ASSEMBLED IN CHINA


HOW CAN A US BASED COMPANY, MAKE THE INTERNALS, ELECTRONICS PARTS, WOOFERS, TWEETERS, MIDRANGES, CABINETS ETC. ETC. AND THEN SHIP ALL TO CHINA, AND THEN SHIP BACK TO THE GOOD OLD US, AND, THEN TEST AND I GUESS DO SOME KIND  OF QUALITY CONTROL, PACKAGE AND SELL THEM. YOU HAVE OCEAN FREIGHT, AIR FREIGHT, GROUND FREIGHT, ETC.

THE POINT I AM TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT THIS COUNTRY IS IN DEEP TROUBLE, WE COULD DO THE WHOLE PROCESS HERE AND PUT PEOPLE TO WORK VS PAYING CHEAP LABOR OVERSEAS. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF COST INCURRED EVEN WHEN THEY DO THIS.

It should be noted, it is NOT just a matter of the amount of audio products that can be stuffed into a container . The Chinese government heavily subsidizes shipping costs. Between the 3rd world wages, no environmental concerns , already maximizing profits , the Chinese manufacturing factories can literally ship products across the world cheaper than we can ship within the country because of those heavily subsidized costs.
Note as with lower 3rd world labour coasts and non existent evironmental costs , the shipping is also a maximizing of profits.
The prices we pay, landed here for most Chinese audio products is NOT reflected in context to the
reduced costs mentioned, let alone when inferior materials chosen or the quality. 
Not fair to generalize, but much, much, more often than not, it's just simple truth and fact. Rarely is customer service provided, yet those cost savings are not realized by the customer, only realized as a further maximizing of profits. .....
