From Harmy At some point when the Chinese government becomes concerned enough they will hire foreign tax and accountancy experts who will identify who is doing the transfer pricing and they will be able to stop the practice. What this will do is force the foreign owned companies to pay their due tax which will have the added benefit of tending to drive out the foreign companies leaving the Chinese companies in control. The foreign owned companies will only stay in China so long as it's profitable to do so. Right now they are making hay while the sun shines but it won't last. Regards Harmy
