China-pimping, Last night, I had dinner with a friend of mine, whose company contracts manufacturing to China - Guangdong province. He explained it to me like this : - The Chinese counterpart is a partner in the US business, not a subcontractor. - The chinese partner typically pays the staff the following : - about $0.50 per hour in wages - 4 meals a day - uniforms to wear at work - laundering of all their clothes - transportation to and from work - weekly bus trips to the nearest "big city" for recreation. - a doctors attention (healthcare) whenever needed. You add up all this, aint a bad scenario.
