I hate all of the 'outsourcing' especially since it took my job, but there are some undeniable reasons all global companies are going to make more parts of products in more countries.
I live in Austin, Texas and have seen Dell computer increase over 30,000 in the Pac Rim in three years while Austin is gutted so I'm very sympathetic.
However, there are three big reasons products are going there: 1. Labor cost(That's temporary as their standard of living rises, their labor rises. See Japan)
2. Import taxes in these countries (US, England not excepted) can be high.
3. These emerging countries are where the markets are. The western world can only buy so many of any thing.
Look at the bikes now and where the parts come from: all over the world. In cars a big Ford LTD is actually made in Canada. A Honda Accord is made in US. Its the future.
