chevysoldier Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38151061/ns/business-us_business/SHANGHAI — Factory workers demanding better wages and working conditions are hastening the eventual end of an era of cheap costs that helped make southern coastal China the world's factory floor.A series of strikes over the past two months have been a rude wakeup call for the many foreign companies that depend on China's low costs to compete overseas, from makers of Christmas trees to manufacturers of gadgets like the iPad.Some manufacturers are coming back to the states for cost saving reasons now.

ReconRat Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 China has also started to free up the monetary trade imbalance in currency exchanges. Which means stuff won't be so cheap in China anymore. That will also increase prices of Chinese goods, if purchased with USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
