Part of it is that there are less stringent guidelines on how the waste products generated by manufacture (in China) are to be disposed of as well as I understand it. You hear often enough of health crisis' over there because the bi-products of circuit board manufacture aren't disposed of properly and get into the local water table etc. not to mention people in other parts of the world do work at a lower wage than here in the U.S. I used to work cleaning up at a plant called Advance Transformer here where I live and they moved their plant down to Mexico because it is cheaper to manufacture down there than it is here. They were already talking about moving before I got sick (type 1 diabetes) and sometime after I was unable to work they finally moved.
