It was always fascinating to me that USA is a so called "biggest economy in the world", yet in my whole life I never saw a sign "Made in USA" on a real product.
@@cancel.lgbtq.6892 actually Japan's stubborness to outsource their productions outside of their country allowed their other eastern counterparts to overtake them. Protectionism defeated its purspose.
Simple equation of demand and supply. It's an aspirational product for which millions are willing to pay billions. It helps that the design and working is superior.
they may be overpriced but that doesnt mean they would have to be sold for the manufacturing price. Alot of people forget that to get the product and parts for assembly, first you have to Research & Develop them which costs much more then actuall manufacturing in most cases
Loren China earns job opportunities, full modern supply chains, stable society and a lot except profit. In my opinion, they are much more important than just a profit.
China profits more ! They Copy America's tech . And using the wealth to build a powerful military (by copying USA) & now openly insulting them worldwide . A communist country is definitely not trustworthy !
Designed here ... made over there. You asked them junk, they make junk. You ask them an iPhone, they make an iPhone. Chinese junk is in fact US junk design.

that's NOT TRUE at all, I've using HUAWEI Phone before, I bought the High Spec and after 2 weeks the phone binding. This is 100% China Brand and made In China for sure... Moral of the Story, they can make something look pretty and look beautiful from outside, but the material itself otherwise (low quality), got It???
The answer is simple = "it's because in China the supply chain is huge compared to other countries, literally everything needed is available within reach"
Elon Musk China is larger than other countries by far and has basic infrastructure to complete manufacturing task. But it will change shortly as cost increase.

STOP FUNDING COMMUNISTS! ... Made in china SHOULD be changed to ASSEMBLED IN CHINA.... For example, Apple iPhones are NOT china owned and is assembled in china under USA specs. .....

People have no understanding about this stuff, especially in US! all the things you're getting it now are fully made in China (or other Asian country) or the components of it! those stuffs which were used to be luxury in the past, now everyone can have it or somehow still can afford. Asking for them to come back to the US is impossible bcz it's gonna drive up the prices & less consumers gonna buy it, So, Less profit for the companies & less jobs for stores or retailers in US. Made in China doesn't mean it's garbage cheap stuff, it's depend up to your money, you can buy the best one with right amount of money or low life stuff with less money. Almost all the Amazon stuff is coming from China, 3$ phone charger on Ali express (alibaba) people are selling for 20-30$, these days even luxury cars or plane parts are coming from China. Without Asian countries most of the stuff were going to be nothing more than a dream of High class people, Phone market is big example of this.
Not owning high end phone or latest branded clothes is the least concern when human lives are at stake. We can live without luxury, but not with disease, climate change and recessions.
As a kid growing in a Romanian village I remember going to an open market on Sundays and seeing all the cheap poorly built toys all of them carrying the "Made in China" text. They were so bad. But then I started noticing an improvement and a few years ago I took the risk: bought a Xiaomi phone. Needless to say the next phone after that one was also a Xiaomi and I'm now the proud owner of a TV Box made by them, a screw driver, a fitness brand. And I couldn't ask for more in terms of quality.
May be you should try vivo or oppo. They are more better then xiaomi now. And more popular in china this year. I am not the saleman. The phone factory should give me money
Thank you for your honest report. I visited China last summer. When I came back and landed in Newark airport. It felt Newark was 100 years behind Beijing or even Xiamen airport. China's infrastructures are quite good. In China, I noticed every subway station has safety doors to protect passengers from incoming trains. If you want that to happen in NYC, MTA will inflate prices 10 times more, and drag it for 10 years. For the union votes, Cuomo or his successor will continue to turn blind eyes on MTA' corruptions and allow NY's roads and bridges to decay.
I am an electronic engineer. Once in a while I ordered a circuit board to be made from China. I uploaded a company an electronic file, then Chinese company made and shipped to the US. The same circuit board to be made in the US, it would cost me 10x as much. The reason is because of environmental policies in the US make it so prohibitively expensive to disposal of used toxic chemical.
oh really? I didnt even think about getting rid of the chemical will be expensive. At PCB manufacturing China is the best, even at the quality and even at the price. I also ordered a pcb from China.
@@covidwarrior2808 I went there 5 times in 2019. Very well developed, people are kind and welcoming, in fact there was so much culture that i got lost in it. So many different types of food. I was having agreat time.
yea my phone made in china, i've been using it for 4 years now, it doesn't slow down or lagging out unlike my old samsung galaxy s4 and samsung ultrabook. smh.
Prices in many many other countries include tax in the shelf price. I think the reason they didn't add it here was because different states have different sales tax. They could have averaged it though.
"Made in Japan" has always been a high quality manufacturing, right from the start. China is still planning on improving the quality of their products.
@@mottedreissig7874 idk about you but I heard that in the 70s-80s, "Made in Japan" was themed "poor quality" by Americans until the 90s, when JDM cars and Japanese brands become well-known, especially in the cars and electronics side
@@mottedreissig7874 Only fools believe made in Japan is always good Quality since beginning. No! Even early Toyota cars were Ford copies with very bad Quality. Early Toyota Dyna Truck models had high percentage of engine fault. It is written in Toyoda Keiichiro Biography.
@@mottedreissig7874 lol idiot, for sure u didn't know a thing. Japan only improving it's products quality during late 80s and early 90s. Just the same like South Korea, late 90s and early 00s. South Korea products still low quality.
And now I see new clothes that I buy being "Made in Bangladesh", never had I bought a shirt that was not made in china in the first 20 years of my life.
rtgtx yup US is the only country in the world that does not include taxes on their products because in reality the states are not really united that’s why they have different taxes per state and cities. What a dumb name to have while doing the exact opposite.
@@lotusinfotech4580 No need to make these electronics in India. Indian land and water bodies are already polluted due to textile, automobile and other industries. We certainly cannot allow the electronics industry to worsen our land and water. We're already facing the consequences of such mistakes. India does not need such kind of development.
This video explained it well, but I still miss the time when everything was made in japan, back in the 90s and early 2000s. Everything about then was about the quality product and the way it gets the job done right. Now people literally buy things just because of the brand name. Just look at supreme, the prices on those things are just wack!
I read the comments and suddenly I felt incredible Some Westerners think That Japan should produce What makes you think we should produce for you? Japan Pay $3500-6000 a month You're half paid? See Indians saying China is cheap labor lol China Pay $1000-1500 a month India $145-$200 Really want to laugh
In India Land is expensive, Labour is also expensive if a manufacturing firm reaches 100 workers it cannot fire them until and unless it gets labour ministry and local labour unions clearance (which mostly never happens), Transportation is also expensive in fact it is one the most expensive in emerging economies, and many more issues. All these can change via reforms but due to Democratic politics Reform bills never get passed in parliament. So don't go with that average income shit there are many things that affect industries.
@harry # Your Sony tv is no longer made in Japan. In fact its been many years since they outsourced their labors in China. Sony used to make good quality electronic products but not any more. Even LG , Samsung are made in China.
No Guys. All Made In China Product Are Low Quality.. Even They Building IN China Are Also Low Standard.. Come Visit Here In Japan Then Judge My Country..

