I never understand why this country is so ham-stringed that it can't manufacture electronics like this like it used to to compete with our Asian friends who are ever ready to sniff out an opportunity, somebody could make a killing and I would pay good money immediately to get this issue sorted without having to learn new DIY skills and 30+ days for delivery.
Thats easy.
Hong Kong (shirley) has always been a highly capitalist free trade low tax system.
China was so poor when it was run as a typical communist centrally controlled socialist economy that people died at 35 and literally ate still born babies and road kill for protein. Till the socialists pinched their noses 50 years ago and allowed rampant capitalism and ownership, free trade, self employment and low taxation in one small area of china - Shenzen. It made a fortune, and went from poverty stricken shit hole and mass starvation to a industrial powerhouse that it is now full of billionairs.
So the obvious answer to your question is that we have too many drags on business. We are way too socialist. It makes society poor. How can I start a business making better chargers when the gov tax everything I want to do to death and force things like minimum wages and masses of regulations onto me? I cant. So we have to rely on china and hong kong.
