Also, at companies like foxconn ( the company that manufactures apple products) they take away like 30% of your monthly pay if you have a defective product
therefore, the quality of products made there isn't really worse
but the costs are so much lower
its really just like early 20th century america
when management treated employees like s**t

Yeah, sounds like it in a nutshell. I agree quality is no longer an issue. Like those model planes I talked about. they are great quality, and so incredibly cheap (though in the case of these I know most finishing is by hand since the runs are small, and the finish varies a lot (different paint jobs) making tooling up non-trivila for automation).
I think China is bound to become more expensive as their standard of living increases.
The US needs to hold a sustainable amount of manufacturing. Dunno what that % of the world market is, but it's below 50%, that's for sure
