Behind the cheap workers is whole industries and ecosystems and know-how, it's not a cheap labor problem. Bangladesh is cheap labor but if you wanted to start building phones there you will not have the ecosystem to support you..
I’m happy for China and Chinese people having a better quality of life. But their economy is based on humans doing things inexpensive. It’s essentially a services business, not a SaaS business. It doesn’t scale well but they have so many poor people to exploit that they can make a thing of it.
