So I was right. You literally have no idea what you're talking about.

What are you even talking about with "they just don't pay ridiculous money to shareholders that sit on their arses all day"? Are you talking about dividends? Because those rarely amount to more than a few percent a year, and many companies do not issue dividends at all. In China, of course, all of the money goes to the corrupt billionaire owners. Despite the average salary of ~$10,000, China has more billionaires than the United States.

And Tech companies have had numerous scandals due to using factories in China that use child labor, overwork their employees, and abuse their employees. Even if the factories that make microchips don't do those things, do you really think their employees are paid well? Even if they are, cost of production doesn't only include that factory. The materials must be mined (low pay). The materials must be transported to a refinery (low pay). The materials must be refined (low pay). The materials must be transported to the factory (low pay). The refined materials are turned into an end product (possibly slightly higher pay). The costs are cumulative. Low+Low+Low+Low+Regular averaged out is going to be low.

You don't seem to have any understanding of business or economics.

And Wow, Wikipedia. Excellent scholarly source.
