As manufacturing of electronics in the United States began moving offshore decades ago, some feared the American economy would suffer. But the American companies, as well as economists and policy makers, said that as long as the high-value jobs like research and design remained in the United States, there was little danger. Asian investments in Silicon Valley present some risks for America’s top technology companies, which could lose their connection to top innovations. There's another problem....the brain drain from India and China to the US is reversing. As the Asian companies power up, the Indians and Chinese don't feel the need to emigrate.
