Both the US, UK and others have done well out of global trade. So its no good crying when the competition comes along. US and UK companies also benefit from being able to exploit the emerging labour markets.
+1 to what james said.

This is a problem to us in the US. Maybe folks from other countries don't
care, and that is understandable, but it doesn't mean that we Americans
shouldn't stand up and fight. I wonder why we allow people to come over to
the US, attend our colleges, work in our firms, and then leave to better
their countries...not ours. It doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe back in
the late 90's when there was a lot of work, but now?
BTW, I have been both outsourced (other country) and downsized (with only
non-US workers left). No, they were not better...but they were a lot
cheaper.

Looks like the only way to compete is to improve yourself. That works for
me, what about you?

This drives me crazy -- our future is being exported and nobody seems to care.
