A global economic powerhouse.

The world's manufacturing superpower.

In many of these fields, like green energy and robotics, China has now taken the lead.

China has made itself rich by being able to find markets overseas for its manufactured goods.

This is Shenzhen, China, where all of your electronics are made.

40 years ago, none of these buildings existed.

This city was a fishing village.

And today, Shenzhen is the electronics manufacturing capital of the world.

China did nearly $3 .8 trillion in exports last year and runs the biggest export surplus in history.

China has announced a record trillion dollar trade surplus.

Almost $1 .2 trillion in 2025.

But these headlines aren't telling the whole story.

I've spent the last few years filming across countries and places where almost all the goods come from China.

China now trades 50 % more with the Global South than with the US and Europe combined.

And in these markets, the customers have a problem the headlines rarely mention you use the banks at all making payments across borders

and participating in a global financial system

that wasn't built to serve them these markets are actually at

the center of china's economic story i came to china to

understand how it trades with the rest of the world

and the answer to that question lies in the electronics markets of shenzhen

in the historical trade ports of guangzhou and in the financial center of hong kong I live in New York,

where you just go, you know?

I'm here in Huashangbei, the electronics manufacturing capital of the world, and the thing I hear the most is this.

Cases, chargers, cables, boxed up, made in China on the label, and whisked away to every corner of the earth.

This is where it all begins, and where I, like these products, have to start my journey too.

This bustling market here in Shenzhen is representative of something crucially important for China.

Parts, accessories, cases, electronics, anything you could ever possibly need, it's available here at this wholesale market.

Wow.

Today, China's manufacturing scale is almost impossible to comprehend.

The Chinese economy has developed at an extraordinary rate.

China has quietly become the global powerhouse.

Will China soon become the world's leading economy?

The Chinese government targets 5 % annual growth, but a healthy economy grows by its people buying things.

And Chinese consumption is only 38 % of its GDP versus 70 % in the U .S and 60 % globally.

That gap has to be filled by something.

China has built an economy that produces far more than its own people can consume, which means it's structurally dependent on the rest of the world buying the difference.

Exports make up a fifth of China's economy, but accounted for nearly a third of its GDP growth last year.

And the response to China's export dominance has been a wall of trade barriers going up around China's most valuable markets.

The EU has slapped additional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to protect its own struggling industry.

The trade war has increasingly been a West versus China story.

U .S.

tariffs, EU tariffs.

Donald Trump is raising tariffs against China to 125%.

A lot of people think about trade with China from an overwhelmingly U .S.-centric perspective.

But I think the actual story is with the Global South.

China now sells more to the Global South than to the U .S and Western Europe combined.

For the first time in 2024, countries in the Global South accounted for more than 50 % of China's total foreign trade.

And they now contribute more than half of China's trade surplus with the world.

Other developing countries — Brazil, India, Indonesia, and others — have imposed measures to protect their own growing industries.

But it's hard for them to compete.

So China's exports to the Global South are accelerating, and we can expect it to continue to grow.

And this is particularly interesting because it should work in the opposite direction.

There's an economic theory known as comparative advantage.

As countries get richer and wages rise, they should move up the value chain and shed low -value labor -intensive work to poorer countries.

they make light bags caps and hats shoes chairs all kinds of things.

But China is breaking the pattern.

Wages have risen enormously, yet China holds a third of the global textile market and remains its largest exporter, while simultaneously leading in EVs and electronics.

It's not just moving up the value chain, it's occupying the entire chain at once, from the cheapest goods to the most advanced.

India's textile industry is inventing a decisive growth phase as global sourcing patterns shift away from China.

While China has lost some low -end jobs, it can't let the low end go, even if the theory says it should, because it has hundreds of millions of workers who need those jobs.

President Xi has said it outright, quote, we must never de -industrialize.

So China will continue to compete on the low end while simultaneously competing on the high end.

So back to the global south.

As China's trade with this region continues to grow at both ends of the spectrum, it introduces a new problem.

How to get paid from all of these countries where the financial infrastructure isn't as well connected to the global economy?

I was recently in Lagos, Nigeria, where I visited Computer Village, the largest electronics market in Africa.

And throughout the market, you'll see brands that you might not recognize.

Techno, Techno, Infinix, Infinix, Infinix, Infinix, Infinix, Techno, Techno.

Everything is imported from China.

How does that work?

These are all brands from the phone manufacturer Tranchion, a Chinese company that is the largest maker of cell phones in Africa, but that doesn't sell a single phone inside of China.

It's the Chinese export economy at work.

We take for granted all the things that have to happen for these phones to get to customers.

Exporters need to build the right relationships, negotiations need to happen in different languages, the last mile logistics, and everybody needs to get paid.

None of these things are easy, but nothing can work if payments payments don't work.

So Nigeria buys a lot from China, but they have payments problems because most payments move across the SWIFT network.

With correspondent banks in the middle, it can be expensive, slow, and lead to delayed payments for many countries in the global south.

And that's an issue Chinese exporters are facing as their trade increases with these countries.

I was born and raised in Jiangsu province, where there are a lot of export businesses, bags, shirts.

At that point of time, people never think about collecting money because they always want to sell stuff.

And the major trading partners were still Europe and U .S.

That's Vincent Yang, a co -founder of the Hong Kong -based payments company Obita.

He used to work for Ant Financial and Alibaba.

But his understanding of these payments problems date back to his upbringing.

This has been changed significantly in the past years.

You've seen a lot of Chinese exporters are selling to emerging markets instead, Africa.

Asian countries, and Latin America and now become a problem because the money was stopped

and was caused delay and even was blocked by the bank due to whatever reason, maybe supporting documents, the contracts,

because a lot of business was done by trust or referral.

