(The Guardian China)

After an economic slump lasting years, Dongguan - the home of `Made in China´ - is reinventing itself as a robotics baseThis month Dongguan, in the heart of the Pearl River Delta economic zone of south China, is transformed from a city of migrants into a city of ghosts.The Chinese New Year holiday marks the start of the biggest annual human migration on the planet. During the Spring Festival travel rush - or Chunyun in Mandarin - which runs from 1 February to 12 March 2018, it´s estimated that Chinese returning to their home towns for family reunions will make 2.98 billion trips. According to China´s National Development and Reform Commission, in total, 2.48 billion road trips, 390 million rail trips, 65 million air trips and 46 million boat trips are expected to be made over the 40-day period. Nowhere is this large-scale migration likely to be more evident than in Dongguan, an industrial city in central Guangdong province.
