The only problem with Google and GoDaddy's movement out of China is that we're tipping the economic scale in the wrong way. We're taking away the products and services that make us money from the Chinese, but what we ought to be doing is taking away the things that give them money, such as manufacturing. Dell definitely has it right by pulling in the other direction. The trade gap is enormous and we need to fix that.

This is a basic tenet of economics called Comparative Advantage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage ). (I note that in the presence of market-distorting factors like tariffs, comparative advantage becomes much muddier)
