Your iphone doesn't *have* to be made in china, it's simply cheaper for apple to manufacture them there because of the hellishly ruthless government calling the shots with regard to labor practices. Apple could easily manufacture iphones in the united states, they would just cost you a bit more and they would make a bit less. The upside? Human beings who are for most out of sight and out of mind are not subjected to horrifyingly awful and unrelenting working conditions. This is why american capitalism is *good*, not bad, and frankly why trump's approach to chinese trade interests makes sense. The mcdonalds employee in america enjoys a higher quality of life and a higher net income than the apple employee of china.

It's capitalism minus Christianity. Jim Rogers prepared his family to move to China back around the time Obama was first getting into office. Perhaps the money was heading that way, what better for a money person than to be doing business in a place where people are valueless. Understand that isn't me saying Asian people are not worth anything, that is saying a Religion here keeps parts of it in check. The USA is big on checks and balances.
