"The labour for Foxconn is currently still cheap enough that significant investments in automation systems are just not worth it."

And once it _is_ worth it, the factories are best sited where the logistics are best.

Generally that means closer to consumers than suppliers, or where energy costs are lowest. Either way, china will lose its advantage.
