5.1 Why Do You Choose Chinese Suppliers?

Q: Why do you choose Chinese suppliers? 

A: The Chinese economy thrives as a manufacturing powerhouse and the nation's products seem to be everywhere. The majority of tags, labels, and stickers on a variety of goods proclaim they are “Made in China.” Because of this, it's understandable Western consumers might wonder, “Why is everything made in China?”

Given the abundance of Chinese products in the marketplace, it's understandable consumers might wonder why so many goods are made in China.

One of the reasons companies manufacture their products in China is because of the abundance of lower-wage workers available in the country.

China's business ecosystem of networked suppliers, component manufacturers, and distributors has evolved to make it a more efficient and cost-effective place to manufacture products.

While Western manufacturers comply with various health, safety, employment, and environmental regulations, Chinese manufacturers generally operate under a much more permissive regulatory environment.
