If product X cost is $100 in the USA and $26 in China, which do you think a company will pick to stock? Now if it was $27 and $26 I am sure they would stay here.

Why is it cheaper in China? Simple, Americans demand a Disneyworld where everything is perfect. That has a cost that American consumers and Corporations don't want to pay.
*Has a Chinese manufacturer ever had to go through the disgustingly expensive and time consuming "environmental impact study" before building a new factory?
*How about waste disposal once the factory is running, what kind of regulations exist in China.
*Union wages.
*OSHA
*Workers comp
*Liability Insurance
*Preservation of natural resources.
*ETC . ETC, ETC
Americans want everything perfect, everyone taken care of, the environment perfect ..... FINE, but there is a cost involved in doing so. A cost that American consumers obviously don't want to pay, that's why everything is made in China ... duh.
Now we are going to pay.
