We as a country are actively pushing manufacturing overseas. It is all the rage in the MBA schools to do so.
Of course, those same people are starting to realize that Vietnam and China have plenty of managers also, and little incentive to honor contracts once they have the physical means of production.
Did you know that when a company wants to use Chinese labor to produce their product, China demands that the company give them all drawings, parts lists, technical data, test procedures, about every aspect of the item to be produced?
IOW, you can’t just hire a Chinese company to assemble your product with cheap labor, you essentially give them the product in its entirety. They will make the ones you want, but then they will make ones for themselves to sell under another name...........................
