Something to think about<\/h3>\n

China is letting low-cost production shift out of the country and is focusing instead on capital-intensive industries. Chinese labor costs have soared, undermining the calculus that brought all those jobs to China in the first place, and new robot technology is cheaper and easier to deploy than ever before.<\/p>\n

But, if everybody has access to the same technology, why manufacture in China and pay shipping? <\/p>\n
