smartphone manufacture requires a significant, specific, miniaturized, electronic-industrial ecosystem AND a large number of trained industrial, electronic and other engineers, not just cheap labor. (Africa has cheap labor but where are its smartphone manufacturers?)
China has a city like Shenzen with thousands of electronics makers. China has lots and lots of engineers of various kinds. China has pro-industrial development governmental policies, labor rules and environmental rules.
We cannot simply look to labor pay rates. It's a much larger system.
