So cheap labor is one reason. And other these multinational companies freely exploit the many raw materials and natural resources of that underdeveloped country.
Meanwhile, free trade makes rich people and corporations richer, and poor countries and poor people continue to be as poor as they have always been. No serious progress at all,
