“The cliched image of Chinese competition was one of cheap copies. I think the wake-up call for us when we were on this trip is that this is no longer the case.”
I find it hard to believe that Swedes are this delusional in the information age

RACIST/SUPREMACIST disease tends to make people delusional“The cliched image of Chinese competition was one of cheap copies. I think the wake-up call for us when we were on this trip is that this is no longer the case.”

Swedes are on another level of delusion that even other westerners cannot stand them. Is that why they hate China so much? Because of the more deluded they are?“The cliched image of Chinese competition was one of cheap copies. I think the wake-up call for us when we were on this trip is that this is no longer the case.”

For non-obsessed, average intel people around the globe, I think the image of "cheap dolls, copies and whatnot" actually ended finally around 2013-14. After that followed "but they just produce blatant copies of high tech that we came up with". Nowadays it's more like "at last they finally came up with an original product and it might be cheaper but at least ours look better"“The cliched image of Chinese competition was one of cheap copies. I think the wake-up call for us when we were on this trip is that this is no longer the case.”

I think the author or the Swedes might be a bit behind the times.
You might underestimate how stupid people are. Even in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, the image of China is still a producer of cheap fake products and their "made in Vietnam/Thailand/etc" stuff are better without any reasons, not to mention "made in West/Japan/Korean" products are worshiped like Gods.

Don't look now, but the link above has disappeared from its , though it still works directly...
China's consumption, a key barometer of economic activity, exceeded 2.33 trillion kWh in the first quarter of 2024, up 9.8% YoY, the National Energy Administration said Wednesday.
In March alone, the country's power use expanded 7.4% YoY to 794.2 billion kWh.
such a massive growth in electricity consumptions in years.. China could touch magical 10 trillion kwh electricity output in 2024 year.. mind boggling

A further breakdown in terms of exports and imports would be even more helpful. Due to US-China tech war, supply chains are getting reshuffled, and I have seen South Korea and Taiwan started exporting much more to the US. I don't think the import side would have changed much for them.
