BF>And how have you figured that out? How can they pay the same prize as us

BF>My friend that was in China said that the travel agency paid the busdriver
BF>$50 for a week and that included everything and then take that times 12 and
BF>that will be $600. That is his income *per year* and then he have to pay tax
BF>and fuel......

Pardon; but shouldn't that be $50.00 x 52 weeks = $2,600.00 per year.

BF>Then he have to pay for food, cloths and rent. How much is then left?
BF>Can he then afford to buy a computer for say $500? Don't think so, even if
BF>it's Made in China.
BF>Do you still think that the Economics of Hardware exist in China?

It sure beats being a hoer of a rice paddy hopeing for one more bowl
