Simply because - if an american company can get a product made cheaper overseas (including the cost of transporting it) - then there is no point employing americans at a higher wage to do the same job ! It's the same in most 'western' countries !
There are many problems faced by multinational companies in host countries. The main problem is the huge cost of labor in the host country so as to be able to coordinate the other branches in other countries.
Manufacturing companies often relocate to states or countries with lower wages to reduce labor costs, which can significantly impact their overall expenses and profitability. By utilizing unskilled labor in regions where wages are minimal, these companies can maintain competitive pricing and increase their profit margins. Additionally, lower labor costs can enable companies to invest more in technology or other areas of production, further enhancing efficiency and productivity. This strategy is primarily driven by the pursuit of cost efficiency in a globalized economy.
Lower labor costs in other countries led to job loss in the United States because it is more cost efficient, the lower wages makes it less costly to have the same amount of workers.

China is known to be a low-cost source for precision machinery. The country has a large manufacturing industry and offers competitive prices for machinery due to lower labor and production costs compared to other countries.
Out sourcing of labor is caused by corporate cut-cutting strategies to lower overhead (cost of labor to produce product) thereby, in combination, increasing profit margin, lowering (more competitive) product pricing and increasing market share.The cost of labor is less in other countries where the standard of living is lower than the U.S. because it costs less to live, (i.e. the standard of living lower) workers are either willing or forced to work for less than what and American would work for in the U.S.
