Microwaves For The World

摘要

Whirlpool's appliance factory in Shunde makes 2 million microwaves per year for various Asian markets and export to North America and Europe. From Hong Kong the factory is 1.5 hours by hydrofoil to Nansha Port, a brief wait to pass through immigration and customs, and another straight one-hour drive up a four-lane highway. Arriving at the port's traditional, squat tile-roofed building, the ferry passes by the soaring metallic lines of a new terminal under construction. People begin lining up at the exit doors of the ferry more than 30 minutes before it reaches the dock.
