Zips and buttons

More on China. Qiaotou is the world capital for the manufacture of zips and buttons. 2 million zips a day. And I've never heard of it.

How do you become that specialised?

How can western clothing factories compete? They can't, I suppose.

What was the previous zip capital of the world?

Implications for the Scottish economy?
