Why are so many things made in China?
A huge labor force that is willing to work for cheap wages, however as wages there are creeping up you can expect to see the sweat shops of the world being relocated.
In order for you to truly understand why things are made in China, you have to understand history. China was the greatest civilization on the earth for thousands of years. They have made things that would take westerners, and other foreigners 100 more years to figure out how to make. The fact of the matter is, the Chinese people are educated, dedicated, and efficient workers. Even if you double their wages instantly, you will still see many things made in China. If you study Goldman Sach's report on the future, then you will see that China is set to claim 25%+ of the world's total GDP in the near future. Although textile companies and other manufacturing may shift to other countries, you can expect China to displace countries like Japan, and Europe in making fine quality goods as the Chinese have historically made. In 20-30 years time, people will not be after a Ferrari, but a Chinese car that no one has heard of yet. Another reason things are made in China is possibly political. Perhaps they have an arrangement with the U.S. government and other foreign governments for loans. If you have not noticed, China owns about $2trillion+ in U.S. treasury bonds, and have extensive investments in countries throughout the world. It's a 2 way street. China isn't just about manufacturing. They are contributing to the world in all sorts of ways.
In recent years, the tendency to move the manufacturing plants back to Europe and North America. The aim is to reduce unemployment and fight the economic crisis.

What is an important industry in South Carolina?
The 2007 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report states that, although manufacturing still plays a big role in the State's economy, South Carolina's economic base has become more diversified including growth in leisure and hospitality, retail trade and service. Employment in the State's manufacturing sector has been declining and now represents only about 14%, a decrease from 16% over the past five years.
Non-durable goods manufacturing, primarily related to the textile and apparel industry, has seen the greatest decline over the past five years. Offsetting these declines was growth in the manufacturing of other goods, such as the production of transportation equipment, fabricated metals, and chemicals.
The strongest employment gains have been in the State's service sector which has risen from 34% of total employment to 37% during the past five years. This sector, fueled by tourism, educational, and healthcare industries has contributed to a more diversified overall employment base and improved income levels.
The tobacco industry in South Carolina is key.

Where was the first rubber tree in Malaysia planted?
Malaysia is the leading producer of natural rubber in the world. About 46% of the total world's rubber is produced in Malaysia. The rubber plantation was started in Malaysia in 1877. First, the seedlings were brought from the Amazon Basin, and were planted here on a experimental basis. Later, when the rubber seedlings were successfully planted, attempts were made to produce it on a commercial scale. The British people, who colonised the region and introduced rubber tree, provided the capital for clearing the forest and planting rubber trees. They also provided the market for rubber. The skilled labour that was needed was managed from India, particularly from South India.
Conditions favourable for Rubber Growing
# A mean temperature of 27°C, never falling below 22°C.
# Heavy rainfall above 200 cm., with no drought.
# Deep rich soils with good drainage preferably scrumbly, well-oxidized and acidic in reaction
# Adequate supply of labour is an important factor for the collection and plantation of rubber over large holdings
Area of Production
Rubber can grow anywhere in Malaysia, because of the suitability of climate and soil; but most of the rubber estates are concentrated in the western coastal plains of Malaysia. The plantation in coastal zone gets the advantage of nearest port for it's export. Yet very low areas are avoided in order not to suffer from stagnation of water. The greatest production is in its Jahore State of Southern Malaysia. Here Rubber cultivation occupies about 4-2 million acres or about 65% of the total cultivated area in the country.
Problems of the Rubber Industry
At present, the policies of the Malaysian Government are not as favourable to foreign investors as previously. The Government regulations, regarding benefits and wages to native workers, are more strict, and the taxes are higher. The rubber planters also face the problem of surplus production (it is because the huge areas are available for the rubber plantation), which results in lowered prices and profits. The abundant production of synthetic rubber in the U.S.A. and other countries has also given a great set back to marketing. The synthetic rubber, which is made from petroleum, coal, alcohol or other materials, is obtained at a very low cost of production. Another problem is the need to replace a large proportion of the trees, which are very old, with new ones of very high yield. The Government has laid a special tax on exported rubber, and the money, thus, raised is utilized for the cost of replanting trees. Because of all these hazards, the rubber planters are now converting the rubber estates to that of palm. But it does not mean that the rubber plantation system will discontinue. The synthetic rubber is excellent for certain purposes, but it is not yet as satisfactory as natural rubber for general purposes, such as tyres. As such, with an expanded role of the Government in the management of the rubber plantation, the production of rubber in Malaysia will undoubtedly continue, and, perhaps even increase in importance.
Rubber Export
Malaysia produces about 1-5 million tons of natural rubber annually. A major part of it is sent to Singapore or Penang, from where it is exported all over the world. The chief rubber-importing countries are:
(i) Singapore (for re-export),
(ii) Russia and European countries,
(iii) the U.S.A.,
(iv) Japan and
(v) India.
Uses of Rubber
Rubber is used for making innumerable articles ranging from footwear, sports goods, cushions, insulated material for cable, pencil erasers to tyres and tubes.
However, it is its use for making tyres and tubes of automobiles which is of greatest importance. Thus, indirectly, rubber helps in promoting the system of modern transport and communication. Malaysia will continue to play its dominant role in world's rubber production and export.
