Yiwu, don't start! <g> I'm just reading the Viasystems Chinese Salvation in the Asian WSJ. The news caught my attention because the company was in trouble 2002 and was going to close down a factory in France. The factory made printed circuit boards for Harris Corp., our supplier of microwave radios. The strike delayed our roll out (a network for Hutchison in Thailand) and gave me a lot of trouble. Now I discover that Viasystems is in southern China. "The factory operates three shifts, 24 hours a day. 'If it is a leap year we work 366 days.' they say. With a factory like that supplying me I can't miss a deadline and Canning Fok from Hutchison would never see a cent from LDs from us!!!
