Because cross-ocean bulk shipping costs basically nothing these days, so you build wherever has more competent infrastructure, work culture, and whatever else you need. Having been to Mexico a few times and being in China right now, China's got a huge edge on Mexico in many, many areas.
Also, it's not communist here and hasn't been for a while, but that's another story for another time.
- ck2 15y agoYes but US companies built up that infrastructure by consistently contracting to China over the years instead of Mexico. China could market to Europe, middle-east and Oceania - Mexico could have been China to the US. China is most definitely ruled by the Communist Party - just because there is economic freedom doesn't mean there are other freedoms and we feed that power, just like we feed the oppression in the middle-east when we buy oil from there. We're 100% guilty considering there are other options.
