I agree with your thoughts. However, our problem is not one of Chinese conpanies marketing their goods here, it is of our own companies having products made overseas. What this amounts to are products often designed here, but produced in asia. The marketing is American, the look is American, the name is American. The products however are entirely foriegn. A recent Wall Street Journal article reported that the wages of factory workers in China to be 80 to 120 dollars per month. For 10 hours a day, 6 - 7 days a week. This works out to less than .50 cents per hour. This puts the average American worker at a 10 to 30 dollar an hour disadvantage. The Chinese worker is not working with old technology either. Our companies are building state of the art plants in china. Often the American workers have older equipment than thier corporate chinese competitors. How do you win when your own company sells you out? My 2c Irv
