Where is the freedom for the people who once had a job that paid enough for them to support a family and now live on benefits?
Bringing jobs back to the West will push up the costs of goods. Push down the need for countries to subsidise 10s millions which will grow to 100s of millions.
Because I'm pointing out a trend, this is not the end game. The Thrid World is far from stopping its drive to take jobs from the West. This is what China wants.

The Chinese seem opposed to allowing free bids for its building. They want all the work done by themselves.
The Silk Road's purpose is to bring Chines goods to the West at an even cheaper rate. That will put more Westerners out of a job. The West has already passed the point where the working population taxes can support the non-working. That gap will keep increasing. When will the West reach the point where their treasury bonds are no longer worth buying?
Or the point where austerity is so tight some people are living in a similar condition to the slums of Victorian times? The middle classes are living in working class incomes?
You face three threats, I say you as I will be gone by the time it really hits.
Migration. How would Serbia cope if the millions flooding into Europe stopped in Serbia? Already the UK, France, Germany, etc are having problems coping.
Globalisation. The move towards sending jobs to the cheapest country is not slowing down, the Silk Road proves China wants to increase it.
Automation. Machines doing the jobs that once required 10 or more people to do. Automation will put millions out of work, that's what they're designed to do. Will the companies shedding workers pay the same amount of taxes the sacked workers use to do or will they just make more in profits?
All this is happening now and if all you have is pointing out I played the game the way it's rigged. Then you have nothing to offer.
