From pictures, Im
guessing the situation in china is this:
- No labor unions
- No regulations
- No EPA.
I'll bet in china, the situation probably a throwback to the industrial revolution. You know, back before child labor laws and the like. In short, its probably a corporate paradise.

Yeah, thats not lost on me. You can make them by hand, most defiantly, but if your mass producing something, it's machined, or at the very least, you have one fancy jig set up.
