What's gong on man .... Chinese made trailers are attacking your business?
No worries ...
cheap < quality
I am sure those little kids working in China don't mind the Corporate USA spend more on their salary.

Indian and Chinese quality is cheap and poor, But they are getting better. If we allow them, they will control our economy.

The US is just moving on to a more service-based economy leaving manufacturing to developing countries like China and India, and a host of others. It's hard to purchase anything American nowadays anyway.
I understand your point about buying domestic goods, but honestly, most manufactured products have so much import content that where it's made is not where the money is going.

"American" businesses have more to do with driving "American" businesses OUT of business than imports ever hoped to.

I'm in manufacturing, and that is not correct. The over seas products are poorer quality, less accurate, and made of weaker material.
if they hold up their standards and require factories to be up to a certain quality and material.. thats how it is
