I think your talking about trade deficit.  It grows higher each year because outside countries can sell cheaper here and the other countries economy, like China, have a fixed value for their currency which is undervalued like 40%.\n\nThe USA doesn't force fairness for the cheaper products.  And don't forget - America is for sale.  We are selling ourselves to outside countries.

try www.alibaba.com, www.tdc.com.hk, or www.made-in-china.com. Basically all you have to do is try to find some trade lead in the web. After you find them send some inquiries at once and you will be able to compare prices and its quality. Remember: don't expect too much on them, usually they have poor quality.

Slave labor is cheap. China can make almost anything cheaper than we can, because they aren't concerned with such things as human rights and safety standards. They barely pay their people enough to survive, let alone to buy imported luxuries. They can't even afford to buy the Chinese made stuff.

No they usually don't.If you are buying things through internet from America, maybe you don't want to take the trouble of sending the goods back to China to repair if it's broken.So there is no point for them to have warranty.

Why are so many things made in China?\n\nManufacturing, especially the mass production of assembly-line goods, is in constant flux.  Companies in every country are looking for the cheapest place to manufacture goods.\nThis trend has accelerated by the pursuit of Free Trade agreements throughout the world.  These agreements create simultaneous reductions in barriers that nations use to protect their native industries.\nThe reduction of tariffs and customs, taxes which are paid on products or raw materials being imported or exported, the goal of trade agreements.  \n"Globalization" is the name of this trend: the constant search for low cost and high quality production regardless of national borders.  Thus, Japanese car makers build some assembly plants in the US, because the raw materials (steel, electronics, tires) are nearby, and the cost of shipping the vehicles to market is very small.  \nMany United States corporations contract to have their products made or assembled abroad because labor costs are much lower than they are in the US.\nChina has profited from this trend because it has an unlimited work force and wages are very low.  So, the production of thousands of products is awarded to Chinese companies.  If you visit any of the low-cost "dollar stores" in this country, you will find that virtually every item is made in China.\nOpponents of globalization argue that this trend is very unhealthy for workers.  By sending business only to the labor market that pays the lowest wages, wages are kept depressed for all other workers.  And, the reason that costs are so low in China is that workers don't have any benefits like vacation, health, or retirement.\nFor now, China has a huge work force willing to work for low compensation, great ports and railroads for the shipment of goods, and local resources of coal and iron for steel making and fuel.

Because 100% of the time it is cheaper than what it is being compared to. So they want the buyer to be aware of the fact that the two products do indeed compare to each other and hopefully the buyer will get their product instead of the more recognized, and more expensive, product. Hope this helps.

A certain quality and safety standard has to be maintained for goods to be imported in the US.  Other countries are probably nor meeting that criteria yet.  There are large quantity of goods being imported from China, so your statement is not entirely true either.
