Working in a factory

China’s vast supply of cheap labour and strength of foreign investment has meant the country has become known as the β€˜workshop of the world’.

Clothing manufacture is one of the nation’s biggest earners and China has come a long way since Chairman Mao’s blue tunic suit, producing high quality items for markets across the world
