And how have you figured that out? How can they pay the same prize as us
when they only are making, say between $1 000 and $2 000 per year?

My friend that was in China said that the travel agency paid the busdriver
$50 for a week and that included everything and then take that times 12 and
that will be $600. That is his income *per year* and then he have to pay tax
and fuel......
Then he have to pay for food, cloths and rent. How much is then left?
Can he then afford to buy a computer for say $500? Don't think so, even if
it's Made in China.
Do you still think that the Economics of Hardware exist in China?
