The China Trap: When Everything Is Too Cheap to Survive

Описание: What if making everything cheaper didn’t make people richer —
but quietly trapped an entire economy instead?

For decades, China became the world’s factory by doing one thing better than anyone else:
producing at the lowest possible cost.

Cheap goods.
Massive scale.
Relentless efficiency.

And for a long time, it worked.

Millions escaped poverty.
Cities expanded.
Global supply chains reorganized around China.

But today, something feels wrong.

Factories are still producing.
Exports still move.
Yet wages feel stuck, pressure keeps rising, and growth keeps slowing.

This video explains how an economy can succeed so completely at being cheap that it loses the ability to move forward.

Not through collapse —
but through a trap.

In this breakdown, you’ll learn:

How cheap production became China’s core advantage

Why success slowly turned into dependence

How low prices create hidden pressure inside an economy

Why wages stagnate even when output stays high

How power shifts upward while pressure moves downward

Why innovation becomes risky when margins are thin

And how demographics become the final constraint

This is not a story about bad decisions or sudden failure.
It’s a system-level explanation of how efficiency, taken too far, turns into involution — working harder just to stay in place.

If you’re interested in how global supply chains, labor, and power interact beneath the headlines, this video is for you.

Topics covered in this video:

• China’s low-cost growth model
• The economics of cheap production
• Why low prices trap wages
• Global buyers, leverage, and power
• Innovation under thin margins
• Demand slowdowns and systemic pressure
• Demographics and long-term limits
