Is there any relation to Chinese labor malpractices and/or sweatshops?

Because American labor unions drove up wages to the point that American made goods are too expensive. People who want to earn more need to improve their skills and education, not strike.

I don't think the answer is malpractice. There is such a discrepancy in standards of living that the Chinese can work for low wages (from our point of view) and still vastly improve their lives. Because the cost to produce an item is so low, they can sell cheaply...and WalMart can turn the product around and retail it cheaply. China is becoming the manufacturing giant that the U.S. was in the last century. They are also becoming the biggest creditor nation (and the U.S. is now the biggest debtor nation). China holds more of our dollars than we do.

certain, because the yank media have already brainwashed the inhabitants to hate chinese products. autos are products rather swayed with the help of nationalism. the massive 3 made terrible autos for numerous many years and they are nonetheless the massive 3. imagine about that one. The chinese does not make a dent contained in the marketplace for particularly a at the same time as. for this reason China has been shifting to progression more advantageous-cost products for agencies and governments like telecommunications networks and highspeed trains. if so, the U. S. has enacted protectionist measures with the excuse of nationwide safe practices.

Because, companies pay their workers in China only about 50 cents per hour. If they stayed in the US, they would have to pay a lot more for their work force. Also, China has 1.2 billion people, which means they have a much bigger work force than anywhere else in the world. In other words, labor in China is more abundant and cheaper.

my guess. the labor rate's getting higher in the us. the businesspeople want to reduce production and operation expenses. and there are tax advantages for doing business abroad

cheap labor, no environmental rules to comply with, no lawsuits over stupid things, and obscene amounts of ready labor.
