These are the same companies throwing fits over China's massive production of counterfiet repair parts!
I was really impressed with the brake pads made from wood chips and glue.

Maybe they'll offer a replacement carved ivory steering wheel for my Rolls Royce Shadow III.

"..."Southfield-based Lear Corp., one of the largest makers of auto interior parts such as seats, is also growing in China, though it says much of that growth is to meet increased demand in China. Lear had 1,950 employees in China at the end of 2003, up from about 1,220 employees in 2002..."
Well, they fail to mention the 1100 in 2001 and 250 in 2000. And those are just the Americans that they've transplanted there.
The larger Tier-1 suppliers have built their plants and bet their future profits on China.
If they try to re-start their operations in the USA, they'll have to import the talent from China. Everyone here will be trained to say: "Ya wan't fries with yer tofuburger?"................FRegards

Great, the price of car parts should go down ... just like they did for Nike shoes!
