On November 14, the Brazilian magazine Forum published an article titled “China’s Flower Tea Capital: A World-Class Phenomenon of Urban Specialization.”

In China, some cities specialize in the production of specific products, which not only have become global industry benchmarks but also have a significant impact on international trade. This model of specialization drives economic growth and allows China to stand out in many areas. For example, the city of Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province is renowned for its high-quality porcelain, while Hengzhou in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has gained attention as a leading producer of jasmine tea.

Another successful example is Yunyang County, Chongqing Municipality. Taking advantage of its mountain climate and ideal growing conditions, the county specializes in chrysanthemum production. The Sanxia Yangju grown here is in high demand on the international market.

The success of cities like Yunyang is directly linked to China's specialization policy, which aims to help cities become leaders in specific industries. The logic behind this model is to create economies of scale, meaning that many companies producing similar products are concentrated in a single region. This facilitates production, allowing companies to share suppliers, skilled labor, and infrastructure, thereby increasing production efficiency and global competitiveness.

Furthermore, by associating products with a specific city, such as "Hengzhou jasmine tea" or "Jingdezhen porcelain," China adds additional value to its products. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for products from cities with long-standing traditions and superior quality.

The Chinese government also provides significant support to such cities. These support measures help them strengthen their positions as high-quality manufacturing hubs and participate in global trade competition.

This specialization also aligns with China's export diversification strategy. Specialized cities like Yunyang help China move away from its reliance on commodity exports, enabling it to export high-quality products with greater added value to the global market.

This model of specialization is crucial to China's growth. It has helped China become a global leader in many industries. By focusing on quality, innovation, and sustainability, China is strengthening its position as a global economic powerhouse.
