the fact that the minimum wage is £6 on average in china as of 2016
Got a source on that? I thought it was £1 or something #thanksbrexit

this isnt about "biting" you stated my statement was utterly wrong, so all i asked you to do tell me why?
£8 hour is low for "western world" economies, and given we cannot determine what actual wage they are getting, and the fact that the minimum wage is £6 on average in china as of 2016 - its not a great difference.
I dont give a crap about fashion industry or brand value, why should i?
I am a purchaser, and i have been, and may be in the future, a potential purchaser of Rapha goods - it is up to me to consider how and where they are made, the quality of the product based on not ONLY its cost but on the statements made by Rapha themselves, and, how i and others have experienced that product and been dealt with by Rapha -
therefore i am entitled to express my opinion if i think that the cost 'v' purchase price is unwarranted and cause for question.
