Yes, it takes a while for an operation like china to get its act into gear.

Nope, nothing to do with leadership in the US at all, everything to
do with china waking up and smelling the coffee and noticing that
capitalism works a hell of a lot better than communism does.

They are saving a hell of a lot more than just a few pennys.

Thats a lie. The unemployment rate bottomed at 4.x% with an immense
legal and illegal immigration rate and the participation rate at an all time
historic high just before the clowns were allowed to completely implode
the entire world financial system, again.

Another lie. You dont pay slaves, you flog them to make them do what you want them to do.

Plenty are concerned, but not prepared to pay a lot more for
what may not be any better materials and workmanship wise.
