China is still the best choice for global manufacture outsourcing, US experts said at the 14th US-China Chamber of Commerce's Trade Conference in Chicago on Monday.

"China is still the choice because labor in China is efficient and the relationship that many companies have established cannot be easily replaced," Siva Yam, president of the US-China Chamber of Commerce, told Xinhua.
