2025For countless people living in confusion and anxiety, it has undoubtedly been a year of pain and transformation. The intense clash between the Chinese and American economies, the internal struggle of human thought, the shift of new and old economic drivers, the reshuffling of global regional powers... all indicate that starting from this year,Human civilization is entering a period of "operating system upgrade," during which various disruptive changes will occur globally.

In China, due to the culmination of major infrastructure projects, real estate bubbles, overcapacity, and the industrialization of education and healthcare, combined with unfavorable factors converging simultaneously, the pressure of survival is suffocating. As a result, the individual's intuitive feeling is one of intense turbulence and strong anxiety.

In the manufacturing industry, with the end of the era of the world factory and the outbreak of structural economic contradictions both domestically and internationally, a large number of enterprises with outdated production capacity or market oversupply will be mercilessly eliminated. These are objective realities that cannot be changed by human will. Therefore, I hope everyone strengthens their inner resilience and absolutely avoids making investments beyond their capacity.

Shenzhen Fonda Toys lays off employees

On July 31st, Fenda Toys (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. issued a closure notice, stating that the shareholders' meeting has decided to dissolve the company and establish a liquidation team. This marks the official commencement of bankruptcy liquidation proceedings for the toy company that has been operating for 14 years.

Fengda Toys has been in operation for 14 consecutive years. Given that the traditional OEM model in the toy industry has collapsed,
New-generation toy companies like Pop Mart and ZURU are rising strongly, and Fenda, unable to transform itself, can only close factories—the sooner, the better.

Walida Hardware Factory Closure

On July 31, Dongguan Malata Vacuum Hardware Heat Treatment Co., Ltd. officially ceased operations. Established in 2006, the company admitted in its announcement: "In the face of a declining economic environment and consecutive years of losses, the company attempted to raise funds through loans and bank financing to maintain normal operations. Unfortunately, these efforts were unable to reverse the overall downturn of the enterprise."

Malata Vacuum has been rooted in Dongguan for 19 years. As a company specializing in metal heat treatment backed by Malata Electronics, its former glory speaks for itself. However, as a subsidiary relying on the support of its parent company, it is like a child who never grows up, and naturally finds it difficult to survive in the fierce market competition.

Advanced Semiconductor Factory Closure in Shenzhen

On August 11, 2025, ASMPT, the global leader in semiconductor equipment, announced the closure of its wholly-owned subsidiary, ASM Advanced Semiconductor Equipment (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., located in Bao’an District, Shenzhen. The move will affect approximately 950 employees and is expected to incur a one-time restructuring cost of 360 million yuan, while saving about 115 million yuan in annual operating costs in the future.

It is noteworthy that the company's revenue in 2024 is approximately 485 million yuan and net income is about 20.6 million yuan, while its net assets are as high as 444 million yuan. Such an excellent company choosing to close down can be likened to an old saying: "Other people's children are never yours to raise."

Huizhou Huaxun liquidation upon closure

Huizhou Huaxun Electronics Co., Ltd. issued a notice stating that due to operational difficulties, the company has decided to officially cease operations as of August 31, 2025. The company promises to "legally lay off" employees and has provided a corresponding economic compensation plan.

A factory that has been around for 27 years is already quite old, especially considering it has never had patented technology as a protective moat, nor any background as a Hong Kong-funded enterprise. Huaxun's closure is not due to any other reason; it simply can no longer sustain its operations.