China has very high tariffs on american products. Making american products very expensive in China. Trump is right. When he wants to shift from 1-way trade to 2-way trade.
@ironshark123 Most low end manufacturing have already moved from China to Bangladesh and Vietnam. Bangladesh will soon become a much richer country than India and Pakistan!!! How ironic!
Everything made in in China breaks or underperforms. China has no pride in its work. Shame on western companies for allowing their products to be made in such a shameless shithole. It's very difficult to buy anything nowadsys that isnt badly made in China or containing shitty Chinese parts.
Change the mode of consuming, stop wasting resources and money, then we don't need so many goods in our life so does the "world's factory", which actually takes chances from ur home countries.
Here's a little secret. All products of a specific type are manufactured by specific companies in China. It's like industries for industries. For example bicycles. Companies like Trek, Merida, Cannondale, etc. have only one factory. And there is not even a division in that company for each of these companies. The only distinction is the mold. They have a separate mold for Trek, and a separate mold for Cannondale. Then they paint frames. Some of them are even being painted together when they require the same color. They just stamp the logo and then they install the drivetrain. Same is true for shoes, phones, safes, appliances, etc. And the worst part is, because the technology is being shared with the factory, the factory sells the blueprints to chinese bootleggers. That's why some chinese-owned products sport exactly the same features and builds as the original product. The only distinction is that some of the legitimate companies have components that are sourced outside of china and some of these components actually determine the performance and quality of the products.
totally disagree with that. if the factories are selling the blue prints of the customers like adidas or nike they will try to sue them but whats more effective is terminate the partnership with them which will destroy there factory since those big customers occupy 40-60% of their capacity and the factory if loosing this looses their existence. I few has done that in the past and they all not existing anymore.
Yes! ! Things abroad are too cheap. Things that cost tens of thousands of dollars at home will only cost a few cents abroad! ! ! ! So many poor people in China like to buy things abroad, and they can empty the entire supermarket with very little money! They don’t even need a day’s salary, which is great! ! wowwowow! ! !
I worked in a Canadian company called Media Resources Inc whose engineers are Chinese, all components are from China, and it's assembled in Canada and labled Made in Canada then sold to US.
@harry #Nah, That has been confirmed as a rumor, The cost of plastic rice/eggs is higher than the real rice/eggs. And other countries don't let chinese food come in ? China import a lot of food every year,The food they produce cannot meet their own needs, so how can they be exported ?
@@deathtomorons9388 have you noticed foreign companies are leaving China one after the other in recent yrs? You can rest assured that "I" don't buy anything made in china because made in China doesn't last and this is a fact!
@@m.d.3805 I am pretty sure you don't live in stone age. So basically everything around you have more than 90% chance of being made in China. I don't have to wish anything just letting you know what the reality is.
Name one brand that doesn't manufacture its smartphones in China, the logistics and infrastructures and engineers are just really good, it takes a long time to build all these in other countries and it is more costly to manufacture in other countries at the moment due to their lack of logistics to send freights to all over the world in matter of hours.
the capacitors , IC , transformers could be made in China or Japan. made in USA very expensive not all earn 200usd a day most of the world only earn 7usd a day. so we cannot buy made in usa.

