I agree that foreign supply of parts is necessary. I don't like the idea that the cost savings are at the expense of the workers' health and well-being though. There should be some sort of limit on the countries we're allowed to use for off-shore manufacturing based on criteria that includes some human-rights/treatment.
My opinion.

I concur with you - one of the problems though is whose definition of human rights/treatment do you use?
Frankly speaking, I'm glad I live in the USA and although there is overregulation, relatively speaking, our workplaces are safe and employees generally treated well, but if you have a large population of dirt poor workers, their idea of safe and human rights seem to vary a great deal from country to country.
Heck, we can't even agree within the so-called developed nations of the world.