You know, a lot of factories running kind of like on the clock

and if you can not receive the money untimely means you cannot pay your salary untimely

which means you have to cause a lot of delays not only from a business perspective

but also labor cost perspective so

that will cause a lot of problems how common of a

problem is this for chinese manufacturers it depends on the country i guess

and also depends on the corridor in a lot of countries it's smooth enough

but still in some of the countries there are some existing issues simply because these countries'

trade increased significantly in the past 18 months or so.

However, the whole network of the payments didn't adjust that quickly.

100

So the bet is that new payments infrastructure is going to be really important for China's expanding global trade, but it will need to be managed.

101

Because despite how much China manufactures for export and how important exportation is to the economy, trade with China is actually a distinct and unique challenge.

102

And it always has been.

103

The Chinese city of Guangzhou was once called Canton.

104

This was, for nearly a century, the only place in China where foreign merchants were permitted to trade.

105

It was called the Canton system, and it tells you something important about how China has always understood its relationship with global commerce.

106

Ships anchored here along the banks of the Pearl River and offloaded their cargo into 13 trading houses lining the waterfront.

107

Each flying the flag of a different nation in what was then the wealthiest...

108

Chinese city, and they couldn't trade directly.

109

Everything went through licensed Chinese intermediaries, the Hong merchants, who controlled the flow of goods and the flow of money between China and the outside world.

110

The Canton system ended in 1842, when Britain forced open the ports after the First Opium War.

111

But as China's economy continues to grow in this century, it's back to trading on its own terms.

112

I'm just going to do it like this.

113

Standing here on Xiamian Island now, the quiet streets, the colonial facades, the Pearl River still moving past, it's easy to miss how consequential this place was.

114

But the parallel to today is hard to ignore.

115

China has always been fiercely independent and concerned about foreign influence.

116

But now more than ever, it also has to trade.

117

Today when you trade with China, the money is probably moving through Hong Kong.

118

Hong Kong will thereby be restored to China, and within the framework of One Country, Two Systems, it will continue to have a strong identity of its own

119

and be an important international partner for many countries in the world.

120

I'm here in Hong Kong, one of the financial capitals of the world and the gateway to China.

121

Hong Kong is a hallmark of China's One Country, Two Systems policy, where Hong Kong's rule of law, common law courts, and convertible currency allow it to be China's proxy with the rest of the world,

122

how China can participate in global finance and trade without fully subjecting their own country to the rules of global trade.

123

Capital can move in and out without exposing the mainland to full openness.

124

China is going one step further.

125

Cryptocurrencies are strictly prohibited.

126

And despite the fact that China explicitly bans cryptocurrencies, China's increasing crackdown on crypto.

127

Hong Kong has become a hub for stablecoin adoption for cross -border trade.

128

Hong Kong has recently passed stablecoin legislation, creating a clear licensing framework for the use of stablecoins.

129

Our company was incorporated right after the Genius Bill was passed.

130

I guess we've seen a lot of trades happen among stablecoins, but there are no departments really regulated.

131

For payment business, we have to do it under the place where it's regulated.

132

I just think it's an important thing to talk about is the reason why stablecoins are being used.

133

I think the default assumption often is like, oh, we're seeing this payment coming from Argentina or Nigeria.

134

Like, it must be money laundering or something, right?

135

And it's like, no, people have to use it because they have problems.

136

And if you can build regulation and parameters around their usage, it's going to be meaningful.

137

It's going to facilitate to take global trade.

138

Staplecoins are becoming an increasingly important tool for cross -border payments.

139

Enabling access to dollar -based assets in countries where dollars are scarce.

140

And facilitating near -instant payments across currencies.

141

We help businesses and individuals who do business with Africa spend local currency with the ease of global currencies.

142

How do you do that?

143

Staplecoins.

144

Not surprisingly, they're being used more in cross -border trade with Hong Kong especially as China trades more with the Global South.

145

As Orbita, first of all, we are a B2B cross -border payment company.

146

So by saying that without Stablecoin, it makes sense to do that because the trade is so big.

147

And with Stablecoin, for us, it's an accelerate to make the decision.

148

So for me, it's an easy yes to set up the business.

149

But no one really cares about the fact that they're using Stablecoins.

150

It's just about getting business done.

151

And that's increasingly more important as trade with the Global South continues to grow.

152

The primary focus for the business owner is never about payments.

153

It's all about getting business done.

154

The customer only cares about whether they can receive the money timely and efficiently.

155

And whether this is through Stablecoin or through fiat, I think this is less important to them as long as they make sure that money is safe with a legit partner.

156

Stablecoin is just a form to conduct the trade.

157

As a service provider, we should offer all the options to the clients.

158

and you said before like swift works well in many instances in many instances it doesn't though

159

and that's why we're saying stable point adoption

160

but it sounds like the payment companies

161

that are kind of taking the most pragmatic approach are the ones

162

that are saying like we're using whatever we need to use

163

depending on the corridors depending on the rates absolutely i think

164

again our goal is definitely not replacing anybody we're trying to provide the one -stop solution for the corporates

165

or for our clients where they can receiving or pay money easily uh worldwide that's our goal And the reality is, for a lot of those customers,

166

they're servicing a lot of different use cases in a lot of different markets.

167

You know, you have a lot of different payments providers, it's hyper -fragmented.

168

And the most important thing, do clients really need to know?

169

They just want to receive the money, they just want to sell the glass to Nigeria, for example.

170

A lot of exporters, they are trying to aggressively looking for new markets to sell, but they don't need to necessarily...

171

finding new payment partners in different jurisdictions because that's not their core business.

172

So we are serving as one of the services to provide, to supporting their core business to go abroad.

173

That's our ultimate goal.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
