Seg Electronics Market

This guide to SEG Electronics Market in Shenzhen opens on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon in May 2021, when the floor of this decades-old tower began to shake, sending thousands of shoppers and vendors scrambling for the exits. It traces what investigators found in the two months of engineering tests that followed, and steps back to the market's founding in 1988 as China's first dedicated electronics exchange, built on the site of a former arms factory. Look closely at the stalls, each roughly a meter wide, packed with circuit boards and components.
