“A recent column by Josh Green, CEO of the sourcing intelligence service, Panjiva, offered some frank analysis of the situation: ‘In attempting to identify China’s successor, it’s worth revisiting the ingredients to China’s success: pro-trade government policy, solid infrastructure, and a huge, underemployed labor pool,’ says Green. ‘There is no ‘Next China,’ because there is no country in the world that has these three key ingredients.’”

For example, searching for ‘wool sweaters‘ returns a list of over 24,000 different contract manufacturers with no great way to rank them.”
