>If you have gone through years of moving everything to China to make it cheaper to manufacture, improved technology to make processes more efficient, etc. and I'm still paying the same amount for all of the stuff in my life, then again, maybe all these things are cheaper, but I'm also buying them with currency that's less valuable. On top of that, there is talk, political rhetoric perhaps but still talk, of moving manufacturing back in house. The US wants to do it with chip manufacturing on nat security grounds. Trump and Bernie popularity was partially on anti NAFTA grounds. There's increasing hostility between China and US (witness the MS hack last week). Nothing stays the same, and we might be in for some surprises.
