"Chicago-based Wm Wrigley Jr Co..."

And the "free" trade cheer-leading Asian Times conspicuously omits telling us the location of factories manufacturing the gum!

Correction: The article did eventual say where ""Chicago-based Wm Wrigley Jr Co." manufactured the gum with which they cornered 60% of the China market:

"Wrigley's entered China in a big way in 1989, when it built its first wholly owned chewing gum factory in Guangzhou. Last October, Wrigley's opened a 50,000 square-foot factory to make gum base - the material that gives gum its chewiness - in Shanghai. Since the opening of the Shanghai plant, the company has been able to produce all the ingredients for chewing gum on the mainland."

This "free" trade stuff is really working well for America after all.
