I've often had the same thought about other Chinese products. 
Example: Most smokers here use Chinese gas cigarette lighters, 
many of which have an LED torch powered by three button cells. 
Smuggled to India through Myanmar (Burma) and no doubt passing 
through several stages of profit-making hands, they retail here 
for Rs.5 (~7 US cents) and sometimes 3 for Rs.10.

I also wonder how they manage their shipping costs, even with 
government subsidy. I've seen zener diodes listed in *single* 
quantities at AliExpress, the Chinese eBay, for $0.018 with free 
shipping to India! And it's been my experience that they are very 
reliable even for such truly minor purchases.
