have better options than working for $15 a day. That's not the case in China. You're missing the bigger picture here. The US economy is no longer driven by manufacturing and it hasn't been for several decades. The US economy is knowledge based. It's not all that relevant where things are made. That's no longer how we create wealth in the US.
