Unfortunately, these are almost exclusively made in China. When a government exploits its people in this manner, the result is cheap, cheap goods.
The Chinese ethos is more about continuous work, and not so much about price.

The result? Some thing can't be competitively made in countries where worker's rights are paramount.

Not sure how to fix that, and I'm not alone.

I am about to purchase an item that I will be marketing soon. I am trying to get it made in Canada or I would settle for the United States, but I can purchase 5000 said items f.o.b. Ningbo for 21.2721 cents each. They are not electrical and I am having trouble getting any where close to that price here. What to do?
