Today I fitted a tv to a Swivel Tilt wall mounting bracket, nothing special in that you may think.
What is amazing to me is that the cost of the bracket that included, 12 fixing bolts and washers, two large rawl-plugs and screws, one spanner and one allen key. All of this, including delivery to my nearby Argos shop, £4.99.
The bracket was made in China but supplied from a UK based eBay seller. See Here
How do they do it???

Re. the OP, the Chinese have developed efficiency by devoting whole towns, small cities even, to specific industrial diciplins i.e. Metals. They control workforce migration by providing social welfare to migrants who they want. City and industrial wages are higher than those in rural areas though much lower than those in the west. The frightening issue is that this disparity won't last indefinitely, but it suits the Chinese economy to gain a highly competitive market share until they dominate - then how will we be?
