Lot's of talk going around about leveling the playing field, but offshoring of any jobs is definitely not a level playing field.
Even though I can be pretty Right Wong on stuff, I don't it's unreasonable to say if you are going to enjoy US distributions systems, regulations, and misc infrastructure, and most of all a consumer market that pays the prices you are asking for, then you need to make your stuff or support your services here. Feel free to build shit in China or India...but sell it there for the prices you can get there.
THAT, is a level playing field.
So Made in China stuff for China, Made in Japan stuff for Japan. US exports lots of arms and ammunition, may you can keep it to your self. But then you might argue, hey there is a demand for it, therefore other countries are buying it, there is nothing wrong in that. The same logic applies to "cheap" labor there is a demand for it, therefore.. Do look up globalization.

Good luck, MS, hope it works out for you.
