One way the productivity in China was so high was the pay for piecework.

In the US, the primary method of pay was hourly.

In China (and Asia in general) it was piecework, which led itself to higher levels of productivity and lower costs.

You were paid in Asia according to how much product you produced. That was an incentive to work hard and fast.
