Why China?

Today’s class wasn’t that exciting.  At the beginning of class, I was still half asleep.  When I finally was fully awake, we started going over the CIA Factbook questions from the night before.  Somehow, I managed to get all of the answers right.  When we got to the question that asked why Mexico had so many airports, I said that it is because they need to get to other countries to go to work.  After that, we started talking about China and why they are the major exporters in the world.  We also found out that the United States is the major importer.  Then, Mr. Schick asked us why we get mostly all of our stuff from China.  After a long conversation, we figured out that it’s because in China they can pay people much less than they can in the United States.  Therefore, things are cheaper in China than they would be here.
