Its a good thing no other company has its electronics manufactured in china.... wait.. oh.. awkward
The simple truth is.. people in the west want luxury goods for absurdly low prices. Those prices mean someone has to be exploited to produce said good.
OK now that isn't quite the correct focus here... We are not to blame because we demand "Absurdly Low Prices".. We have become ACCUSTOMED to a particular price point that has been created by companies trying to sell their wares and obtain a decent profit on them. They are entitled to earning a profit, and the cutthroat business practices they employ cause a snowball effect that just keeps the prices at a very low point so we the public will buy. NOBODY is going to pay twice as much for an item. As long as there are people willing to work in what we consider poor conditions, there will be a company that will utilize them to further cut costs and sell their item to the public and make a better profit.
In a perfect world, these factories would not be run in this manner, all companies would play fair, and the costs for a particular item would balance out at an appropriate price point. It would definitely be a higher price point and sales would also be fewer, but it would balance itself out.
Unfortunately this isn't going to happen and companies are forced to do business in a world where it is becoming increasingly difficult to make a profit without going overseas...
