    Every step of the supply chain has a profit margin attached. Sometimes just a few percent, but often double digits.

    That’s true in China as well. The only difference is in the price of what is being marked up.

          You think there’s more corruption in the US government than the CCP? That China’s market is more free? Give me a break.

            Doesn’t the USA have much higher wealth inequality than China’s? If so, is that not the result of corruption? If not, so you consider the visible symptoms of it?
