The cheap Chinese labour comes in handy for everything else. Board
stuffing is
just part of the equation There's plenty of labour in metalwork
manufacture,
assembly, test, packing etc.
And just remember that we were saying all these same things about cheap
Japanese labor until they not only caught up with America and Europe but
surpassed us in many ways, leaving us to be the ones to catch up.

I wouldn't actually say they've surpassed us in many ways, other perhaps than
making stuff that has good reliability and longevity at a keen price.

Check out aerospace for example. The west is still the leader.

Well the Chinese might not be able to put a man on the moon, but they
can sell you twelve pairs of socks for a pound!
