicts the real problem for northeast right now.
Thanks for the reporting. it could be better to interview local officials who may provide the difficulties in more details. Maybe they don’t want to speak to international media. Olivia is pretty btw.
alot of people want to live a good lifestyle but the way they spend,can't see them get that lifestyle they have desired soon. Besides the rich invest more and spend less, talk more of the poor!
We should be careful about money usage, if you're not spending to recover, Then stop spending..

@@flyingpig3297 the natural way is “two-thousand-five”
@@TheLilleyPad You will definitely hear twenty-o five more often in everyday life. On formal occasions, I think two-thousand-and-five may be more heard.
@@flyingpig3297 really? Where are you from?
@@flyingpig3297 growing up in Canada and even speaking with non native speakers abroad I have only heard people say “two-thousand-five” or “two-thousand and five”
A very objective report.
CNA Reporting is Awesome Follow as Much as i Can
Is it true that the Chinese government is moving many factories from coastal regions to poorer inland areas? To develop these regions?
还不错，这种节目可以多做一些。
Which country does not has a so called 'Rust belt' ? Key point is govt is aware of any prob and solution for it. 🤣
you are right. use and Chinese rust belt are also no way out. maybe it is a hard question for every country
真实客观的报道👏
Helo Zhang Xiao Guang, ni hao,!
My home, thanks for reporting!
I can't even begin to imagine how stressful it must be to be the only care and financial provider of not only to your growing family but also two parents plus medical expenses. 😭 Such a damaging policy.
The aging population trend is not endemic to China. Even in US, due to an aging population (Boomers), there are claims that social security will be depleted by 2035. In any case, seems like we are at pivotal point in society to challenge the concept of retirement.A lot of the individuals interviewed on this show seem sound of body and mind and still vigorous - why have an artificial age limit for retirement? As long as you are capable of working and want to do so - what is the point of retirement? Seems totally boring to sit around the house all day. Also - work comes in so many forms now and people have multiple careers over a lifetime - it doesn't have to be a 9-5 office job. There are so many ways to be a productive member of society. Hey given the control the Chinese government has over its people, they could more easily than other countries institute workforce reforms to better optimize their manpower resource.
Wrong. US population are filled by foreign migrations. No one really want to migrate to china.
Very objective
What happened in NE CHINA rust belt is very similar to the US rustbelt and the disappearing small towns of America. In 1900, % of rural population numbered 60% but now only 18% are rural Americans. As a result most small town America is either dying or gone. As for the US rust belt, whole communities in the North West hollowed out when manufacturing moved outside of the US. What is left are abandoned factories and buildings and mass unemployment. US now has 82% urban dwellers but in the midst of it, 65% lived paycheck to paycheck, 14% lived under poverty and around 600,000 American are homeless with "tent city" dotting the urban landscape.
Let's hope China learns from the US and be able to revive China's NE region in parity with other bustling areas of China.
Chinese people should be very proud of their achievements 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
When some cities have population growth, there are also many facing population shrinkage. Big problems for many cities with less opportunities.
Bravo from indonesia❤❤
Youngsters of Heilongjiang move to Yunnan province , 1,65 Millions people, warmer almost all year .
Many counties also face this problem.
China can open working visas just like how gulf nations does.
People from India, bangladesh, Nepal, pakistan, philippines, will come to work if they are paid nicely.
biggest joke I've heard ,So naive.
China is already populated and it has large number of workers why would they give working visa
@@HunterZOro660 There are more than 7 millions food dilivery riders in China. If drones can put into food dilivery task . Then China can have 7 millions more working population. To liberate people from hard labour is a cause for humanrights.
Seen through the eyes of a Singaporean where the population is minuscule and so is the size. Any country as vast ad China is bound to have problems. Is the US free from problems. Does it not have rust belts of its own.?
While this report focus on and in search of issues and problems associated with its post heavy industrial past, it is not balanced out by the focus of the government to urbanise its rural populations in the decades ahead. Not only that but at the same time to modernise its industries into the digital age.
good report~
Actually the best fight jets, high speed railways, 50% of the ships, and 25% vehicles are made from this "China's Rust Belt"... BMW and Saudi Aramco also invest good money there. lol.
And that area also produces more than 11% food production to feed the large population in China.
All I can see it's a bright belt.
low quality programme, so few people you interviewed
Is there a need to pronounce all of the Chinese name with tones?
Well if so, get all of them right, specifically Beijing. @olivia siong
hey at least she's trying to do a proper pronunciation. Some media don't even bother

Good video

Xinjapoor forgot their two child policy.
China's system of governance is already challenging the western ones today. You do not need to wait for the next 100 years to witness if it will. So long as China is well led, as it presently is, there is no reason for it not to continue to progress, perhaps not at the speed and rate that were experienced over the past 2 to 3 decades. China and the Chinese people has much to look forward to into the foreseeable future.
This video documentary has a slight bias like other Western Media. Weaknesses seem to be emphasized without exploring possible ways to improve on them.
Looks good for a 76 yr old.
