Try to apply the UAWs wage scale in China with their benefits package and the requirements to have their factory comply with OSHA, ADA, EPA, Oxley-Sarbanesand a host of other requirements WE as a populace of the US of America have enacted over the last 20 years and see if anyone but the factory owners can afford one. Next time you are over there check to see if the elevators in their building have the annual inspection certificate required in the US. Also, if you check closely you will see that the Buick Regal is a rebadged Opel Insignia. It is assembled in China but it is a significantly different car than the one assembled in Canada and IMPORTED into the US.

Let's pull apart any US built piece of electronic equipment and see if the word China is inside. Anyway you shave it your $$$ is going to someone outside the US. Cheap labor and lack of stupid regulations are the drivers. Our minimum wage of $7.65/hr is as much as many in asia make i a whole day.
