these are your 2 possible choices:
1) robots
2) cheap 3rd world labor
in both scenarios the high paid western worker is a thing of the past...not because of china...but because of westerners and their own greed...here is the perfect example:

this is not really correct because britain is improting more as it is exporting - but you canīt blame other countries when a country does not have any goods competible in the market.
the biggest mistake of britain was to keep the pound instead of joining the euro.
i mean if you have a company and order something from another country on the currency they have - what will you prefer? to have a realiable information about your buying price or playing lottery ?
with importing more than exporting the currency also lost on value with the time and that makes it harder for britain to import but still cheaper as to produce it in the own country.
the desicion to be in a union but keep the own currency did not do good for any country.
even denmark have still problems even when the danish crown is connected to the eurp with a +/- of 2,5%.
the point what people like paul donīt understand are
1. you canīt be A BIT pregnand
2. no contry in the world can survive without the global markt.
3. even whan you accept the global market you will not get things for free
4. the advantages of a global market are advantages for every single individual but it is hard for a small country to survive or even beeing seen in it. that was the idea of every union in the world and with every union the world had a bigger growth. that was like that - is like that - and will be always like that.
any argument against the globalizm is an argument against prosperity and progress and it is also dangerous for the world because GLOBAL problems getting bigger and bigger every day and they will not be resolved with small and smaller units of people who ONLY think in themselves.
