So your guess is that Boeing is fleeing exceedingly high corporate tax rates. Are your guesses always so completely uninformed? Between 2005 and 2008 Boeing paid an average corporate tax rate of 3.2%. See: http://bwnt.businessweek.com/interactive_reports/corporate_taxes_2009/who_pays_the_least.asp. Not exactly a backbreaking tax burden, or one that would drive a company overseas. McNerney is making a grave mistake if he thinks China will be satisfied just being a subcontractor. Intel keeps its leading design in house - they would never outsource that, especially in China, who they know want to be a powerhouse in semiconductors.
