It amazes me some times how little some stuff must really cost to manufacture. When profits are taken in to account along with shipping and transport costs from China or elsewhere the "retail" price is peanuts.

I think much of the reason is profitability. Why would you go to the trouble of building a facility and employ locals to build or manufacture something that can be imported for a lot less then it would cost to produce locally?

An awful lot of what was manufactured here has been moved offshore to keep prices down, mainly due to our high labour and other associated costs such as electricity, gas and water...as well as Government red tape and charges...

Bulk delivery BB... China's BRI... larger quantities make transport so much cheaper - and I suppose it does help to use slave labour.
