Like I said western nations using the low cost labor, what are the Chinese going to make if the western nations pack up shop and move? Where are all those Chines designed products? Then again maybe your a big fan of knock off's.........
The Chinese will continue to make the same things they make now, ...but perhaps with better quality.
You appear to be under the illusion that all Chinese goods are cheap, because that's all you've seen in the west. It's the same false assumption Westerners had about Russian women, ...that they were all masculine & manly looking, because for a long time, the only Russian women the west saw were Russian athletes during the Olympics. The truth is... Russian women are drop dead gorgeous. The athletes we saw at the Olympics prior to Glasnost were pumped with steroids. And by the same token, China is capable of manufacturing high quality goods. They've been doing it for years. The reason we see cheap Chinese imports, is because that is what the importers want. They want cheap, products, made with the cheapest materials, throughout the entire manufacturing process.
If America stops buying Chinese made goods... if the entire WORLD stopped buying Chinese made goods, Chinese could very easily term to her domestic market for consumption. Her population, well into the BILLIONs trumps a population of 300 million broke Americans who are getting broker by the minute.
America has LOST it's manufacturing sector, and because of that is at a tremendous DIS-advantage.
You must rely on other nations to feed, house & clothe yourselves.
