They just passed a stimulus package that will pay all costs for Japanese owned companies that operate in China to relocate back. I believe it also includes tax incentives. I believe the US and other nations will follow suit.
Whether accidental or intentional, the Chi-Coms haves screwed the pooch. No mater what propaganda the Chi-Coms attempt, anything Made In China will be suspect.
