Transportation infrastructure is awful in India too. Maybe if you had a plant right by the coast and you built your own special roads. But that costs money too.

Not to mention it costs more to ship from India, even if they had a respectable fleet and ports

no doubt there's an ugly side to the global demand for high quality cheap electronics, but i have to wonder how many people here condemn Apple while not questioning their own electronics - including pc manufacturers and their components, xbox, the sony ps3, the wii, etc... pretty selective outrage.

Probably has something to do with the executives of those companies not deciding to give interviews to the NY Times where they are completely smug assholes about it.

Stop infantilizing the Chinese. They actually are pretty good at taking care of themselves.
Foxconn is a good example. They have even protested.
http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/careers/3329268/foxconn-workers-stage-protest-in-chinese-city/
Ironically they were protesting being transferred not wages or conditions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workers at a Foxconn Technology Group campus in China staged a protest last week, threatening to jump off a building if the company did not meet their compensation demands, according to local Chinese news reports.
Foxconn, a manufacturer of electronics for companies including Apple, Hewlett-Packard and Dell, confirmed on Wednesday in a statement that the protest had taken place. About 150 employees at the company's Wuhan campus staged the incident on January 4, it said.
"The incident was successfully and peacefully resolved later that morning after discussions between the workers, local Foxconn officials and representatives from the local government," the company said.
Foxconn did not state what it manufactures at its Wuhan campus.
The dispute occurred after workers were told they would be transferred to another business unit due to a shift in production lines, according to Foxconn. 45 employees decided to voluntarily resign, while the remaining workers chose to stay with the company.

so as long as you don't perceive a company to "smug" about it, that makes it ok?
like i said, selective outrage. i look forward to hearing how many people get rid of their console systems and audit their home and office electronics.

It's human nature to dislike someone who rubs your nose in it, even if others are engaged in the same act.
Adding insult to injury has always been viewed as poor form and is considered worse then just causing injury.

Not even close. You do know that China outsources, yes? Exactly for the same reasons the US outsources. As far as I know, though, China has not outsourced regional/state functions as the US has done.

Does China still have traffic jams that last for several DAYS on its major thoroughfares?
Also, I'm not exactly sure how this all plays into it but:
