China government is more broke than they admit
The China government is more broke than they will admit to the rest of the world. Think about it: They have spent vast sums of money building domestic infrastructure over the past two decades and are desperately trying to modernize their military with the latest expensive high-tech weapons. To make things worse, their biggest asset holding is United States *debt* which Uncle Sam increasingly looks likely might default on. So yeah the government of China needs all the revenue it can get, and with "foreign" electronic goods taxes/duties of 38%, ironically even if they are manufactured domestically, there is a huge and growing potential source of revenue that they cannot overlook as Chinese consumer demand rises.
