Hmm, that's interesting. We know that Wal-Mart buys ~7.5 billion in goods directly from China and another 7.5 billion or so from suppliers buying from China. With almost 300 billion in sales, and a 3.6% profit margin, are you arguing that the original cost of the goods sold by Wal-Mart is only 5% of the final price...and ~90% is the cost of running Wal-Mart stores?
