I think it's the usual Chinese manufacturing cost advantage. Those fruit and nano pi's are from Shenzhen or Guangzhou. Professor Michael Hudson wrote a book, _Killing the Host_. He lays out the fact that with the Finance/Insurance/Real-Estate processing ~40% of GDP in US or UK, that functions as overhead cost on US/UK manufacturing. You just can't match Chinese prices with that level of management cost. --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
