Chinese manufacturers: The end of cheap goods?

I have mixed feelings on this article.

Yes, China is no longer the endless supply of cheap labor it was.  But, in the electronics/computer area, there has been a continual decrease in prices with changes in technology.  And productivity has been improving, that has resulted in lower manufacturing costs.  Labor cost is often a small part of the total cost of an item.