same for the Godiva chocolate. It even contains corn syrup and chocolate liquor processed with alkali. Wouldn't touch that rubbish even when totally free.
In China, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, such first-tier cities, the price of food and beverages will be much more expensive. In more than 100 other big cities, the price will be lower, and even the price of Starbucks is half lower.
In China, your company enjoy domestic economic power, hard working labor workforce, ultra low interest financing, world class infrastructures and so on . China is still the best country for manufacturing.
Some people tell that made in china product are worst and these products don't last for more than 3months but I could say that it is marketing!! in china they sell damaged pieces to other countries and they use and sell good products within the country
In the future, you will use products made in India and Southeast Asia. I believe you will miss the power of China! The Chinese cannot manufacture low-end products forever! It's time to raise the level!

skilled worker takes time to build. The US lost most of the skilled workers during the long period of out-sourcing since the 90s (the great manufacturing decline of US)
@@testes256 nope. They still get paid much more than most of africa, rest of Asia and South America. The low (compared to USA) wages in China are only part of the appeal. And the abundance of skilled workers is a bigger one.
it's similar to NIKE, before in the mid 90's NIKE shoes were made in KOREA and the shoes themselves are very durable, when CHINA took over NIKE shoes are easily worn out and less durable :(
I am from Perú and the prices data at 2:49 are sadly true. The minimum wage is 900 soles, which is equivalent to 272 us dollars, making some kind products very hard to get and some of them are even not sold in here due to high prices. For example, you can't find university textbooks in here and, if you find one, if it costs 70 dollars in Amazon in the United States, in Peru it costs 500 soles, more than 100 dollars, making almost impossible to be acquired for many people, making the problem of high prices not only for technology but also in education, health and much more. As an example, my mother is a university professor and she receives 1800 soles monthly, which is equivalent to 545 us dollars, now you can imagine how difficult buying a laptop to study is.
After coronavirus , US China trade war , along with US other countries are likely to shift their manufacturing and production units from China. It is not only about cheap labour but also the taxes and rules companies need to maintain while setting up a plant in other countries. If they target developing countries then it will be easier to pace up their production to a lot extent because the rules will be flexible.
Make everything in US. Don't buy from other countries, don't sell to other countries. Wait a few years, you will see the world has left you behind. You will be just a happy blot on the world stage. Go ahead, try it.
Great video. That's what I've been telling my family and friends back home for years now. Some items are more expensive in China than outside. Sidenote: Starbucks and other food food stores vary in price all around China. For example a burger can be $6 at McDonald's in Shanghai, $4 in Wuhan and $2.5 in the small city of Qinzhou. So the Starbucks part wasn't really explained.
It is universally true that prices of the same product/service varies in big(Shanghai) medium(Wuhan) and small(Qinzhou) cities, due to cost of land & buildings, utlilities, wages, taxes, etc. Do you expect an identical house has the same price in Manhattan and Boise, Idaho and Cheyenne, Wyoming? Or a meal in Paris and Amritsar, India? Or rent in Tokyo and Yubari, Hokkaido? Why did you bring up a point that is common sense?
And here in the US, a lot of workers and their unions demand so much from their company that it drives THE owners to seek out cheap labor outside the US.

Eastern Asian have been the main forces in manufacturing in the past several decades. Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China mainland. Now, Vietnam is a growing power.
