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 ‘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
