Everything said by anyone is open to interpretation, especially when stated briefly.

Just so there's no confusion of intent, if you are to more accurately distill my long post to a single sentence in the context you're stating it would be more accurate to say; "American companies went there looking for competitive." The marketplace dictates what's "cheap". As for the cost of controls, your statement would only be accurate if what we do here is the ideal, not the perceived ideal. Just as one very small example of, in my opinion, what we do wrong, we as consumers pay an enormous hidden cost for frivolous litigation. The trial lawyers get paid very well for services that do little of benefit to society in far too many instances. Maybe that would be the way for our country to regain a competitive advantage, send all our trial lawyers to China.

Edit: I like Jerry's idea too.
