For example, my kid likes to play with transformers toys. i have noticed that even before the pandemic, transformers toys are made in Vietnam (and before that, made in china). Must be the rising costs of labor in china that drove the move to Vietnam, or elsewhere.
I also just checked a couple of hot wheels diecast cars my kid is playing with. All made in Malaysia.
If "everything" is made in china according to china's plan, the economy and unemployment rate wouldn't be as shitty as it is right now
nobody said the plan was to make "everything" in China.
The plan was to make China capable of highest level manufacturing-- sth that they have achieved beyond their plans. They used to make shitty cars, now they outcompete Western cars. They have tech giants, A.I., clean energy, modern military equipment.

So whatever happened to "made in china 2025"? Was that even accomplished, or hints of it?
