Sounds like a stupid question right? I know everone just thinks it the labor right? Well you have all seen the horrible press Chinese goods have received over the last few months right. The new did not just focus on cheap labor did it? Most of the news reported about unsafe materials and workmenship. So lets break this down shall we. Why are Chinese goods cheap:
- Cheap Labor (we all know that)
- Little to no safety regulations
- Little to know QA (as we know it anyhow)
- Corruption
- Devalued money (on purpose)
- No worker rights (as we know them)
- Free electricty (from coal fired plants I might add)
- No B&O tax
- No Payroll tax (do you pay slaves?)
- No health insurance
- Little to no regs or guidelines on pollution
- No emmission controls (as we know it)
- Cutting Corners!
- No worker rights
- Extreme Greed
- Copyrights What copyrights!
No I don’t have hard facts to back all this up, but I can read (can’t spell) and I do read the news. You don’t have to be the world’s smartest guy to figure this out. It’s everwhere! Just like their products!
