And government protection for those industries would make it even more costlier. Thats the reality.

And the sky is green. Get real.

The cost of importing can be made prohibitive. Your "cost-universe" is particularly a function of Chinese Communist guns and batons aimed at their own hostages. Their populace. And their wages are the world beaters. Your so-called three continent experience is not particularly believable. As the wages in all the Pacific tigers easily are higher than China's. India for example is not as cheap as China.

Sure there are other cost factors besides wages. China also SUBSIDIZES its exports. And subsidizes inducements for the outsourcers to prefer them. But once again, none of that is free trade. That is governmental manipulation from the get-go.

Either way you look at it, those industries are not coming back home to US

So long as sell-outs run things, you're right. I aim to change that.

“Your “cost-universe” is particularly a function of Chinese Communist guns and batons aimed at their own hostages.”

You talk about it like you have actually witnessed it happen first hand. If not, then your commentary is not very different from the techniques of communist propaganda.

“Your so-called three continent experience is not particularly believable.”

Or rather palatable?

“As the wages in all the Pacific tigers easily are higher than China’s. India for example is not as cheap as China.”

I know for fact India has far less wages rate then China. India is one country that has a trade surplus against China and is the reason why India doesn't have any flooding of Chinese goods despite opening up of border trade near Sikkim.

Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Bangladesh offer competitive cost of labour, some much less then China. China’s sheer size and their economy of scale helps it reduce costs further even when the labour rates in other countries are far lower. My point is some of those advantages can be replicated if thing are done rightly.

“China also SUBSIDIZES its exports. “

I already made the point regarding China being a security threat and i will not repeat myself.

“So long as sell-outs run things, you’re right. I aim to change that.”

How exactly? Lets hear it!
