Paul Ross, thank you for an explanation of your position.
If I understand your position, outsourcing of the manufacturing of the product is a leading indicator to the movement of all functions of the business to the same location. Effectively American businesses and businessmen picking up and moving to China instead of just a foreign direct investment (FDI). You also then make the case that FDI (assumably not limited to niche outsourcing across labor markets) leads to indigenous foreign labor becoming more competitive than the firm that outsourced there.
There have been studies of outsourcing and it's impact on the skilled and unskilled or low-skilled work force, trade and competition. Would you like to discuss them?
