Thing about manufacturing is, as I find as we have a sister company starting in China, is that if you require a certain income that employers are willing to pay other people arnt willing to pay for the higher cost of goods, if manufacturing in China is cheaper and we as consumers want cheap no will in the world will will change whats happening even tho you km at see a superior product.
Were lucky at the moment as were a world leader (yeh right) and oil companies want and need reliability when China catches up they will go there.
