Given the price difference quoted between Chinese and American plastics work, I’d have to guess that China has a large, efficient base in the sector with major economies of scale. (I can’t imagine that lower labour costs have much to do with this specific issue, though I’m open to correction.) Nobody else, east or west, is going to be able to match that from a standing start in less than years, if ever.
