There are many places where labour is cheaper than china. But then you visit one of the electronics markets in shenzen, and see why everything is still there.

There are many places where labour is cheaper than china. But then you visit one of the electronics markets in shenzen, and see why everything is still there. Just look at eg. "strange parts" videos on youtube. Need 64 gig memory chips for iphones? Just visit a physical store and buy a few. Need more? Just ask the guy there, and he'll find someone to sell them to you. Walmart ordered christmas ornaments from your plastic company? Need blinking led modules? There are 5 companies nearby that will sell them to you, and you can get them in days, not months. Something like this doesn't exist anywhere else.
