        Then move production to somewhere else. Mexico and Central America would be my first choice, hell its probably cheaper too since ya save on transport expenses.

            And how much of that is actual price versus, subsidized price? China has a geopolitical interest in maintaining the status qou, but based of the gradual shift towards places like Vietnam I suspect the only reason its still cheaper in China is subsidies. And well I dont factor that into my math, mostly cause its a soft factor that can be eliminated.

                Industrial subsidies, they are pretty standard but as I understand it China is rather generous with them. But when China runs into problems I dont think they are solvent enough to keep them up.
