Who has the labour cost advantage?
Rising costs and geo-political tensions have seen an increase in the number of Chinese companies relocating their production to other Asian countries.

Subcontinent economies, including Bangladesh and India are also benefiting, thanks to their large and comparatively young and lower-paid workforce.
