I kind of see what you mean. There are probably designers in China as capable as Rapha's UK based designers, just as there are probably manufacturers in the UK capable as capable as Rapha's China based manufacturers. So cost is clearly a factor.
Disclaimer, I couldn't actually be bothered to read the piece on the Rapha site so it is probably all covered there.
