- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoYes, but this still adds to the atrophy of local manufacturing expertise. This did not start with China. Japan did it after WWII (remember "cheap Japanese"?). Korea did it after Japan. Now, both Korea and Japan are becoming known for high-quality, pricey stuff. Many Korean and Japanese corporations manufacture in China, Thailand, and Vietnam. China is headed that way too, but it may take longer.
