You'd be surprised at how good the small hands in Shenzhen are at recovering all the tedious chips while being paid pennies. Generally, if we could do what Shenzhen could do in the West, we could. But we cannot compete, as they have various advantages (physical, economical).

I'm not sure if I would count a lack of human rights, de facto labor slavery, etc as an advantage. Grinding people's lives into dust can give them an economic advantage, but it's not the kind of world we want to live in.

  We agree on that, I was not trying to market communism as better. The point is that countries such as China get away with this behavior. For human rights and happiness it is a disadvantage, for the powers that be in China, an advantage.
