> Bill of material cost is going to be pretty much the same everywhere. A decade or so ago, my dad analyzed a part that came from his Chinese competitor. The finished Chinese part, including shipping, cost less than my dad’s company was paying for the raw materials. He was still able to compete by producing a much higher quality product (found in nuclear power plants, chemical processing plants, oil rigs, and other places where quality really matters). Anyway, my point is, I wouldn’t assume China is only cheaper due to labor.
