>> Walmart would have empty shelves if you removed all the Chinese products. << Only Walmart? I would say 50% of all stores in the US would have nearly empty shelves<g>. But since last year, the dirty cheap labor in China has been in short supply. Farmers just refused to go to work in those sweatshops where they will have to work for 12-14 hrs. a day and 6-7 days a week for less than US$100 a month, and be treated not much better than an animal. Lots of Taiwanese businessmen, as well as other sweatshop owners in GuangDong, Fujian, ZheJiang and Jiangsu, now have to pay more in order to get their order done. This will help the inflation in developed countries.
