I am not sure that a 50% mark-up for something assembled in the USA is accurate. This price differential doesn't show up in the price of automobiles made in China (for example the Buick Regal is made for the Chinese market by GM Shanghai). I won't say that this is a fully accurate analysis, but based upon what I could find in Google and doing a currency conversion, the prices are very comparable to what the same US model costs. I have seen arguments that the portion of the price of Apple iPhone that is the result of the manufacturing process is almost a nit, implying that the product could be assembled almost anywhere with very little impact on its price or margin.
