| I think, due to regulations, products need to be exported out of China and then imported back to its ports; resulting in higher pricing. For example, eventhough Nike is known to be made in China, you'll find much cheaper prices in the US. I have colleagues that would stock up on Nike while traveling to US from China. Ridiculous, eh? I do feel China exports all it's quality items out and keeps very low quality for domestic sale.
We plan to shop 'til we drop at Hugo Boss, Macy's, Target, etc., on our next trip to US. Really. |
