The world, including Japan, has simply been forced to
compete on price. If factories don't lower
their cost the company will cease to exist. Now it is
China's move just as it was Japan's back in the 80's.
We have been here before - how soon we forget!

Spot On! It always comes down to supply and demand, expenses
vs revenue, and who can stay profitable. Right now, the
environment in China allows for an easier path to
profitability for that market - regardless of how the little
guy may, or may not, get dumped on. I'm pretty confident that
is the way things will remain until the day when food,
clothing and shelter are completely free...

Selling out to China

Senior vice presidents of Microsoft: "It's definitely a cultural change to
use foreign workers. But if I can save a dollar, hallelujah."

The time for playing nice with corporate turncoats and their enablers in
government is over. It's time to name names and demand that American
companies act like they actually give a damn about the land of the free and
the home of the brave.
