I wonder if the chinese/taiwanese manufacturing process for them is the same? Labor is cheap there but at the same time, I’ve seen that many of the large scale facilities over on that side of the water have lots of specialized machines for each type of product they make. Because competition is so fierce, you have to get that 2% edge in efficiency, over your neighbor who makes the same thing.

Cool video though :)
