action, he [Jonathan Anderson, a UBS economist] says")

(a) A Chinaese -language summary of the report:
英媒：中国正失去世界工厂地位. BBC CHinese, Sept 7, 2011

(b) The author's first name indicates he is Indian or of Indian descent.
(c) According to the FT report, China's problems are
(i) wage hikes ("20 per cent every year"),
(ii) "young workers entering the workforce is declining every year," and
(iii) "selective female foetus abortion": "Owner in southern China report
that the ratio of factory workers is now 60:40 male to female, whereas it
used to be predominantly female." (This is a quotation from the print
version. In the online version, the sentence starts with "Factory owners in
southern China.")
(d) The FT report states,
"For Guangdong * * * this migration of low-paying jobs from the province is
precisely what provincial leaders have been pushing for over the past couple
of years. * * * Hang Huahua, the province’s governor, and Wang Yang, the
party secretary of Guangdong, have repeatedly stressed the need for
polluting industries to move out of the province in favour of more
technology-intensive industries. Michael Enright, a professor of business at
the University of Hong Kong, says this may be the first time in history
when a government has actively sought to turn its back on its early
industrial past.
This refers to 汪洋's 腾笼换鸟.
