Remember when "Made in Japan" took away American jobs --
or at least American workers thought it did?
In today's New York Times (21Apr):
"Japan Braces for a 'Designed in China' World"
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/21/business/yourmoney/21CHIN.html
Now Japan is outsourcing not only manufacturing
but also *research and development* to *China*!
"China is quickly becoming a country of low wage and high tech,"
Now, of course, I have little doubt that -- ars longa vita brevis --,
someday, China will outsource manufacturing, and then R&D, to
some even lower-cost country, and so on, trickle-down
without end, Amen....
