Price doesn't have to be the primary factor though, that was my point. People can choose for whatever reasons they want, we just don't currently seem to care where manufacturing is being done.
Price does have to be the primary factor if you need something and can only afford the cheapest option. And this is the unfortunate reality for most people in the world, including those in first-world societies.
If we are, in fact, at the point where people are only buying the necessities and we still can't afford the cheapest options the game is kind if already lost.
Quality is actually a primary factor for me, which means for any important purchases (cars especially) I choose foreign-made products.
