Quote:But, this type of story repeats itself all over the world where peoples livelihood moves to where it can be made for 1/10th the cost. Now fair is fair, right. But, when the people who are doing it are cheating the system and creating a trade vacuum then our government has an obligation to stop it. They are not.As usual you seem to know what the problem is, but blame the wrong people for it.
You really believe the developing countries maintain this 'trade vacuum' on purpose? It's us, Kandrathe, the consumers of the developed nations, who want or even need it to be this way. With the amount of goods we use, things have to be as cheap as possible. Much cheaper as it would be when we made it ourselves.
Besides, most developing countries are unable to profit substantially from this 'trade vacuum', because many of their industries and plantations are owned by our companies. China however, does manage to profit, despite it being considered a developing country, because it always opposed foreign take-overs. Might this be the motive behind your accusations? You hate them because they didn't allow us to turn them into a third world colony? Because they are also too big to threaten into submission?
Luckily, the solution is simple. You only need to think about the products you buy. That's all. No need to stop buying everything. Just think about the things you buy.
