China's Lost it's Cheap Edge?

Last night I was browsing the online edition of the New York Times (because I’m too cheap to pay for the WSJ online), and I was checking out its tech section which had a big pic of a slightly aloof-looking Chinese factory worker with the headline: “Supply Chain for iPhone Highlights Costs in China,” written by David Barboza. The article was mainly about how Silicone Valley's best took apart Apple's latest iPhone to investigate it's supply chain, briefly glimpsing into the reality of a developing world, well…developing.   This process, not so amazingly, results in higher standards of living and translates into higher production costs. Say you’re a company who sets up a factory in a developing country in order to take advantage of its cheap labor and avoid other annoying problems of developed countries (like health care benefits and stuff). Then, said country starts developing, people get rich (or at least are able to feed their families) and poof! No more cheap labor because: surprise, surprise, developing countries eventually develop.
