On the subject of "MADE IN CHINA": There was a story in the local
paper's
business section about the bottleneck at various West Coast ports,
specifically
Long Beach and Los Angeles. Imports from Pacific Rim countries,
particularly
China, are arriving at such a rate that ships wait as much as a week
to be
unloaded because the port facilities can't handle the flow. New people
are
being hired and the facilities expanded, but such expansion takes
time.
Of course what's less visible is the flow of money in the opposite
direction.
If US manufacturers don't want the business at that price, then they
have no reason to whine when an offshore firm does.
Would you be willing to work for what your Chinese counterpart is paid? And
work under his conditions?
Would you be willing to repeal most environmental, safety, and child-labor
laws? How about intellectual-property protection?
So what's your solution? Shut off Pacific Rim imports and "Buy
American"? Then cheerfully pay maybe $2,000 for a 21" Motorola TV
rcvr? Or do you actually think that by shutting down imports from
China we can "reform" them?
I wouldn't.
