I also worked in China and saw many instances. Although I worked on the construction of modules of LNG plants bound for Australia and Russia, they were also manufacturing many wind turbines for shipment back to Europe.

What we in Britain are not doing is manufacturing anything and that is down to the decisions of one darling of the right many years back, Thatcher.

When France decided to stop Coal Fired Power and go wholly Nuclear, they retrained the workforce to work there. What did Thatcher do? She decimated the industry and put them all out of work and dump them. That is the difference between Europe and the UK, empathetic governments.
