## Resource

European firms are doubling down on China, not pulling back—70% are staying or expanding, with only 7% seeking alternatives. Automation is reshaping the equation, slashing reliance on cheap labor while boosting 24/7 production efficiency. Coupled with low energy and raw material costs, China’s manufacturing edge grows stronger, making deep integration essential for global competitiveness. “De-risking” is a myth; economics and tech are locking companies into the Chinese supply chain.
