If you are a large multinational you can have those considerations, but as a startup you have to take the ecosystem as it currently is, which means most of the manufacturing know-how is currently based in China. There are simply lots of processes which can only be bought for prototype quantities in most western countries. If you try to scale those it's just outside of your budget to do anything but go to China with it.

Clearly there must be a line where morality becomes more important than money, where exactly should that line be and how should it be different for small companies and big ones? New ones and old ones? Or are morals just important when they no longer compete with dollars?
