I just spent the weekend with a pretty high level delegation from China. At the final banquet, some of them were telling my wife that they appreciated the low prices in US stores. They were especially happy with some shoes that cost 6 times more than in China. They were taken aback when she mentioned that the shoes were made in China, where they presumably cost far less than in Los Angeles.
