Please, please, please do some research about economics before making extraordinary claims like this.

Pretty sure when a some chinese factory can produce parts for cheaper then a American factory, then the American factory is going out of business. First the chinese factories don't have to abide by environmental rules that American factories would otherwise have to follow. Then you have the obvious of cheap labor. That's free market/capitalistism for you.
