Well, most people are aware of the cheap labour in China. You will never guess how "cheap" they are! Each worker is only paid $0.08 for each shirt that they produce! When the tour guide told us to make a guess, none of us guessed that they were paid so little. But the chinese are happy with their wages, and businessmen are happy to have struck such a deal. Infact, many of the factory workers look my age. They live and work in the company. Most of them come from the villages, uneducated, and so have to settle for the low pay. This is why a shirt costs $4 on the average.
However, because of their low education level, companies have to incur costs to train up their workers. Still, the labour quality is better than in Indonesia or Vietnam.
This is Zhu Hai (Pearl Harbour). There are abundant amounts of pearls being harvested from this particular seabed.
Besides labour, China has abundant resources such as water, steel, land etc. As these resources are cheap, they aide in attracting foreign investors into PRD.
