Once their business and distribution infrastructure is developed enough their (our?) production facilities will fit right in.

Production facilities are only useful with markets to sell your goods to. Like ours.

In their warfare are they going to all this trouble to build their productive capacity so they can turn around and not sell to us?

Doesn't make a lot of sense.

I thing you're starting to understand but are still in denial. Just think about the size of the Asian market and its level of consumption. Then tell me why would they want to turn around and sell to us? They don't have a good distribution network yet but it is quicky appearing thanks largely to American capital.

Anyway, I proposed a market-enchancing solution to offshoring. Namely, removing US patent protection for expatriate business. The more I think about it the more I like it. Patent's are a command economy tool (they were first used by kings and robber aristocracy). Removing those that are obviously wrong will only aid the market forces. And boy, is it wrong to litigate domestic producers into the ground while producing offshore? Patents are a huge mess on their own that needs to be cleaned up. They have a legitimate purpose but a very dangerous way of achieving it (actually they don't achieve their stated purpose.) But that's another story altogether.
