I think that to be a material manufactured in China, the price is not very low compared to other types of imports (consumer electronic equipment, etc...) at least in Europe. I think they are products manufactured in China with Western prices and this will no longer be hidden any longer, the people rebelled.

You can't give them away new in the box after you buy them. Just my thought.

it may not be true on the rare occasion but for the most part it is, i had two FEJ F-16's one with only a few flights the other was NIB and got less for both then the cost of one and i felt lucky to have got what i did out of it.

Call me a conspiricy theorist but I think it's all part of 'the plan'.
From the article:
A rude wakeup call for the'foreign companies' who's Ipads will cost more to manufacture but what about the 'Iplad' copy made around the corner, guess what ?, it's now even cheaper than the original, wow, gotta buy one of them.
Yep, teach us how to make & copy the REAL high tech stuff now. There's no more western can opener or christmas tree factories to send to the wall any more. Let's move on to everything else.
There's a chinese saying that goes along the lines of 'when we hang the capitalists it will be with the rope that they sold us'.
Don't worry about ARF jets, when the western government's 'level playing field' policies finally do level out & you too are earning third world country money the new thread will be 'who makes the best rubber band powered ARF.' - John.
From the article:
A series of strikes over the past two months have been a rude wakeup call for the many foreign companies that depend on China's low costs to compete overseas, from makers of Christmas trees to manufacturers of gadgets like the iPad.
The government, meanwhile, is pushing foreign companies to make investments in areas it believes will create greater wealth for China, like high technology.
