To add on to your comment, those other companies do not have the same buying policies that Walmart uses with its suppliers. That really creates an incentive for those corporations to move production off shore. Moreover with current tax structures for corporations they still get corporate tax breaks even though most of their production is offshore.
Perhaps one way of countering the trend is to make it far more expensive for the companies to offshore - elmination of any tax credits etc or a surtax on offshoring.
