"Buy low, sell high" has been a staple of the economy since ancient times.

Although it's hard to argue, really, that workers in China are not being paid a "fair" wage when compared to other wages in their economy and how far their wages go. And if you go outside of China, manufacturing wages in other Asian countries - such as Taiwan - are basically the same as first world wages.
