as with the topic, production cost is the real reason. nothing else. profit margins are way better in the mass producing factories of ASIA. everything is cheap in Asia, even life is cheap. Occupational Health and Safety is almost nonexistent. Just ask Apple!!!

Again,..its all about PROFITS!

Same reason Honda is making their CIVCS in Thailand and NIKE has their factories in China, Vietnam and Taiwan. Good old capitalism and globalisation.

Why would I pay an italian Euros if I can pay around about 2$ a day for a factory worker in china for a 13 hour workday!!!!. Values may ot be accurate but you get th picture.

CHEERS!
