Why is THAILAND the WORLD LEADER in HDD manufacturing? - VisualPolitik EN

Thailand is the World’s largest Hard Drive manufacturer. In fact, Thailand is a big industrial hub in the region, with a huge automotive industry and a thriving tourism sector. This is surprising given the fact that this country has a very unstable political system, with an average of one coup d’etat every 4 years. Added to this there is there is a very oppressive Royal House where the King is worshipped as a deity.
Despite all of this, Thailand’s economics are surprisingly good: lots of foreign investments, international companies and almost no unemployment. In fact, the perspectives for this country look great. They might be one of the few winners on Donald Trump’s trade war with China.
So how come such an illiberal country can have that robust economy? Is Thailand doing as good as we think or there is something where they can improve? How can they benefic from the trade war? On this video, we will answer to all of these questions.
