basically, a while back a lot of stuff used to be made in country but that was by unionized workers and companies didn't wanna pay those wages anymore so they were like "hey, overseas ppl wanna make this for cheaper?" and started exporting the work for individual parts over to 3 or 4 separate countries for the lower costs they gave. so now we have "global value chains"
