With many people in China willing to work for $5.00 per day or less you can imagine the benefits to a company, which has a product that can be built over seas. The increase in profits is astronomical, as you have basically eliminated your most expensive costs; labor.

Sure there are issues with time delays due to shipping and you need to get the materials too them as well, but as the economies of scale go up or the number of units to be produced the cost drops like a boulder onto a two-lane mountain highway. These efficiencies are what business is all about.

It is predicted of course as China comes up in the world so will the cost of living, standard of living and therefore the wages too and eventually an industrial revolution will ensue; similar to the Industrial Revolution, which occurred in United States history.

Outsourcing to China makes sense from a business decision standpoint and although there is much controversy over this issue brewing in the US political scene. If you are a growing manufacturing company it makes sense to take a good hard look at outsourcing to China, so, consider all this in 2006.
