Labor is like 8% of the price of a car. That's not the difference between 25k and 65k. While China does have an advantage over northern states in labor prices it's not why it's so cheap.

I guess, but if you invested $1 million into 100 companies in 2000 and one of them was Amazon (and other 99 went to zero) your investments combined would have had an annual growth of 24% over the past 25 years.
