Where are they assembled now?

Assembled here baby.

What makes you think they would move all that infrastructure elsewhere?

Cheaper labor as in way cheaper labor.

BTW: Opening any new manufacturing plants in China lately? Yeah you don't have a biased opinion LOL

And if you were a Boeing exec would you assume the risk and cost of moving all that production to another country? Especially when a weaker dollar is making your product more competitive than your only rival?

Cheaper labor as in way cheaper labor.

Why is their labor cheaper and ours more expensive? Do you understand anything about productivity? If labor cost is the only consideration why do we still manufacture more here today than at any other time in our history? Why hasn't all our manufacturing moved overseas? Why do so many foreign manufacturers choose to locate here? Is it our cheap labor?

Opening any new manufacturing plants in China lately?

To do business in some countries and continents you have to physically be there. Not all companies can export their products and be successful. That's pretty basic and common knowledge. Were you aware that about 60% of what China exports comes from foreign owned firms? Should we ban our companies from locating in China and just cede that emerging market to the Europeans, Japanese, Koreans and others? The left in this country would like to have that power and would love it if more big government conservatives, like Pat Buchanan, would lend them a hand.
