We don't really source much except cheap labor from China. On the surface it seems like the Chinese make the bulk of the profit off something like an iPhone but really they make very little. In fact China knows this, which is why they've been tariffing iPhones even if they are "exported" from China back to China.

Why do they smuggle them across HK then? Why is the iPhone sales price in China higher? On Apple's website currently the Chinese iPhone Xs is about $200 USD more expensive. Is this just tax inclusive?
