Gus > There are other criteria that will compel Chinese corporations to shift part of their production towards the US --such as access to US consumers, marketing know-how that only US retailers can provide, patents and technologies owned by US corporations, etc. OK, but I'm not in a position to know how and when that will happen. Of course, when businesses do well they expand -- everywhere. But, nevertheless, from a cost point of view, while US labour is still very expensive compared to Chinese, that will be a major constraint. So far, there are few US tariffs against Chinese imports, in time there could be, especially if yuan remains so low -- but I'm not clairvoyant.
