Yes, China is very suitable for LLCS As

1> there is a surplus of labor force: in China there are 1,3 billion people and china's labor force is 800,7 million people (in 2007)! Due to the fact the Party prevents formation of labour unions, the power of the labour force is low and they labor cost can still compete with new comers like Vietnam and India. Furthermore the so called migrant workers, coming from the Chinese inner land where there is a lot of unemployment, keep the wages low.

2> China logistics and transportation system is grown up and very reliable. China has now efficient shipping capabilities and a dozen of large harbours.

3> China has low costs of raw material.

4> China's factories are very flexible. (People are the most adaptable machines)
