Hello Pezz, <<with similar raw materials and workmanship the Chinese products will be considerably cheaper>> ... by my investigation, it turns out that even when the US manufacturer and the Chinese manufacturer uses the same exact raw material sourced from a third country, the raw material ends up cheaper by the time it arrives in any US-owned factory in China than in any Chinese-owned US factory ;0) This above strangeness is not because the Chinese government subsidizes the US-owned Chinese factory and the US government is not supporting the Chinese-owned US factory, but because the middlemen between the raw material source (i.e. Swedish specialty tool steel) and the factories in the US are more expensive and less productive (value for cost) than the middlemen involved in China-based and whomever owned productions. This is why the likes of Haim are out of fantastic solutions and so are reaching for nukes, all in the name of encouraging free choice and democracy ;0) Chugs, Jay
