A China da Europa

Encontrei recentemente este texto de 2015, "Why "Made In Portugal" Is The New Wave":
"The reasons are clear: 1. It has nearly the same craftsmanship quality as France or Italy at a lower wage cost, 2. It's driven by small-scale factories that are able to produce smaller orders, which appeals to high-end designers who want shoes produced in limited quantity and 3. it imports raw materials quickly.
.
It's those first two reasons that make Portugal so appealing for brands. They get products with Italian or French-level quality at a fraction of the price. It wasn't always that way thought. Previously, Portugal was seen as the "China of Europe" with lost costs and equally low quality."
Em linha com uma terminologia que uso há alguns anos, para defender o euro da acusação de que foi o culpado da perda de competitividade no início deste século. Por exemplo:
 "nós éramos a China antes da China, éramos a China da CEE)"
