Unfortunately that being non existent, is also why India is good for making stuff for cheap...
Where huge populations exist, poverty will also be a problem. And yes countries will have to have ultra cheap labor hands to be competitive to China. I have a theory that in neighbor Turkey that it's economy fell of a cliff the latest years, it was partly intentional move from their president, to push population to poverty, lower wages, convince big corporations to build manufacturing there. Many countries try to secure part of the manufacturing that will leave China and move to other countries and the only way to do it, is by simply offering cheap labor.
But a massive movement of manufacturing relocating in a country could be also the first step to improve in the long run that country's working and living conditions. If huge numbers of factories got build in India that will be a huge win for India. Having those facilities there, the government can slowly start making laws that will secure minimal working conditions and wages in those factories, while at the same time avoid angering the corporations. You know, there are many Chinese tourists in Greece every year. I can't say the same about Indian tourists. Maybe people from India prefer other destinations, or maybe all this manufacturing in China does make many people wealthy enough to come this way for vacations.
