What's your anecdotal evidence for that? Cisco's major R&D is done in Silicon Valley. The specially designed chips for it's new big router were designed by IBM right here in the good old U.S. of A. As long as we keep the DESIGN here, who cares about where we put the boxes together. If China wants to take a U.S. company's motherboards and various router parts and put them together in Shanghai cheaper than we can do it here, then more power to them. Americans lose nothing, but gain in terms of increased corporate profits and margins, which allows those U.S. companies to higher more design engineers to keep the good ideas flowing. Now if you can show me where we are taking a U.S. design engineering lead and putting them in China over a team of Chinese nationals to design a complex, strategically important system, then that would scare me. Do you have an example of that?
