Understand with five charts: What you need to know about capacity going global in 2026

Faced with the intensification of global trade frictions and the accelerated reconstruction of industrial chains, moving production capacity overseas has become a crucial leap for Chinese enterprises to shift from "product output" to "capability output". The core of this is to relocate domestic production processes overseas by setting up factories or production bases abroad, forming a "China + N" global multi - factory model to avoid trade barriers, get closer to the target market, and build supply chain resilience.

Based on this trend, this "Illustrated Guide to Going Global" will focus on moving production capacity overseas - from strategic motivations, regional layouts, going - global models to core sectors. With just a few pictures and a few minutes, it will help you quickly grasp the core logic of the global implementation of Chinese manufacturing capabilities.
