Please. Instead of writing down all stuff in the sequence how it crosses your mind, take some time to think about the logic behind your own arguments.
They only make sense, when you ignore aspects like education - are Chinese workers similar well trained as US citizens? Really? The taxes you pay, are for infrastructure. Another advantage, which is often ignored by bad economists.
They had shown a documentary yesterday, about the Meyer ship wharf in Papenburg, Germany. There are only 4 wharfs in the world, all of them in Europe, which are able to build large cruise ships. The documentary also said the difference between Southeast Asian wharfs and European Wharfs: If you only want the wharf to weld steel together (simple low-tech freighters) the Asians will be as good as you can be, and much cheaper. But when you want a ship with perfect quality, state of the art technology and that with punctual delivery, you can't get around a European wharf.
And a ship is today, no longer the just the welds. A cruise ships need specialists for many tasks, which Asia still does not have. And in fact, even Asia imports. When a theater has to be build in Asia, you can be sure that you will have often a European company doing the important work.
The differences may not be visible, when you only look at the salary of a single worker - but when you know, that a Asian worker requires an engineer to instruct and supervise him, if you want him to do a special kind of weld, because he never learned how to read technical drawings or operate special equipment, you suddenly need 15 Asian workers, to do the work of a single US worker.
And when you have stricter quality standards, these Asian workers might also need much more time and material, because they need to rework their product more often until it passes the review.
That is also the aspect which will slow for example Chinas space program down for a while. They have over one billion citizens, but less trained workers and engineers as a tiny country like Germany. And their R&D staff is constantly lacking engineers - in all kinds of companies. China is big, and needs more - but the rather neofeudal system in China makes it hard to get enough.
