Yes it is a simplified example but in it is a huge part of the manufacturing game. Lets also not forget the environmental issues. IF it were me, I'd build my factory in remote China simply because I can bribe the officials to look the other way while I dump waste into the rivers not to mention bribing the officials to make favorable conditions for me. Over say 20 years, the money can add up. I can construct a factory cheaper there than here. I have less safety concerns since life is cheap. How many more ways and $$ do you need? Manufacturing is pretty much dead here unless it is some high tech stuff.
