It is what it is. If we want to sell our goods overseas, we have trade agreements to buy stuff as well. Then there is the issue of trade partners not applying the same standards/conditions to their manufacturing that we insist on.
We are all adding to the issue when we go for the cheap TV,clothes,toys, gadgets, even building products and components.
The only way to fix the decline of manufacturing in this country is to make the global manufactured goods market as equitable as the commodities market is.(We all buy raw materials at the same prices)
The above solution is a fantasy without forcing developing countries to leap up to our standard...... so will never happen.
$'s rule. Get used to wharehouses instead of factories in your local industrial estate.
