I would add, those material cost rise can neither be passed to consumers.
And the same thing goes for tv, and other electronics. China, in most cases, only make a little money (anywhere bet. 1-2% of the final product price, maybe even lower) for assembling, so China would not be the one who got squeezed because nothing to squeezed at. It is the profit of those component suppliers, from countries like Japan, S.Korea, Europe, Southeast Asia, or in some cases, the US, will be squeezed. |
