China went to bed and took a nap and stopped production of everything,” says Michael Carrol, the purchasing manager at Colorado Cyclist, a bike shop in Colorado Springs, Colorado. During the past few decades, the Chinese economy has featured lower production costs from cheaper labor and raw materials, as well as lower regulatory standards, and China has benefited immensely from these comparative advantages.
