In what reality does China even get close to making a quarter of the world's products let alone "most"?
Edit: the source below talks about pre-COVID numbers and manufacturing has absolutely moved out of China since then.
If you want to be specific, they make 28.7% (2019) of the world's manufacturing output. So yes, more than a quarter.
That has changed since COVID. They are under a quarter as manufacturing has been moved away from China.
Didn't China's manufacturing output increase by 25% in dollar terms since 2019?
Would dollar terms be relevant metric since the costs went up post COVID? It's total goods manufactured and that dipped.
