How Do Chinese Suppliers Have So Much Better Prices, Even On American Products?

[S. Petrukhin]

Maybe the Chinese comrades work harder and have fewer claims? Maybe they have fewer people who drown in luxury, fewer people who are completely sexless, but contribute to the value? Maybe they do without dozens of intermediaries and stock exchange idiots who create nothing?

Otherwise why would Huawei build some half a dozen of research centers in Europe?

I believe its more than just cost factor, there is a political too imo -> China seeks ground-breaking EU investment deal, as the timing is right too while the orange man gets too distracted and so busy crying& whining on his loosing.
