The world has moved on quite a bit since the 1980´s. As I said before, we must change our view not only on China, but also on India, Taiwan and, since a long time, on Korea. Granted, in India, as well as China, the vast majority of the people are still poor beyond belief, but those countries have joined the ranks of highly industrialized nations for some time now. Who cares, that the technological base for that development was "imported" - we gave it away knowing what would happen, because we wanted it that way. China has reached a position which makes us dependent on Chinese goods. Extract everything made in China from your home and there is hardly anything left. You might even have to run around in your birthday suit ... [swg], as all those fancy labels are produced in China (or Bangladesh). Our hobby would be non-existant without Chinese manufacturers, as we have made our own resources redundant. Yes, jobs were and still will be lost, but China is not the one to blame. It was us who failed to develop new jobs in advanced industries. `Nuff said, again - I will now enjoy my little Japanese built HOn3 Tenwheeler run on my test track ... - built in 1974! At that time, no one complained about the Japanese dominating the brass market.
