Its simple, Companies in the USA and many European companies have stuff manufactured in China to maximize their profits. Here's an real stupid example. I buy hundreds of pounds of COD for my restaurants in San Diego. its expensive but its caught in Alaska gutted and packed on board and back to me within 15 hours of catching.

Most fish is caught and frozen sent to China defrosted gutted and re frozen then shipped to the USA weeks later. I have to charge 30% more for my Fish and Chips, but its fresher, caught and prepared by Americans and in front of my customers within 15 hours of it swimming in the ocean.

Few people understand or care why my British style Fish and Chips are more expensive because it tastes better and it's a huge piece of fish, 16oz or more.

Are you as Americans willing to pay 25-50% more for almost everything you buy, I doubt it ?

PS
Any webmasters in Mission Beach can drop by Cafe Joie and get an amazing Bail Out BurgerŪ 100% Angus Beef for just $3.99 including fries.
