U. s. companies have made fewer manufacturing contracts with china in the last few years, preferring other countries in the region. which of the following is a potential reason? china has most-favored-nation trade status with the united states. china has large reserves of cheap labor and can produce inexpensive goods. china's standard of living has increased, and workers are requesting more pay. shipping costs from china over the pacific ocean have decreased.

The answer is "China's standard of living has increased, and workers are requesting more pay."

China has the quickest development of utilization of any nation on the planet – whether this is estimated just by family utilization or incorporates government utilization on territories indispensable for personal satisfaction, for example, instruction and health. China's personal satisfaction is superior to would be normal from its present phase of monetary advancement. Clearly, income is just a single part of expectations for everyday comforts, while the typical cost for basic items is another. Given a settled level of salary, the higher the average cost for basic items, the lower the expectation for everyday comforts. That is why workers are requesting more pay.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
