I understand that. But the Chinese people I have known in the import business (only two) are as capitalistic as they come. One of them told me that he became a landed immigrant because it was much better for doing business in China to be a foreign citizen. I asked him how money could be made on a 37 cent item, which was what his warehouse was selling to the dollar stores for at the time and go through four channels of distribution. He just kind of smirked. I asked him what the Chinese manufacture made, and he shrugged and said not my problem.
Anyway probably I have gone too far off topic.
Sorry
