ELI5: Even though other countries have cheaper labour and cheaper ways to produce goods, why is everything still "Made in China"?

Chinese Labor is still very cheap, especially compared to most of the developed world.

But more importantly, China has all of the infrastructure already in place to manufacture goods on a massive scale. They have the factories, the organizational process, the business relationships, the shipping ports, everything you need to make and sell THINGS.

It's not as easy as it sounds to move a factory. There's huge expenses. It takes literally years to build one from scratch, and that's just the factory.
