And the business model of western companies is sick. It is short term, totally profit driven with no thought of where the company will be in 10-20 years time.
Hi
Sapper and all contributors
Many thanks for such a considered response.
I am no more competent in giving responses than the folks here.
But ... I do blame Western countries - not China- for the decline of Western manufacturing.
WE ... our Governments and our companies ... let this happen.
Of course, the average, struggling punter will want to buy a $20 power drill or toaster made
in the C word.
I wish already wealthy Westerners were less selfish.
our 'Captains of industry' are to blame for their greed - not ours!
The average Australian would happily buy Australian if we were allowed to.
