Does It really all come down to the cost of producing turds?

There is quite a lot of discussion here on Rollitup about Chinese products compared to western products US, EUR, GB, CAD, ETC.
Some argue cost cutting via cheap low grade inferior parts is the reason that China can sell their products much cheaper than the west, but many have over looked Turd Production costs.
Turd production in China by price per pound or kilo is much lower compared to that of western countries.
How have we come to that conclusion?
Lets have a look at minimum monthly wages.


Currently, the highest minimum wages are in parts of Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces, which have all surpassed the RMB 2,000 (US$289) mark, as well as in the municipalities of Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Tianjin.

Shanghai continues to have the highest minimum wage in China, at RMB 2,480 (US$35 per month, followed by Shenzhen and Beijing, both at RMB 2,200 (US$31 per month.
Resulting in the low Turd price.


In 2020, the national minimum wage in United States remained fixed at 1,118.6 € per month, that is 13,423 euros per year, taking into account 12 payments per year.
If we look at the minimum salary in United States dollars, which is the official currency in United States, we can see that, this year, it was 1,256.7 United States dollars.
Hence the Turd price per pound is much higher.

How about if the Chinese start producing seeds?

You figured out wages are low in china compared to western countries? Wow.
