27.2% of Total Exports
“Made in China.” Those three words have been as pervasive as any, and more pervasive than most with particular respect to the manufacturing industry. The list of consumer goods, intermediate products and even raw materials that have come from and continue to be exported out of China is longer than this list allows for us to catalog. From toys to clothing, and electronics to home goods, if your mind can conceive of it, China has produced and exported it. In this vein, major industry players such as Yantai Huaguan Packaging Co. Ltd., Shenzhen Well Mold & Plastic Products Co. Ltd., China Raina Industry Co., Ltd., and Foshan Rifeng Enterprise Co. Ltd. have all acted as major contributors–through different means–to the massive plastics production industry for which China has become renowned, and by which China has been able to repeatedly claim the top spot among countries that export the most plastic in the world.
