As the article mentions:

> the companies were selling products below the cost of manufacture and that the Chinese companies were benefiting from unfair subsidies from their government.

I assume Foxconn does not get subsidies to sell iPhones below cost :)




I just don't understand how easy it is to determine the cost of manufacture something outside of one's economy and infrastruture.

I'm in Argentina at the moment and I'm constantly hearing local businesses accusing china of dumping because they can't produce more cheaply, but than everywhere else in the world we buy Huawei, Xiaomi, etc I feel that accusations of dumping are more political interpretations than measurable facts.
