I'm not sure that China is the proper comparison, their population is just slightly above our 30 million, they account for 27% of US imports against our 12%, they pay about $0.30 US per hour, or at least they did 2 years ago, and they even have nukes. LOL!

BWDIK.

Cheers,

Edit: I meant to add that Europe is not having much luck bucking the current trend.

Mystery Sub Spotted in Japanese Waters

TOKYO (AP) - Japan's navy went on alert Wednesday when an unidentified submarine made a brief incursion into the country's southern waters near Okinawa.

The submarine left Japanese waters shortly after it was spotted and a reconnaissance aircraft and destroyer were monitoring its movements, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroyuki Hosoda said. Tokyo also was trying to determine where the vessel came from.

If the submarine's origin is identified, Japan will take ``necessary steps,'' Hosoda said, without elaborating.
