Dont forget health and safety legislation and worker rights as it plays a big part in the decision as well, ie liabilities. I reckon there are some cases going to start cropping up from our manufacturing days, metals-solder-cancer etc but they will be well defended to the point most claimants die before they see a payout. The companies are guilty of slave labour now. Workers in China etc literally die trying to make in a year what I might spend on a good holiday or music festival, for instance New years eve will cost me easily £200 for one night out and thats only cos im skint. A taxi home for approx 1 hour journey would cost about £70 plus drinks at £3.50/4.50 + cigarettes at £7.30 a pack, i mean **** sake some of us smoke more than they earn in a day before even thinking about other things like weed etc that some people smoke.

The free market is one thing but I think we shouldnt be doing business with countries that have such harsh worker conditions and low pay, if the west needs to save harder for its "home made" luxuries is that really a bad thing? Were in such a sad state where parents have to buy their kids smartphones, laptops etc just so they dont stick out and get bullied. Could the prison population for instance not just get paid chinese wages to make stuff rather the 30p a day to mop the floor?

How much would an Ipad 2 cost if made in the Uk or US? I read recently a Chinese girl sold a kidney to be able to buy one. They cost are way to high even is sold for pennys, it needs to end

Well, this is the reason why companies get their work done in china. I knows its wrong, but these companies only care about making money, and spending as little as they can doing it.

Thats what people in this thread dont understand. They say " we should not buy stuff from china" but they dont realise that this will hurt america as much as china because the american companies who get stuff made in china will fall.

They say " bring the work back to america" can you see americans working for crap money like they do in china? Again, alot of the companies will fall if they done this.

That guess would be right I bet, but it is still a guess. My point is that it is not right to accuse a government of doing something that it might not be doing. It is like saying Saddam has a weapon of mass destruction he is about to use.
