China's economic growth over three decades has relied heavily on exporting manufactured goods to global markets, leveraging low labor costs and massive industrial capacity. However, this model now faces headwinds: aging demographics, rising wages, trade tensions, and slowing domestic consumption raise questions about whether export-driven growth can sustain China's development ambitions. The debate centers on whether China can successfully pivot toward domestic consumption and higher-value industries, or whether structural constraints will limit future growth.
