Wow, talk about generalizations!
China is cheap because it is a government controlled cesspool. Once it becomes more civilized all of their rates and costs will rise as well.
There are plenty of ways to move forward, but our greedy US Corporate Overlords seem to think the only way to compete is to level the playing field, backwards! NO minimum wage, NO workers rights, No child labor laws, NO healthcare, NO penalties for relocating out of the US, NO penalties for hiring foreign workers, NO unions, etc.
If the US worker bees can be beaten down far enough, then the US can have a big cheap labor pool too... just like China!
Look, China's clean coal technology is on the cutting edge!...
