The price of a Harley would never be 41% less then it cost here, unless it was made there. Then it would be a matter of material and manufacturing costs in China. There is nothing that keeps prices grounded other then purchasing behavior. There is no baseline, no break even model, well actually most of the low end production in china is close, actually bet allot of it looses capital. (-) zero (+) as in losses, break-even, profits. The break-even grounds the market. They have that we do not, we subsidize incomes and cost of living.


Its all based on resources, basically raw materials and operating costs, is or are most things half the price.
The middle class is 10-60K, some of them are below the US poverty line, would a person earning 10K per year be comparable to a 20k income in the USA, I suspect that would be yes.
