1. Its American companies that are moving jobs to china 2. Its more than China. Its Vietnam, Mexico, Bangladesh, Eastern Europe, ect. 3. The minimum wage in China has tripled over the past several years. Workers are getting more rights. 4. Because of the above factories are beginning to close in China as American companies move production to cheaper nations, such as Vietnam. In short these nations have underdeveloped economies, so labor is cheap. Eventually those nations will start to have a developed economy, with workers demanding better wages and working conditions (this is china now). In due time these nations will have a fully developed economy where labor costs are comparable to the US (this is japan now, which used to be in the same position as china) Also, if it wasn't for chinese labor then you couldn't have cheap goods at places like walmart. Cheaper goods mean that you effectively have more money. There is something to be said about comparative wealth, TL;DR - its called globalization. Look it up.

I know its globalization, I am taking business classes, international business is one of my classes this semester to be frank. It just doesnt mean I have to like the outcome of it till all the world's economies are balanced and companies can compete on even footing.
