Re: European Salon de News, Discussion et Klatsch (4.00 / 2)
If there's any lesson here, it should be: in a race to the bottom, you're always bound to loose out at the end, even if you're the most populous country on Earth with a seemingly bottomless labor pool.

Heard the same thing about electronics sub-contracting, BTW: Taiwanese ODM moving manufacturing from the coastal provinces of Mainland China to "cheaper" destinations; the current favorite: Vietnam.

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.
