Blame their government...outsourcing is a part of business, and as long as there is a place where labor is that cheap, that is where ALL business, not just Apple, is going to outsource. And lets not forget...we have a minimum wage law for jobs that are on the books, but look at your common lawn worker, probably making less than $25/day and working from sunrise to sunset...believe me, if this country didn't have laws against child labor, we'd have kids doing sh*t work for next to nothing simply because we could. Our government, while far from perfect, protects people from those kind of work environments.
Our country will never get to that point because the people of our country wont do the work for that...we've proven this within our own borders, hypocritically crying about illegal immigrants being here but not blinking an eye when they are manually laboring for us. It's just how the system works...the country may be in rough economical shape, but we're not heading towards that kind of situation on a wide scale because A.) We're lazy, and B.) We're used to the way it is now to a point where we'd fight to keep it that way before submitting to it.
But I also want to touch on your comment about how we've lost all manufacturing jobs...this is FAR from true. We've outsourced consumer products for the better part of the last century, but we've also maintained an extremely strong insource of production as well, but because it's here and it's normal, we don't think about it when we think about jobs. "Made In The USA" is still a very strong business model, and we still have a staggering amount of companies that stand by it. Add to that the fact that selling and servicing outsourced products is something that is still strong (even with e-commerce)...you have to move the products regardless of where they come from, and the more products being produced in China, the more people we need to sell those products.
These people have jobs because of outsourcing...if you remove that, you turn many of those places into poverty stricken areas like you see so much of in the middle east and Africa. Places where there is no work for people to do so they simply pro-create, spread disease, live terrible lives and then die (most likely due to violence because their areas suck up any kind of normality we live by daily and feed it to militias and tyrant leaders). They may be working for only a few bucks, but they could also be withering away in a rice field with no work and no means of progression. It's only horrific (in terms of income) because we as Americans are spoiled by a system that our country was built on...one cannot look at a country with very different settings and rules and compare/contrast like you are, because it's simply a moot point.
