Another critical advantage for Apple was that China provided engineers
at a scale the United States could not match. Apple’s executives had
estimated that about 8,700 industrial engineers were needed to oversee

take as long as nine months to find that many qualified engineers in
the United States.

In China, it took 15 days.
